Brought to the San Luis Valley by Adams State University, SLV Health, and the Colorado Cancer Coalition.

Who?
  • Adams State University with support and funding from SLV Health and the Colorado Cancer Coalition
What?
  • A fully funded 12-week exercise program offered to all cancer survivors at any stage of treatment or remission
When?
  • We start new sessions 2x a year coinciding with Adams State Fall and Spring Semesters
  • We offer morning and afternoon sessions three times a week to accommodate as many participants as possible
Where?
  • All exercise sessions will be held at the Alamosa Family Recreation Center
  • Fitness testing will take place at Adams State’s East Campus Human Performance Lab & Indoor Track (the Bubble)
Why?
  • Exercise has been shown to improve health outcomes in many cancer survivors with different types of cancer
  • Working with a group who have similar experiences can aid in support and improve overall quality of life
What’s included?
  • Pre- and post-testing of fitness to see progress throughout
  • 10 weeks of supervised exercise including aerobic, resistance training, group sport, and balance activities
  • Educational sessions to provide health-related information to all participants
What else?
  • We will work with each individual to reach personal goals based on current health & fitness; there is lots of one-on-one personal training to match each individual’s ability
  • Participants are encouraged to continue with the on-going study as a part of our growing Maintenance group
