The newest business to invade Bedford Avenue is Crossfit Invasion, which hosted a ribbon cutting on Friday afternoon.
The workout facility opened on March 1, and Owner Michael Tullo, a resident of Wantagh, said business is doing well in Bellmore.
"The neighborhood's been great, as has business," Tullo said. "A lot of people are coming in off the street, and a lot of family and friends have been joining. "We're doing very well."
Tullo said Crossfit can be for anyone, and the professionals take their time to get to know each subject before designing a workout program specific to their needs.
"Crossfit is a constantly varying, high-intensity functional movement type of workout," Tullo said. "It's changing every day. You'll never come to the gym and do the same workout twice."
A common misconception with Crossfit, Tullo said, is that it's too advanced for those who haven't done it before.
"Everybody comes in for their free assessment," Tullo added. "They go through a full-body assessment. We evaluate their skill level, their flexibility level, their movements, their diet and their body fat composition. We start them at a basic training level."
