WELCOME TO THE EXTRA TOUGHS PROGRAM!
A 12-week wellness program designed specifically for women survivors of gynecologic cancer and breast cancer. We believe the term cancer survivor refers to anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer no matter where they are in the course of their disease.
Our program includes:
– Weekly small group fitness classes
– Nutrition and mindset classes
– Small group counseling sessions
– A supportive community with other GYN + breast cancer survivors
We take an innovative approach to providing health and wellness services that help you feel stronger, healthier, and supported in all areas of your cancer and wellness journey.

EXERCISE
Extra Tough fitness classes are offered three times a week in live group sessions offered in person or on Zoom. The classes focus on improving mobility, balance and strength using basic movement patterns such as pushing, pulling, hinging, squatting and lunging. Exercise equipment, such as a stability ball, weights, and resistance bands are supplied. Any exercise can be modified to accommodate fitness levels and/or limitations. Recorded sessions are available online.
NUTRITION
Nutrition classes are offered weekly with live group sessions via Zoom. These classes are interactive and provide information on holistic approaches to managing pain, headaches and discomfort, healthy and portable foods for travel, information on protein supplements, nutrition for exercise, metabolism, hormones and many others! There are also cooking demonstrations and recipes. Nutrition classes are recorded and recipes, health information and a summary of the class sent out after each class.
COUNSELING
Counseling sessions are offered weekly with live group sessions via Zoom. Sessions are limited to 8 members and have the same group of women to help build a supportive community. Sessions provide support for members in every aspect of their life, whether that is their cancer journey, relationships, or daily stressors. Counseling sessions are not recorded due to confidentiality.
In addition to weekly programming, participants will have access to social opportunities like nature walks/hikes, picnics, and possible retreats in the future. Extra Toughs also fosters a supportive community for women to connect, share stories, and keep in touch throughout each cohort and beyond.
