## TL;DR

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a free twelve-week exercise programme for adults who have had cancer, run at YMCAs across the US.

## Summary

Exercise after cancer treatment improves fitness, fatigue and quality of life, and structured programmes are now recommended in guidelines. LIVESTRONG at the YMCA delivers one: adult survivors meet twice a week for twelve weeks with instructors trained in cancer exercise, and participants get a Y membership for the programme. It is free at participating YMCAs and the Livestrong site lists locations.
