Hello everyone,

I just wanted to mention, that there is a free 3 month membership to the YMCA for us cancer folks. It includes a trainer to help you, and you get to mingle with other cancer patients. You must attend the class 2 days per week, but you are free to workout and attend as many classes as you want to, just like a normal membership. Here is the link below to the programs in California, but I know when I was first looking around on the net, that it is available in other states too.

    Here is another link
    Hi SisterS, I looked aroung and found another link for the program. I didn't see Utah on the list, but I also didn't see the California listings on that page. They must need to update the list. Perhaps you can try calling or emailing them to see if it is available in your area. Take care
