This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Project EXCEL is testing whether regular exercise classes can help cancer survivors feel better and improve their quality of life. The study focuses on making exercise programs available to people in rural and remote communities who may have limited access to specialized cancer care. Exercise has strong evidence showing it helps cancer survivors, but most programs have only been available in cities and large medical centers.
Most cancer survivors live in areas where exercise programs specifically designed for their needs are hard to find or access. This treatment is designed to bridge that gap by training local fitness professionals and creating exercise programs that can be delivered in-person or online, so that all cancer survivors—no matter where they live—can benefit from this supportive care.

You would attend group exercise classes twice a week for 12 weeks. Before you start, the study team will make sure exercise is safe for you based on your cancer history and current health. The classes can be held in your community with a trained fitness professional, or delivered online if that works better for you. A fitness professional trained in cancer-specific exercise will lead the sessions and make sure you're supported throughout the program.
