The Auburn Valley YMCA is offering Exercise & Thrive, a 12-week program designed to help cancer survivors.

Sessions, which include two 90-minute classes each week, will begin the week of Sept. 13. Class times vary. The Y is located at 1620 Perimeter Road, Auburn.

The program helps cancer survivors strengthen muscles, increase flexibility and improve endurance in weekly exercise sessions while receiving health-and-wellness support from professional YMCA staff.

The program is supported by Livestrong, which is partnering with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Survivorship Program and YMCA to create wellness programs for cancer survivors.

Registration ranges from $25-$165, and participants receive a free 12-week YMCA membership.
