31% of you who living beyond cancer are inactive while half of you are still at a working age and I understand the barriers that you may feel when exercising.

How do I start?
Will I hurt myself?
Will I exacerbate symptoms?
Will I hold everyone back in a class?
You may have tried yourself and failed.

A one to one consultation may be necessary prior to the class to ensure exercises can be targeted to you and your personal recovery needs.

The tailored safe small group classes are your next step. On completion of the “NEXT STEPS” Program you will have a further option to partake in an 8 week outdoor water based activity program which includes Kayaking and Stand up Paddle boarding.

We all know we need to exercise but where do you start? How much?
What should I feel? What can happen?
The door to exercise and rehab after cancer never closes!
