How to check the type of a AnyObject cell?

I have a UITableView and I implemented a UILongPressGestureRecognizer to it. When you long press a cell, it calls a function called handleLongPress.

func handleLongPress(sender:AnyObject){

}

The problem is, there are several types of UITableViewCells in my UITableView so I need to know what kind of cell is long clicked. An example of my custom cell:

import UIKit

class ProfileTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {

    @IBOutlet weak var ivProfile: UIImageView!
    @IBOutlet weak var tvName: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var tvEmail: UILabel!

    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()
        // Initialization code
    }

    override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
        super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)

        // Configure the view for the selected state
    }

}

I tried this:

if sender is ProfileTableViewCell{
            print("Long Clicked!")
        }

And this:

if let mType = sender as? ProfileTableViewCell{
            print("Long Clicked!")
        }

None of these work. How do I check the type of cell ?

Edit: This is how assign the gesture recognizer:

let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("profileCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! ProfileTableViewCell

longPress = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(ProfileTableViewController.handleLongPress(_:)))
longPress.minimumPressDuration = 0.5
longPress.delaysTouchesBegan = true
longPress.delegate = self
cell.addGestureRecognizer(longPress)

So everything else seems fine, just change your handler as such:

func handleLongPress(sender: UIGestureRecognizer) {
    switch sender.view {
    case is ProfileTableViewCell: print("Is a ProfileTableViewCell")
    default: print("Is not.")
    }
}
