Washington Township Recreation Ushers in Autumn with the Return of “Stand Strong” and “Sit Strong”

Washington Township Recreation is welcoming the crisp, colorful days of autumn with the seasonal return of its popular Stand Strong and Sit Strong Strength & Balance programs. After strong community turnout and enthusiastic reviews, both classes are back to help residents move into fall feeling grounded, energized, and supported. Each program runs as an 8‑week session.

Stand Strong offers a series of gentle body‑weight movements and light dumbbell exercises designed to build core stability, improve balance, and strengthen major muscle groups. Tailored especially for older adults and those easing back into a fitness routine, the class focuses on posture, mobility, and steady, confident movement.  This session meets on Mondays, September 21–November 9, 2026, 12:30–1:15 PM. Canes, walkers, and sitting are not permitted; a doctor’s note may be required.

Sit Strong provides a fun, low‑impact workout performed entirely from a seated position, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to increase flexibility, strength, and circulation without added pressure on the joints. Returning by popular demand, this class meets Wednesdays, September 23 through November 18, 2026, from 11:30 AM–12:15 PM.

All classes are held at the Washington Township Community Center, 35 E. Springtown Rd., Long Valley, NJ.  A non‑refundable fee is due by September 16, 2026. A $25 late fee applies after that date, and registration closes once the session begins.
