25 Cancer Survivors Graduate from Saratoga YMCA’s LIVESTRONG Program

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga Regional YMCA announced last week the successful completion of the Spring 2025 session of the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program, with 25 cancer survivors graduating after completing the 12-week program. The session was the first time the association has been able to offer the program at all of its six branches.

Since launching the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program in 2013, the Saratoga Regional YMCA has served 538 cancer survivors, helping individuals reclaim their health, rebuild their strength, and connect with a supportive community after a cancer diagnosis.

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a free, research-based physical activity and wellness program designed to help adult cancer survivors regain their physical, emotional, and social well-being. Taught by specially trained YMCA instructors, the program focuses on strength training, cardiovascular endurance, and balance, while also providing a supportive environment for survivors to connect and heal together.
