About the Program
The Larry Holder Exercise and Cancer Survivorship program offers cancer survivors in the San Luis Valley the opportunity to participate in an individualized exercise program conducted in a group setting which meets three times per week for 10 weeks. The program also provides Adams State undergraduate and graduate kinesiology students experience in fitness testing as well as guiding and supporting program participants.
What makes it special?
We will work with each individual to reach personal goals based on current health & fitness; there is lots of one-on-one personal training to match each individual’s ability. Participants are encouraged to continue with the on-going study as a part of our growing Maintenance group
