Team Survivor Northwest provides a broad range of fitness and health education programs to enable women cancer survivors, in any stage of treatment or recovery and at any fitness level, to take an active role in their ongoing physical and emotional healing.
Description:
Because the scope of the activities offered by Team Survivor Northwest is so broad, we enroll women in their 20's as well as women in their 70's, women who are basically fit as well as women who may have never exercised in their life. Our ongoing activities promote greater self-sufficiency in combination with making health and fitness an integral and ongoing part of participant's lives. In summary, Team Survivor Northwest plays out a unique role in providing cancer survivors at all stages of treatment and survivorship with the opportunity to pursue personal health goals and maintain an exercise program in the company of other cancer survivors at whatever level is comfortable for them. The uniqe structure provides an opportunity for all participants to benefit and develop both physicalland emotionally, while proceeding at an individual pace.
History:
Team Survivor Northwest has been providing health and fitness programs for survivors in the Seattle area since 1995. Weekly programs include indoor training at five community hospitals, yoga and aquatics at the Rainier Beach Community Center, fitness walking, biking and dragon boat paddling. Seasonal programs include showshoeing, cross-country skiing, mountain climbing and an annual fitness retreat.
