What is Cancer Exercise?

Cancer Exercise is an exercise program that takes into consideration the limitations of the client’s abilities in their current state due to their disease status, treatment or surgery and their potential side effects, other underlying conditions, and their potential to develop lymphedema.

PREVENTION

Improves overall health and reduces cancer risk factors

cancer and chronic health issues every year

The coursework is intended for ALL fitness professionals; Yoga, Pilates, Barre, ZUMBA, and Group Exercise Instructors as well as Personal Trainers and Exercise Physiologists. You will learn how to modify and adapt your protocol to meet the needs of cancer patients during and after treatment.

What is the Cancer Exercise Specialist Qualification? 

The Cancer Exercise Specialist® Advanced Qualification was developed for health and fitness professionals seeking to attain a higher level of mastery and work with cancer patients during treatment, after cancer surgery, and into survivorship.

ANDREA LEONARD
Founder of CETI, CPT, Course Author

At the age of eighteen, Andrea was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and underwent a complete thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine treatment. Following her surgery, Andrea was challenged with a new, sluggish metabolism, and weight gain. It was through her own personal struggles to regain her previous energy level and physique that Andrea decided to become a personal trainer. She wanted to be able to help others, like herself, who struggled with the same issues of weight gain and poor self-esteem. Andrea graduated from the University of MD in 1990 with a degree in Criminal Justice, but quickly realized that she was in the wrong profession. She avidly pursued a career as a personal trainer.

Andrea was the PFP/Club Industry 2019 Personal Trainer of the Year. Since 1992 Andrea has been certified as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist by The National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), as a Personal Trainer by The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), and the American Council on Exercise (ACE), as a Special Populations Expert by The Cooper Institute.

Andrea is  a subject matter expert for Medical Wellness Association and chairperson for the Medical Fitness Foundation Education Advisory Board and  on the advisory board for the MedFit Network.
