Cancer Exercise Coach
Why is it so important for cancer patients to exercise? Why is working with a cancer exercise coach or cancer personal trainer the key to success? Regular exercise has been shown to reduce the risk of recurrence of many common cancers. For some cancers by up to 40%. Read that again. If you exercise regularly, your cancer is less likely to come back. Exercise during cancer treatment reduces the side effects. It reduces your recovery time from surgery. Movement helps chemotherapy work better. And exercise after cancer helps you bounce back to a better version of you when it’s all over. Wherever you are in your travels through cancer, NOW is the time to unleash the power of movement.
Receiving a cancer diagnosis is life changing. And terrifying. And lonely. It might not be the first thing to spring to mind, but having cancer is also the time to make lasting, positive changes to your fitness and lifestyle. Why? Because you deserve to be the healthiest, strongest and most confident version of you.
In June 2025, a 10 year study on cancer and exercise was presented at ASCO (The American Society of Clinical Oncology). It proved - again - the importance of exercise for cancer patients in reducing the risk of recurrence. It also proved that those patients who worked with a cancer exercise specialist or cancer personal trainer saw the best results and had the lowest likelihood of recurrence. Why? Trust. Expertise. Support. Confidence. Understanding. Accountability.

“Steph has helped me so much in getting back into exercise after cancer treatment. When I finished, I just didn’t feel like me. I was exhausted and didn’t recognise myself or my body. After 6 weeks, I already feel way fitter and stronger and I’m ready to embrace my new life as a cancer THRIVER. Thank you!”
