A growing body of research highlights the importance of exercise for prostate cancer patients. Benefits include reduced fatigue, lowered risk of osteoporosis (where bones become weak and less dense), increased strength and aerobic fitness, and improved posture, balance and metabolic function. On average, patients have at least 12 months of inactivity which can result in weight gain, loss of muscle and physical strength which can be a real knock to their confidence. ProstFIT classes also include mindful meditation to support mental as well as physical health during this challenging time.

International research ties exercise with prostate cancer survival, with evidence suggesting that men who are physically active before and after diagnosis have better outcomes.

Regularly weekly classes commence on Wednesdays from the 28th of April from 1-2 pm at Richmond Aquatic Centre.
There is a charge of $10 per session, but financial support is available if this a barrier to attending.
