OUR COMMUNITY:
COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH & FITNESS
At the Y, there are so many ways to become healthier. Since a supportive community is a big part of wellness, we can connect you to group classes or partner you with a personal trainer to set up an individual wellness program. At every age and every level of activity, you’ll find people looking to live healthier.

Free First Step
Free fitness evaluations, equipment orientations, and coaching sessions to get you started on your healthy living journey at the Y.
Sports and Recreation
Activities of all kinds happen at the Y all the time. From pick-up basketball and running groups to gymnastics or sports leagues, such as pickleball and volleyball, the Y provides opportunities to connect with friends for fun and exercise.
Active Older Adults
Our YMCA has a thriving community of active older adults who make the Y and physical activity an important part of their healthy lifestyle. We offer a variety of activities in a welcoming environment that enhance quality of life.
Fitness is essential for staying mobile and active, and a well-rounded fitness program can reduce age-related changes by keeping muscles and bones strong, improving cognition and reducing the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Fitness also contributes to increased self-worth, independence, and happiness. We offer walking clubs, individualized wellness center orientations, pickleball, volunteerism opportuntities and dozens of exercise classes for active older adults.
Health Management
Our supportive, small group physical activity programs are making a positive difference in the lives of individuals diagnosed with or at risk of a chronic disease. We provide support programs that address specific challenges associated with diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and MS. Because we partner with the medical community, individuals can be referred into our health management program by their doctors.

Member Benefit & Drop-In Classes
A Y membership means you can attend a variety of classes and programs with no additional registration fee. Our Member benefit classes are included in your membership. Many of these classes are scheduled at the most convenient times of the day. Most of our Group Exercise classes are drop-in, which means you show up whenever you can make it. For our most popular Member Benefit classes, you may need to reserve a spot by signing up.
FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Families with children need all the support they can get, to nurture their kids while creating time for their own enjoyment. The Y offers resources and conveniences for families, making it easier to manage a healthy lifestyle.
Child Watch and Kid’s Club
Besides our many programs for children, we also provide child supervision for up to 2 hours while you work out. These two quality programs – Child Watch and Kids’ Club – let you take time for yourself while your children experience their own fun. We’ll make sure they’re learning and exploring while mom or dad enjoy the Y.(Free for single parent and family type memberships. Non-family type memberships pay a fee).
Preschool and Afterschool Care
As a national leader in Youth Development, the Y is uniquely equipped to provide child care and afterschool programs for kids. Not only do we have our own Children’s Center that provides all-day Child Care for preschool kids, we also partner with local schools to offer afterschool programs as well as School Break Camps, so that kids have a great place to go when school is out.
Friends & Family Time
We host free family events throughout the year to connect your family as well as other Y families in our communities. From story times, special arts and crafts to free events such as Breakfast with the Bunny, Spooky Games, or Winter Wonderland, our family events and programs delight and strengthen families. There is so much to do at the Y to connect others.
MORE THAN JUST A GYM
The Y is a nonprofit service organization and has been Strenghening the Foundations of Community for over 150 years. Our members choose and carry out a deep commitment to social responsibility, and there are many ways to get involved at the Y.
Volunteer & Community Service
The Y is a nationally recognized nonprofit, and our members are involved in vital work in the community. Our thriving volunteer and service opportunities are available for all ages, incorporating youth and teens as well as families and seniors.
Community Initiatives
Reflecting our commitment to social responsibility, our Community Initiatives represent sustained effort by our Y to raise funds and awareness to deal with important community concerns. For example, our Prescriptions for Healthy Lifestyles Initiative helps support individuals suffering from diseases such as cancer, and we raise funds to defray the cost of participation.
Confidential Financial Assistance
The Y is committed to serving every member of the community, regardless of ability to pay. The Hockomock Area YMCA provides completely confidential financial assistance for those in need.
ACROSS THE NATION
When you join the YMCA, you become part of a national movement of more than 20 million members in over 2,700 local YMCA Associations, and you Hockomock Area YMCA membership grants you access to almost all of them. Because each Y is an autonomous, not-for-profit organization (and not a franchise), local Y policies may vary on the use of equipment, types of facilities, services and programs. When visiting a YMCA away from home, you’ll see that local YMCAs have grown to meet the specific needs of their communities.
The Away Program
The Hockomock Area YMCA participates in the A.W.A.Y. program (Always Welcome at YMCAs). Members can visit other participating YMCAs across the country for little or no fee by showing their photo membership card. Members of other YMCAs outside of New England may use the Hockomock Area YMCA facilities free for up to 12 visits per year by showing a current YMCA membership card.
My Y is every Y in New England
All YMCA members from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont are welcome free of charge, with their current YMCA ID card anywhere in New England. The program is for full facility/full privilege Y members (those holding teen, young adult, adult, family, couple, senior memberships).
Members are required to use their home branch at least 50% of the time. Some Ys, such as the YMCA of Martha’s Vineyard, have seasonal blackout periods. A small group of Ys have restrictions based upon their business needs (i.e. usage at particular times of day due to parking issues). We recommend members check the individual Y’s website before visiting. See ymca.net for a complete listing of all Ys.
