Fit & Strong! 

Are you interested in becoming "fit and strong" in the new year? If so, we will be hosting Fit & Strong!, an award-winning, evidence-based physical activity program for persons aged 55 and older with osteoarthritis and / or lower limb joint stiffness. 

The Fit & Strong! program combines flexibility, strength training and light aerobic exercise with health education to achieve sustained behavior change among older adults who have lower extremity osteoarthritis and / or lower limb joint stiffness.  Classes are led by a team of RSVP volunteers, trained by the University of Illinois at Chicago. 

Fit & Strong! is the only one of its kind in New Jersey.  Participants can expect the following benefits:

• reduced lower extremity joint stiffness
• decreased lower extremity joint pain
• increased adherence to physical activity
• improved self-efficacy for exercise, and
• improved aerobic capacity

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 11:30 AM - 1 PM:  January 6 - March 4

No classes on  January 20 (MLK, Jr. Day) and February 17 (Presidents' Day observed)
