NY Sportek Opens in Forest Hills

Dov Medina, an owner of a successful gym in Israel, brings his skills as a personal trainer to the Forest Hills Jewish Center with the opening of NY Sportek, a sports center that offers youth and adults fitness classes.

Already the owner of a successful gym overseas, Dov Medina wanted to bring his knowledge as a personal trainer to the New York City area for the first time. "I built a gym in Israel," Medina says. "Now, I am trying to do the same thing over here. I think we are on the right track." 

Working in the gym environment since he was 18, Medina opened NY Sportek sports center in the heart of Forest Hills as a part of the Forest Hills Jewish Center. The sports center offers youth basketball for ages 5-14 and a variety of yoga and total-body fitness classes for kids and adults. Within the last few months, NY Sportek also began offering Zumba classes.
