    Objective:

    Primary:
    1. Aim I: To estimate a) enrollment rates among those who respond to notices about the study and b) adherence to the program among those who enroll. Further, we will c) describe reported barriers to participation among respondents who do not ultimately enroll.
    2. Aim II: In preparation for a definitive study, to estimate measures of functional performance and variability in functional performance among adult cancer survivors within 48 months of diagnosis enrolled in a high-intensity functional training program (CrossFit) at baseline at regular intervals during the study and at the conclusion of the program.
    3. Aim III: To estimate self-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and variability using the FACT questionnaire at baseline, at regular intervals throughout the pilot study and again at the end of the program.
    4. Aim IV: To estimate changes in weight, body fat percentage, visceral fat, body mass index, resting metabolism and skeletal muscle from baseline at the end of the program.
    5. Aim V: To assess qualitatively (a) motivation to exercise, (b) barriers to exercise, (c) expectations of the intervention, (d) emotional responses to exercise, and (e) satisfaction with the program, starting at baseline and continuing at regular intervals throughout the pilot study until the end of the program.
