Leading Franchisor of Health and Wellness
Brands to Raise Awareness, Donations for Cancer Patients and
Survivors in Studios Across the Country
According to the American Cancer Society's Cancer Facts &
Figures, 2024, it is estimated more than 2 million new cases of
cancer will be diagnosed in the United States, and more than
600,000 people will die from the disease this year. This June,
Xponential Fitness, a leading global franchisor of health and
wellness brands, is collaborating with the American Cancer Society
(ACS) for National Cancer Survivors Month, raising awareness and
donations to aid research, advocacy, and patient support so that
everyone has an opportunity to detect, treat and survive
cancer.
Throughout June, Xponential’s portfolio of brands, including
Club Pilates, Pure Barre, StretchLab, CycleBar, YogaSix, Rumble
Boxing, BFT, and AKT, will be offering donation-based classes for
the American Cancer Society as well as co-branded retail, from
which proceeds will go to research, treatment, and resources for
cancer patients. The brands will also raise awareness for the ACS’s
noble cause through social media and blog content spotlighting
cancer patients, survivors, and education all month long. To make a
donation to the ACS through any of the Xponential brands, visit

“Fighting cancer is an incredibly important cause to the
Xponential family,” said Sarah Luna, President of Xponential
Fitness. “Thousands of our members and studio teams are impacted by
this awful disease every year, and by combining efforts with a
great organization like the American Cancer Society, we can make a
positive difference in these people’s lives.”
With a majority of Xponential’s brands spanning numerous
modalities of exercise, the company is passionate about supporting
the world’s leading cancer-fighting organization. Physical activity
is proven to reduce the risks of chronic diseases, including
cancer, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services. Xponential’s workouts, which include Pilates, barre,
indoor cycling, yoga, and strength training, can help members
achieve the 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic
activity and 75 to 100 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity that
are recommended each week for optimal physical health and could
help prevent chronic illness.
Physical activity also packs immense benefits for those
currently battling or recovering from cancer. Not only can exercise
improve cardiovascular health and lean muscle mass, it can also
help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and group classes like
those offered across Xponential’s studios can offer a community of
members and friends to lean on for social support.
Tarik Ceric, a melanoma cancer survivor, can attest to the
benefits of exercise firsthand. In 2019, at age 24, Ceric was
diagnosed with the disease and eventually had surgery to remove
several lymph nodes in his neck, followed by chemotherapy and
immunotherapy. Side effects included fatigue, skin problems, and
what he calls “mental fog,” as well as feelings of depression and
loneliness. That’s when he turned to physical exercise and saw a
drastic positive change in his well-being.
“Fitness has always been my route toward health and relieving
anxiety,” said Ceric. “I like working out with other people and
helping them with their health. Fitness and health have always been
my therapy.”
