exercise physiology
Research shows that people living with cancer who exercise regularly have better health outcomes and improved quality of life.
Since 2018, Valere Health has been using the latest in exercise science and oncology research to develop exercise programs that help people live well with and beyond cancer.
Why exercise?
Improve your health
Research shows exercise can improve your health and wellbeing. Regular exercise can improve your overall strength, heart health, bone strength, mood, and mental health. Exercise also helps improve the effectiveness of treatments like radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Exercise has also been shown to suppress cancer growth.
Reduce side effects
Regular exercise has been shown to lessen the impact of treatment-related side effects, including reducing fatigue, improving pain, peripheral neuropathy, mental health, and sleep.
Reduce your risk
Research shows targeted regular exercise reduces the risk of cancer recurrence and other conditions including heart disease and diabetes,

Hear from our clients
"Valere Health gave me the motivation and strength when I couldn’t find it myself. It allowed me to start achieving things I thought I couldn’t. Not only did it help my physical strength and sore joints, it helped me mentally cope with the treatment. Morgan never failed to put a smile on my face and I’ll be forever grateful”
Wendy D
Morgan always met me with warmth and support during our sessions. The exercises made me feel strong (even when I felt pretty crook!); the regular classes give me structure in my week and something look forward to, when everything else feels a little bit out of control"
Emma
Morgan and the team at Valere Health saved my life after breast cancer treatment. My improvement has been contagious and now my husband also trains with me 5 years on. Make an appointment and get started!
