The Duke Health and Fitness Center has a specialized program
designed to help people undergoing and recovering from cancer
treatment. Our blended focus on fitness, stress management, and
nutrition provide patients with the tools and support they need
to maintain their strength, stamina, and positive outlook.
Our structured wellness program can:
- Help you become actively involved in your own
recovery
- Increase your energy level and mood
- Provide you with support from staff and other
members
- Help you concentrate on exercise, nutrition, and stress
education
- Promote weight loss or maintenance as needed
- Help you relax and raise your overall awareness of
wellness
You will be assigned a lifestyle counselor -- an exercise
physiologist knowledgeable about cancer treatment and recovery
-- who will help you set short- and long-term goals, establish
a convenient and flexible exercise program, and choose among
the many stress reduction, nutrition, and therapeutic
activities available at the Health and Fitness Center.
Cancer rehabilitation services also include:
- Access to the Duke Health and Fitness Center, including
all group classes, swimming pool, spa, sauna, and the indoor
and outdoor tracks

cardiovascular equipment orientation, lifestyle goal-setting,
