The Boothbay Region YMCA, in partnership with the Boothbay community and local health professionals, is excited to continue to offer Livestrong at the Boothbay Region YMCA. A program designed to support cancer survivors in their quest to regain their physical, emotional, and spiritual strength.

Livestrong at the Y is a free 12-week program, providing a supportive environment that encourages a survivor’s journey back to a healthier well-being. Participants will be guided through specialized group exercise classes and strength training programs, by Y staff members who have received specific training in cancer treatment and recovery. Our goal is that cancer survivors and their families will turn to the YMCA during and after treatment to heal their bodies, minds, and spirits in a safe, supportive, and respectful environment.

Sign up for the fall session. Day/Time: Begins Sept. 23, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. The 12 week program fee: Free. Please contact Carrie Eason at 207-633-2855 or ceason@brymca.org to sign up for a mandatory intake meeting by Sept. 17. The Y must have six registered participants to run this program.
