Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Multimodal Prehabilitation Program

Pretreatment exercise program and nutrition program

-The prehabilitation intervention will include the following components: (1) a standardized fitness program and (2) nutritional counseling and optimization. Patients are enrolled in the program within 8 weeks of being diagnosed and continued until operation

 Behavioral: Exercise Program
Participants will start the exercise program within 2 weeks of enrollment and will continue until surgery. This program will consist of twice weekly individualized sessions with a trainer.

Behavioral: Nutrition Program
Each patient enrolled will undergo nutritional assessment at their initial post-enrollment visit to develop an individualized nutrition plan to be implemented up until when the patient undergoes surgery.
