Cancer Well-Fit Program to Return in 2024

The Cancer Well-Fit Program is designed for anyone who is currently dealing with cancer, or has been treated in the last year, and wants to regain strength, balance, and energy.

Our goal is to help the cancer recovery process by restoring strength, balance, energy, and confidence. Our primary focus is to condition the Muscular and Cardiovascular Systems through gradual resistance and range-of-motion exercises. We utilize the state-of-the-art exercise facilities at ARFC to introduce progressive weight training, gradual cardiovascular conditioning, and core and balance training.

The Well-Fit program combines the latest in exercise science with a supportive and motivating environment to assist the recovery process.
