Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of taking part in the Exercise Programme?

Exercise has been clinically proven to have a wide range of benefits for people living with and beyond cancer. It reduces fatigue, boosts mental health, enhances physical function and supports recovery, all of which can improve overall outcomes and reduce the side effects of treatment.

I’ve never been into exercise – is this for me?

Absolutely – our Exercise Programme is specifically tailored to meet you where you are, with personalised goals and targets to suit you. You’ll also have regular contact from our Cancer Rehab Instructors so you can always make sure it’s working for you.

I exercised a lot before my diagnosis – will I be able to get back to where I was before?

Our programme is designed to help you build back mobility and fitness in a safe, gradual and sustainable way. Our specialist instructors will be able to instruct you on what movement is appropriate for you at every stage of the process, so you can get moving again in a way that suits you.

What if I have limited mobility?

Our programme is accessible to people of all mobility levels, and we’ll take your specific needs into consideration to create a programme that’s suitable and achievable for you.

Will doing this exercise make my fatigue worse?

Exercise is proven to reduce cancer treatment symptoms like fatigue, improving energy levels and increasing overall stamina – so taking part could help you feel more energised. Our Wellness Assessment will also take your needs and abilities into account and balance this alongside other commitments that you need to dedicate energy to.

Am I well enough to take part in the programme?

There’s no standard for wellness needed to take part in the programme – our instructors will take your specific needs and requirements into account and provide you with a programme that’s safe and achievable for you.

Who delivers the programme?

Our live Zoom sessions are delivered by our experienced Cancer Rehab Instructors, who are all trained in cancer-specific rehabilitation. We also have a suite of on-demand classes coming soon with a range of intensities and durations, and are all designed to be cancer-safe.

Do you provide nutritional support?

Take a look at Trekstock’s Food + Cancer Guide for lots of advice on cancer and nutrition, as well as myth-busting info and recipe ideas.

Can you offer any face-to-face support?

Our exercise programme is entirely online, but we host a variety of in-person events for our community in London, hosted by our Trekstock Ambassadors. Head to our Get Support page to see what events we have coming up.

How soon can I start the programme once I’ve applied?

Once you’ve applied and we have all your relevant forms, we aim to get you started in a group as soon as possible. Once we have a small group ready to go, we’ll assign you to one of our trainers. This usually happens within 3-4 weeks of your application.

Is there a waiting list?

There’s no waiting list – we group our participants depending on their availability, and aim to get everyone started as soon as possible.

Do you support people with late effects?

Our programme is for people in their 20s, 30s and 40s living with or beyond a cancer diagnosis. While many participants are no longer in active treatment, they may still be experiencing the long-term effects of cancer and its treatment. The programme provides support to help people navigate these challenges, improve their physical and mental wellbeing, and connect with others who understand their experience.

“I have realised I am stronger than I thought having built more muscle and lost fat and gained weight. It’s amazing what your body can do when you give it the right tools and treat it right.”

“The trainer really listened to what I enjoy (and don't!) and tailored the programme to my ability and my goals.”
