Individulized Training Programs: Following testing, weekly
team meetings (including the physiologist, social worker,
cancer exercise specialist and client care coordinator) are
held to discuss the appropriate plan for a client and then
a comprehensive lifestyle plan is written. Once the team has
conferred, the client care coordinator assists the survivor
in contacting the appropriate team member (nutritionist, therapist,
cancer exercise specialist). The lifestyle plans typically
include: goal setting, motivation strategies, mental well
being advice, exercise prescriptions, nutrition advice and
one-on-one assistance on the health club floor. Our client
care coordinator (medical professional) is also available
to answer medical related questions.

Wellness Coaching: Lifestyle/exercise programs for cancer
survivors have typically been written based on type of cancer
treated (i.e., breast cancer, prostate, lung). We write programming
based on type of treatment (e.g., surgery, surgery with chemotherapy,
surgery with chemotherapy and radiotherapy or any combination
thereof). Considerations are made for type of cancer, current
health status (blood profiles and physician reports), current
medications, complications and previous lifestyle history.
Exercise programming typically follows progressive overload
principles and a periodized format in order to stress the
body appropriately without causing a decline in health status
(see appendix XX).
