Fitness Program
Physical activity is an important part of cancer recovery. It helps do the following:

  • reduce fatigue
  • increase strength and endurance
  • improve mood and self-esteem
  • increase quality of life and independence

The Wellness Center Fitness Program creates an exercise prescription for cancer patients based on diagnosis, treatment type and phase, and personal fitness goals. It includes these services:

  • a physical assessment
  • individual exercise program design and monitoring
  • group circuit training
  • community-based fitness activities

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.
