Phyt Cares is the minority and woman-led 501c3 U.S. tax-exempt and 1101.01 Puerto Rico tax-exempt (Child Eradication of Poverty [CECFL]) arm of Phyt Gym founded by Jonas Serrano and co-founded by Elana Margulies-Snyderman that educates youth and communities through fitness in New York City & Puerto Rico and also empowers entrepreneurs on the Island.

Due to the generous support from global alternative investment/financial services professionals and Act 60 recipients in Puerto Rico, we have been instrumental in touching the lives of hundreds of individuals in the New York City area and Puerto Rico.

In the New York City area, we are proud to partner with the following groups where we provide weekly fitness programs:  Kool Kids Passaic (NJ), a Jewish community organization for youth with special needs; YAI, a non-profit for young adults with special needs; and students at Issac Newton Middle School in East Harlem.

In Puerto Rico, Phyt Cares has also been instrumental in creating employment and empowering young entrepreneurs by giving them a platform to run and grow their businesses including Team SMC (a woman-owned fitness brand that hosts community workouts at Phyt Gym and other fitness events), Christianson (restaurant/bar); Motus Rehab PR (physical therapy); Body Art Gallery and more. 

Phyt Cares is extremely proud that nearly all the money raised goes directly to the communities we serve since we don't have any full-time employees. 

On behalf of Jonas, Elana and our entire Board of Directors, from the bottom of our hearts, we wanted to thank you for your support.
