YMCA Hockomock

Great YMCA facility. A nice pool, with an area for kids. There’s also a steam room and sauna adjacent to the hot tub. A decent selection of elliptical and treadmills, as well as a machine and free weights section. Peak times seem to be before and after work, and can be difficult to find a treadmill.

1) Great space, clean, well maintained, safe and good location.
2) The staffs are very friendly and warm. The specialty of this place is all their smiles and never complaining customer service.
3) The group classes are great for the monthly fee.
4) The Membership is flexible (but has a joining fee associated).
5) The pools are wheelchair friendly with lifts.
6) The bathrooms are accessible and huge.
7) Lorraine Brue, the Zumba instructor was my magnet and she kept me loyal to my regular workouts
What could be improved:
1) The parking gets crowded quickly during evening hours of work days.

This is a really nice facility. One of the nicer Y’s out there. What I did not like about my visit there was on a Saturday the swimming pool was so crowded it was almost standing only. It reminded me of a public pool in Boston on a hot summer day. Even the gym is extremely crowded. What really bothered me about my visit was I forgot a Puddle Jumper (kids life jacket) in the family locker room. When I went back the next day it was gone. Someone stool a kids life jacket that even has my sons name on it. I have been to plenty of YMCA’s and never had anything stolen before. Make sure you bring a lock with you.

I was a member here for four months. Nice facility with new equipment. Staff is friendly and helpful. Steam room/​sauna is co-​ed which I am not a fan of, I prefer them in the locker rooms but I enjoyed them nonetheless. Hot tub and pool stay pretty clean with high tech UV germ killing system. I really enjoyed the Yoga and Spinning classes, the instructors were great at positive motivation. I only cancelled my membership after my lock was cut, my locker was broken into, and I was robbed. So beware, definitely use a lock and a sturdy one at that. Worth the monthly membership fee though, for sure!

All extremely friendly!

We have been members of the Hockomock YMCA in Franklin for the past 10 years and just found out that we can use our membership at the other locations in the Hockomock family!
Additionally, we heard that the pool at the Foxboro Y was fantastic so we checked it out! It was like a day at an indoor waterpark… fun slides and a few water features had my kids attentions for hours! With that said, we decided to have our daughter’s 10^th birthday pool party at the Foxboro Y.
Our daughter was so excited, she could hardly wait! The morning of her birthday we received a call from the party director that the Y lost power due to high winds and the pool was closed, but we could still have a crafts party… considering this was a mix or boys and girls, boys don’t like glitter. We had no choice. She said she would call if anything changed. We decided not to tell our daughter and see if anything changed.
Nothing changed… the power was on, but the pool didn’t have time to recover… crafts it was. The party director was so nice. She offered us a refund and free pool passes for our guests… as well as another pool party for my daughter. She was still crushed. We did our best with the crafts and snacks but the boys grew restless… then the Gods smiled on us, the pool was OPEN! We had an hour left… so we quickly changed these disappointed kids into their suits and SPLISH SPLASH! We were in business!
Long story short… the folks at the Y did an amazing job! All the staff did their very best to make our little girl’s day special, regardless of the set backs. No refunds needed! The kids had a blast and I am and will always be a fan of the Hockomock YMCA!

I just switched to this YMCA from the South Shore Y in Hanover, which was pretty much the best gym I’d ever been to. While nothing can really top that place, this one comes pretty damn close. The facility has been completely renovated and expanded in the past year, with a new pool and exercise facility. The aquatics center is open and bright, with a steam room, sauna, and jacuzzi that are always kept clean. The pool is always clean and at a perfect temperature. The only downsides to this place: they occasionally close the entire pool for swim lessons, some of the equipment in the fitness center is a little old, and they can be slow to fix things (like broken shower heads). But those are minor complaints, overall this facility is as good or better than any for-​profit gym you could find in the area… and here your membership fees go to a good cause! Highly recommended.
