How we can help

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, 

How we spend our days at Valere Health

Group Class 

We're in the gym most mornings for group classes, from high intensity group work, cancer specific classes to more gentle pilates, and stretching.

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!
