I have been living in this community all my life and they fixed up this building and renamed it. They don't like to incorporate the community. I had a member once with my nieces daycare and later in the years they started this sign up for your family but everyone pays. I had to give up my personal information to a social worker in order to receive this opportunity. They did not say there was any ending, oh yeah the once lost my application and I had to wait until someone got to me. When I ended in and then didn't want my daughter to join even after it was Sai "family ". The cut me off in 2024 after I inquired about payments just to find out they stopped payments because the program ended and other people need to be given a chance. If it's a program what's the difference, they still getting paid and everyone doesn't come at the same time. The owner is very voicetress and shuts your conversation down. The community really needs to benefit from this program. Everything isvexpensive!

If I could give this place no star I would. I had my son in their 3K program he got injured twice under their care. One incident I had to leave work early to take my son to the ER which my son was lefted with a big bump black and blue in the middle of his face, and the school did nothing about it. And this incident happen from my kid playing in the park. They are very careless my son had like five different teacher throughout the school year. The security guards except for the supervisor are all rude and gossipy. And the assistant director Martha Lee is the most racist, non kid friendly only if your kid is white she likes you, nonchalant and unprofessional BIG BACK I ever met, not even cute with an attitude like that. Like stay humble Martha. She should not be working in this career even a lot of people in the offices want her out. I have been told ha ha ha. Shout out to Tiana, Christopher, Lucy and Oliver for always getting me through with just your positive energy. You fantastic four should get together and run this program. I even try to set up the meeting with the director Jamie who acts like she is too busy to talk to you or even respond to your email, which is so unprofessional. Don’t send your kid here if you do not want them injured. They really need to do better. I’m so happy my son goes to a better school this year never no problems in this school I had two other children who graduated from. Any concern parents seriously don’t send your three year old here.

Manny Cantor Center is a great neighborhood gym. There are always cardio machines available and enough equipment to get a good workout. Ricardo is a GREAT personal trainer and I have heard positive reviews on other trainers as well. I have been a member since the gym opened and have always found the staff pleasant and helpful. I also love the big windows and natural light. There are not many gyms in NYC that have that.

I'm happy that they are increasing their hours this fall as I felt that was their one BIG shortcoming. I still wish they would open earlier than 9am on the weekends. Hopefully this is something they can consider in the future.

This is a great local gym with pleasant, dedicated staff. It has all the equipment you need -- the same as a big-name gym but with a more intimate feel. Plenty of cardio and free weights, a Smith machine and other assorted lifting machines. It's clean, the locker room is nice, and the price is right for sure.

Went here for the first time after hearing about the Talent is Timeless Talent Show and am so grateful that we have places like this in our city ! Everyone that works here was smiling , caring and helpful . I met a volunteer named Liz in the elevator too. She’s been giving her time here for a while and really enjoys it because of the people . They have so much to offer here especially if you are 60 and older . This in addition to a family resource center , art classes , meals , clothing you name it . It’s a large building that they are still able to keep and tidy which is very impressive . Go see this place no matter your age . There’s something there for you .

The place is reasonable clean people there are nice but theres just not much equipments there. Most of their machine are kinda old and a bit worn down. Not much classes and most of times classes would get canceled. The hours are shortest out of all the gyms in the area. Monday-Thrusday 7am-8pm, Friday’s ends at 7, and weekends hours are even worse it opens at 9am and closes at 3pm. Before Covid the gym was never like this. There used to much more equipment and classes but right now this place has just become a joke. And from speaking to one of the managers (Michelle)there, the gym will not be getting any new equipments or willing to extend their hours until September and that’s just a maybe and from what I hear their hours will only be extended a half hour more. This used to be a pretty good gym to go to but not anymore. For what you paid ($70 per month) you’re better off going somewhere else around the area with better hours newer equipments and much more classes. I speak to a lot of the members there and they all complain about the same issues. Summer is right around the corner and still, knowing this management is still not willing to work in the best interests of their members. Until they fix these issues this place is absolutely not worth it at all. I’m very disappointed. My advice to people that are planning to join is that they should wait til after September when summer ends and don’t do a yearly contract this way you can cancel any time.

Can’t complaint about the gym. Good people and equipment. Always clean and a lots of space for everyone.
The only thing I don’t understand is why people in the lobby should still wear a mask. What’s the point because you don’t use it in the gym.
