LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA Spring Session

We know that cancer is a life-altering disease with significant physical and emotional impacts. Through collaboration, the Y and LIVESTRONG® have created LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA, a 12-week program tailored for adult cancer survivors to rebuild their health and strength in a supportive setting. Participants work closely with trained Y staff to personalize the program.

The LIVESTRONG® program begins its spring session at Berkeley Heights on March 25, and you can register with the link above.

Outside of the program itself, benefits include a Summit Area YMCA membership and access to the Virtual Fitness Studio. Goals include rebuilding muscle, enhancing flexibility, reducing fatigue, and boosting confidence. Physician-approved medical clearance is necessary for participation.

SUMMIT AREA YMCA

BERKELEY HEIGHTS YMCA | SUMMIT YMCA | THE LEARNING CIRCLE YMCA

In 1886, we were founded as the Young Men’s Christian Association, but today, we are The Y; an association that values, and is made stronger by, its diverse people. We stand for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility — For a better us. We are committed to creating equal opportunity for all regardless of gender, age, disability, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious affiliation. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive culture in which our four core values — responsibility, honesty, caring and respect — are integral to everyday operations.

Each year, as one of the area’s leading 501(c)3 charitable organizations, the Summit Area YMCA serves more than 15,000 individuals with our free and fee-based programs and services in an area spanning the New Jersey communities of Berkeley Heights, Gillette, Millburn, New Providence, Short Hills, Springfield, Stirling and Summit. Our history is rooted in working side-by-side with our neighbors to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Through the generosity of our members, donors, and partners, we are able to offer financial assistance for our programs and services to those in need.

Please note that the section of Maple Street closest to the Summit YMCA will be closed from approximately 7 AM to 11 AM on Sunday, May 5, for our Mother’s Day 5K. Please use Cedar Street to access the public lot that is next to our building.
