Community-Based Fitness Activities

After participants attain a base level of fitness, they are encouraged to attend seasonal activities sponsored by the Wellness Center:

• aquatoning classes
• road biking
• fly fishing
• hiking
• rowing
• snowshoeing

Through these activities, participants increase their fitness levels as well as enjoy the company of others dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

Activities are open to all current and past Huntsman Cancer Institute patients. To make an appointment, call the Fitness Program at (801) 587-4585 or leave a message at (801) 339-2613.
