TEAM
Survivor Mission
Our
mission is to enable women affected by cancer to take an active
role in regaining and maintaining their health and well-being. We
aim to accomplish this by providing a variety of free exercise and
health education programs.
Why
Team Survivor?
Several
recent research studies have proven the physical and pyschological
benefits of an exercise program for people who are undergoing or
have undergone cancer treatment. Team Survivor is a program of group
exercise, educational classes and fun fitness events for women of
all ages and fitness levels who have a present or past diagnosis
of cancer. Team Survivor's group exercise programs offer the opportunity
not just to become fit again (or for the first time!), but also
to gain a sense of accomplishment, a degree of emotional support,
and a renewed comfort with one's body. As they work out together,
the Team Survivor participants are supporting one another in their
fitness goals and healing journeys.
Team
Survivor Los Angeles (TSLA) was founded in 1999 by two cancer survivors
who wanted to help others to integrate regular fitness activities
into their lives during and after cancer treatment.
