how to play

To receive an entry ticket, you must complete the day's plank challenge in front of a Fitness Center staff member who will monitor you while you plank in a designated plank station. To plank, lay on the floor with your elbows under your shoulders, hands flat on the floor and core engaged. Keeping your forearms and knees on the floor, slowly raise yourself upwards until your body is in a straight line from your knees to your head. Hold the position for as long as that day's challenge requires. If needed, the plank position can be modified to a push up position with your arms full extended. Participants can complete only 1 plank challenge per day and receive only 1 entry ticket per successful completion.

In order to be entered, submit your entry tickets with your name and contact information in our drawing located at both the Berkeley Heights YMCA Fitness Center Desk & Summit YMCA Front Desk. Submissions must be legible or the entry ticket will be disqualified.

BERKELEY HEIGHTS YMCA | SUMMIT YMCA | THE LEARNING CIRCLE YMCA

In 1886, we were founded as the Young Men's Christian Association, but today, we are The Y. An association that values, and is made stronger by, its diverse people. We stand for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility — For a better us. We are committed to creating equal opportunity for all regardless of gender, age, disability, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious affiliation. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive culture in which our four core values — responsibility, honesty, caring and respect — are integral to everyday operations.

Each year, as one of the area’s leading 501(c)3 charitable organizations, the Summit Area YMCA serves more than 15,000 individuals with our free and fee-based programs and services in an area spanning the New Jersey communities of Berkeley Heights, Gillette, Millburn, New Providence, Short Hills, Springfield, Stirling and Summit. Our history is rooted in working side-by-side with our neighbors to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Through the generosity of our members, donors, and partners, we are able to offer financial assistance for our programs and services to those in need.
