How It Works

Exercise isn’t exercise when it’s fun…

The benefits of exercising after treatment for breast cancer are way more than fitness – improved mobility, better posture, more energy and often boosted confidence.

In the Pink provides a safe, caring environment where every woman trusts that our teachers will guide them back onto the road of physical fitness – even those who didn’t like exercise before!

And as every In the Pink runs with a maximum of 10 participants, our teachers really get to know those who take part – and where we can help with their individual physical recovery. 

It’s more than an exercise class, and that’s why we call it a programme.  Every element of the course has been developed – by research, training or by our own experience – to contribute to an improvement in wellness.

Its Pilates-based, gentle exercises are proven to improve muscle strength across the back and shoulders, areas often affected by treatment, as well as building core strength which improves posture.

Every programme is different, but may also include tai chi, Nordic walking, African drumming – and even belly dancing – presented by experienced and inspiring guest teachers. 

Exercise isn’t hard work when it’s fun, which is why these activities are key to what we do – they’re not just great for physical fitness but bring laughter and new confidence back into the lives of survivors.

And while we concentrate on physical activity, it’s often the unseen benefits to people’s mental health that are most life-changing, which is why some programme’s include mindfulness and meditation.

Breast cancer changes the shape of women’s bodies. With our help, it doesn’t have to shape their lives.
