The Battle Cancer Program

Worldwide Fitness Support for those Post-Cancer

 

What is The Battle Cancer Program?

The Battle Cancer Program is a fully-funded strength and fitness program, delivered twice a week for 12-weeks, specifically tailored for people post-cancer treatment and launching in January 2025! The program is specifically designed to engage people who have experienced cancer in a meaningful pathway of structured and progressive exercise rehabilitation that builds physical confidence, independence, a belief in a better quality of life and health for the future.

How is the Battle Cancer Program different?

The battle cancer driving philosophy is restoration through rehabilitation; motivation through inspiration; hope through healing.

Whilst adhering to best practice in terms of physical rehabilitation in the wake of treatment for cancer, the Battle Cancer program is distinctly different to the common means of assisted recovery through exercise in a few different ways.

Firstly, the Battle Cancer program is housed within the world’s best gym facilities and delivered by the most highly skilled and experienced fitness professionals operating within the global sector.

Secondly, the focus of the exercise sessions, from day one, is to instil life-long compliance with exercise as a behaviour and not merely as a means of short-term intervention. The Battle Cancer program is a new beginning for those who choose to enrol, and the first step towards believing and achieving new standards of health and fitness.

Finally, the environments that house the Battle Cancer program are inspiring, inclusive, and non-medical.

The Program

initial consultation

Following an initial consultation (covering all aspects of past medical history, as well as past exercise experience, and completion of a physical activity readiness questionnaire), each individual is assessed in terms of their functional ability and exercise tolerance appropriate to the individual.
