Overview
Research shows that tailored exercise benefits most people with cancer - before, during and after treatment. Staying active can help manage side effects, speed recovery and improve quality of life. In some cases, regular exercise may reduce the risk of cancer returning by up 60%.
What is Prost-FIT?
PCFNZ's Prost-FIT programme is designed specifically for men living with prostate cancer, at any stage of diagnosis or treatment. Involving both physical and cognitive elements delivered in a supporting environment, with an emphasis on fun and social interaction. Prost-FIT also offers camaraderie and opportunities for shared experiences.
Delivered by trained, registered exercise professionals, Prost-FIT class numbers are capped to ensure participants receive safe, personalised support.
How much does it cost?
Prost-FIT is free to attend (T&Cs apply), with weekly classes held in 4 blocks of 10 weeks (40 weeks) over the course of the year. Participants need to formally register with the trainer of the class they wish to attend. In addition to the weekly classes, arrangements can be made privately with the class trainer to attend additional fitness sessions. These private arrangements are outside of the official Prost-FIT programme and will ordinarily incur a fee with the trainer.
