Merrick Road Fitness Studio Keeps Women Looking Fabulous

The Fabulous Place is located at 2578 Merrick Road.

With the holiday season approaching, ladies may be looking for ways to keep off unwanted pounds. The Fabulous Place in Bellmore's variety of fitness classes and services can do just that. Here are five things you should know about The Fabulous Place:

1. It's new to the community: The Fabulous Place opened on Merrick Road in September. The fitness center is part of the Be Fabulous Foundation, a non-profit wellness company that offers fitness classes and services. "Proceeds from the foundation go toward free health classes and seminars," CEO Darlene Smith said. 

2. The studio offers a variety of classes: Women can keep fit with a number of different exercises. "We offer Zumba, Ballet Barre, Piloxing, Pound Rockout Workout, Total Body and Boot Camp," Smith said. New clients are offered $20 unlimited classes for two consecutive weeks, including MELT.

3. It's a nonjudgmental zone: The fitness studio offers something for everyone. "There are classes for all levels," Smith said. "We cater to beginners and advanced."

4. Kiddies can join the fun: The Fabulous Place offers Zumba classes for children. "It keeps them healthy," Smith said. "Kids that exercise do better in school. I like to see kids moving." 

5. The studio offers The MELT Method: The MELT Method is a mild stretch release self treatment that uses a foam roller and soft balls to rehydrate connective tissues to alleviate pain and inflammation. "We offer workshops monthly for people who are in pain, have arthritis or just want to feel better and the results are immediate," Smith said. "We are the first ones out here who are really doing it."
