Empowering Medical and Fitness Professionals: Pioneering Exercise Solutions in Cancer Care.
Welcome to The Cancer Exercise Training Institute, where we bridge the gap between oncology and exercise science. As a leading authority in cancer and aging exercise education, we empower oncologists, nurses, clinic directors, physical therapy teams, health clubs, community fitness centers and non-profits to revolutionize patient care with specialized fitness programs.
Addressing the Urgent Need
With millions diagnosed with cancer and chronic health issues annually, there’s a profound need for tailored exercise interventions. Our programs are designed to address this gap, providing essential tools for improving patient health and vitality during and after medical treatment.
Why Exercise Matters in Oncology
Recognizing “Exercise as Medicine,” we emphasize physical activity as a crucial component in cancer care. Our evidence-based approach aims to:
• Enhance overall health and reduce cancer risk factors.
• Support patients throughout treatment, alleviating side effects.
• Minimize recurrence risks, and improve life quality post-treatment.

What Our Graduates & Students Say
Frank McKenna, Cancer Exercise Specialist
Hear from Frank about his work as a Cancer Exercise Specialist.
"Thank you for all your hard work and effort that you put in to make this course, as well as to continually keep it up to date. I've taken MANY certificates in various niches over the years and this is BY FAR the most detailed and helpful course"
Stefanie Callens, Cancer Exercise Specialist
"The CES training was absolutely superb and I genuinely enjoyed each and every moment of it. The content was extremely informative and incredibly useful. I have attended several trainings before but I can't recall any of them having such a strong impact. The material was well-organized and interesting and the discussions were truly inspiring. I particularly enjoyed the visual illustrations, which made the content easily understandable. Each presentation was recorded giving participants the ability to review them as necessary. This is invaluable!
Any information offered by some of the more seasoned attendees was made available to everyone. We received not only course content but so much more from our peers. This was a definite plus.
I am a Pilates personal trainer, training clients on Pilates apparatus. My clients are referred to me by physical therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, etc. and are pre/post spinal surgery, knee replacement, hip replacement, cancer survivors, etc. The content of each unit was without question personally and professionally relevant, interesting, useful, and meaningful."
