What is a CAN-B Fit program?
These are 6-week subsidised, structured and safe exercise programs for women with breast cancer and men with prostate cancer. The objective of these prorgams is to help counteract some of the side effects of cancer treatment and rebuild strength, mobility, confidence and connection, in a socially supportive and caring space.
The program consists of 6-weekly 1-hour sessions, led by an oncology-trained professional. Each session consists of a combination of muscle-strengthening, flexibility, mobility and cardiovascular exercises.
After each session, there's an opportunity to go for coffee as a group afterwards to give the participants a chance to share some common experiences and concerns with others who understand.
Thanks to PBCF donors, this program costs $40 in total for the 6-week program. However, if you have never attended the clinic where the program is held for an exercise service, you will be required to undergo an inital consultation to assess your suitability for the program and for the exercise professional to gather important information on pre-existing conditions/injuries that may be relevant for the programming of the exercise sessions.
