“Training with KBPT during my cancer journey helped me stay physically strong and feel better mentally”  Sarah, Bethnal Green

What is Cancer Recovery Training?

We work with you to create a personal training plan that you can follow during cancer treatment and as you move forward. At such a challenging time, our KBPT trainers will focus on both your physical recovery and your mental wellbeing. We know you might not want to train in a gym or outdoors if your immune system is low, don’t worry, we can train you in your own home or online also.

Why is exercise good for you during and after cancer?

There are no general UK guidelines about this but several studies have shown that exercise is safe and helpful for many people with cancer. Please check with your doctor before starting any physical exercise. The benefits of following a cancer recovery programme with our personal trainers include:

  • Prehabilitation (exercise before surgery) can improve post-op outcomes and reduce recovery time. Patients who exercised before surgery had up to 50% shorter hospital stays in colorectal and breast cancer studies.
  • Studies show that people who exercise regularly during chemotheraphy or radiation therapy report fewer side effects like fatigue, nausea and loss of strength, helping them complete more of their planned treatment cycles.
  • Physical activity has been linked to better mental health, reduced anxiety and depression and improved self-esteem among cancer patients and survivors.
  • Support at every stage of your cancer journey – before, during and after treatment
  • Helping you to feel better and able to enjoy a better quality of life
  • Regaining confidence
  • Speeding up recovery after your treatment
  • Reducing stress and giving you more energy
  • Lifting your mood so you feel less anxious or depressed
  • Reducing fatigue – regular exercise can help to combat tiredness and feeling weak
  • Supporting you after surgery
  • Improving circulation and lymphatic flow
  • Boosting immune function
  • Rebuilding muscle and joint strength
  • Managing weight safely
  • Reducing risk of recurrence
  • Protecting you against osteoporosis

“I contacted Kate 2 years ago in the depths of despair following a gruelling couple of years of cancer treatment. I was weak, and afraid to even pick up a bin bag for fear of hurting myself. Kate hooked me up with the lovely Helen on her team, herself a cancer survivor. She’s been training me once a week since, mostly outdoors and I can happily report I’m now able to put the bins out, and so much more. Stronger, fitter, healthier, and mentally better too. Thanks KBPT!”

Yes, absolutely. Building strength, mobility and cardiovascular fitness before treatment can help you better tolerate side effects and support faster recovery afterwards. With guidance from a female personal trainer for cancer support, you’ll build a stronger foundation to face whatever lies ahead. 

We start with a relaxed phone or email chat where we learn about your diagnosis, treatment timeline, energy levels and goals. Then you’ll book a free consultation with Kate, KBPT’s Founder. If you’re ready to move forward, we’ll book your first session, go through payment options, and create a gentle, bespoke programme that works with your energy, not against it. 

In many cases, yes and it can really help. We provide safe exercise during cancer treatment, carefully tailored to how you’re feeling that day. Movement can reduce fatigue, lift your mood and help you feel more in control of your body. 

It depends on your situation. Usually, we don’t need medical clearance but if something is more complex, we may contact your consultant, nurse or physio. We’re always happy to work alongside your medical team to make sure your cancer recovery personal training is safe and supportive. 

That depends on your experience, energy levels and what your body needs. Your personal training after cancer treatment may include strength work, breathwork, mobility, light cardio, or restorative movement. It’s all about you and your recovery. 

Exercise can help with fatigue, anxiety, strength, flexibility, circulation, and overall wellbeing. Our one-on-one fitness coaching for cancer recovery is about rebuilding not just physical strength, but also your confidence and connection to your body. 

This totally depends on the complication or condition. We’ll work with you and your healthcare team if needed, to understand what’s safe. We’ll always adapt around medical devices or physical changes and your safety will always come first. 

This really depends on the individual. We’ll take guidance from your consultant, and it also depends on how your body heals. We’ll work with you to build a gradual post-surgery recovery plan so you can start moving again as soon and as safely as possible. 

Yes and we completely understand. Your female personal trainer for cancer support will meet you where you’re at. Some days might be gentle stretches or mobility; others, you’ll feel up to doing more. It’s all valid, and we’ll go at your pace. 

Absolutely. We offer personal training for cancer recovery at home or in your local North or East London park. We’ll bring the kit, adapt the session, and make sure you’re comfortable throughout. 

Yes – we offer one-on-one online fitness coaching for cancer recovery too. It’s a great option if you’re more comfortable training from home, especially during or after treatment. 

It’s entirely up to you. Many clients start with one session a week and gradually build up as they feel stronger. Your cancer recovery personal trainer in East London will help you find a rhythm that supports not overwhelms your recovery. 

Only if you want them. We can suggest gentle exercises or stretches to help boost your recovery and give you that little bit of extra movement between sessions but there’s no pressure at all. 

While we’re not therapists, we absolutely understand how challenging the emotional side of cancer recovery can be. Our KBPT trainers are kind, patient, and here to help you feel seen, supported and safe, physically and emotionally. 

We offer personal training for cancer recovery across North and East London, including: Bethnal Green, Cannonbury, Caledonian Road, Cambridge Heath, Clapton, Dalston, Finsbury Park, Forest Gate, Hackney, Hackney Wick, Haggerston, Highbury, Holloway, Homerton, Hoxton, Islington, Leyton, Leytonstone, London Fields, Maryland, Mile End, Shoreditch, Snaresbrook, Spitalfields, Stepney, Stoke Newington, Stratford, Victoria Park and Walthamstow.
