Breast Cancer Survivors' Fit Club

Breast Cancer Survivors' Fit Club is a complimentary 10-week overall fitness and wellness program specifically designed for breast cancer survivors. Fit Club focuses on improving balance, postural stability, cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, body composition, and symptoms of fatigue. The program also provides a supportive community which enhances mental wellness leading to a healthy sense of self.

Survivors' Fit Club runs three times a year and is sponsored by Racquets for Recovery, an organization that benefits patients of MUSC Hollings Cancer Center’s Comprehensive Breast Care Program. Each 10-week session can support up to 12 survivors.

If you have completed the Survivors' Fit Club, we also offer our Fight Back (Fit Club Phase 2) which builds on the strength and stamina you gained in Survivors' Fit Club.
