Hockomock Area YMCA Announces LIVESTRONG at the YMCA classes starting in January
Since 2010, The Hockomock Area YMCA has been facilitating the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program and they are pleased to announce new classes for 2019.
LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a free 12-week program designed for cancer survivors and their families seeking to regain health, build strength, and connect with other cancer survivors. Our goal is to help participants build muscle mass and muscle strength, increase flexibility and endurance, and improve functional ability. Certified YMCA fitness instructors give personal individualized instruction and are trained in the elements of cancer, post rehab exercise, nutrition, and supportive cancer care.
New Classes Announced for LIVESTRONG at the YMCA at the Hockomock Y in January:
Bernon Family (Franklin) Branch
45 Forge Hill Road
Franklin, MA
Day and Time: Monday and Wednesdays, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm beginning January 7th
Day and Time: Monday and Wednesday, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm, beginning on January 7th
Invensys Foxboro Branch

Foxboro, MA
Day and Time: Tuesday and Thursday, 10:30 am - 12:00 pm beginning January 8th
Day and Time: Tuesday and Thursday, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm beginning January 8th
North Attleboro Branch
300 Elmwood Street
North Attleboro, MA
Day and Time: Monday and Wednesday, 12:00 pm -1:30 pm beginning January 7th
A survivor is defined from the point of cancer diagnosis through the balance of his/her life. Are you a cancer survivor or know someone who is?
Cancer survivors are encouraged to visit www.hockymca.org/new-livestrong-classes or contact Jackie Robison, Program Coordinator at 508-772-1310 or JackieR@hockymca.org for more information and to enroll.
In 2010, the Hockomock Area YMCA was one of the first ten YMCAs in the country to launch this life changing initiative, partnering with the LIVESTRONG Foundation to help cancer survivors begin the journey toward recovery with the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program. On average, 120 participants graduate from the program annually at the Hockomock Area YMCA. A recent survey at the Hockomock Area YMCA found that ninety-nine percent of LIVESTRONG at the YMCA participants said that the atmosphere of the Y supports them in their pursuit of health and well-being.
Part of the Hockomock Y’s commitment to strengthening community through healthy living, the program offers adults affected by cancer a safe, supportive environment to participate in physical and social activities focused on strengthening the whole person. The Hockomock Area YMCA is enrolling now for upcoming LIVESTRONG at the YMCA sessions at their branches in Foxboro, Franklin, and North Attleboro.

"Representatives from Foursquare Development LLC came to a public hearing on Monday to hear input about their newest project, the Home2 Suites Hilton Hotel on 725 Union St.
The 92,000-square-foot undeveloped property is located directly behind Joe’s American Bar & Grill. This would be the third Hilton Hotel in Franklin. The idea for the hotel is to accommodate extended-stay hotel visits.
Developers are seeking two special permits from the town. One is seeking to change the lot’s usage to accommodate hotels, and the other is to make sure that the hotel can be built up to 50 feet. The building is designed to have four stories and 100 rooms available.
There will be no restaurant or bar in the proposed hotel."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)
