HOOP LESSONS/CLASSES:
Hooping is fast becoming a 'TREND' with health conscious women and men of all ages (yes men too!). The media has taken notice too boldly tagging Hula Hoop Fitness as the new yoga...we've been interviwed three times in the past year for TV and newsprint. Actually, we think it's simply uncomplicated, easy to learn fun, that is good for your body and mind! Come try a class and see for yourself what the HoopLa is about.
*If you read this and try at home with the neighbor's daugthers' hoop, you will most likely have a hard time...as an adult you need to use a hoop made for adults. HoopLaHoops are much larger than children's hoops which makes it much easier to keep up. We guarantee it!
"Hooping mit Rachel und Balazs ist absolut sensationell. Bin schwer begeistert und hab schon drei Freunde angeschleppt, die dem Hoopen jetzt auch verfallen sind! Endlich ein (Hochleistungs-) Sport der Riesenspaß macht.
Dazu nette Leute und tolle Musik, handverlesen. Kann ich nur wärmstens
weiterempfehlen. Für alle, denen Aerobic zu langweilig und Jogging zu
anspruchslos ist. HOOPLA!" C.Rusch
"I'm very happy with the HoopLa Hoop I bought 2 months ago. Since then I'm doing 15 minutes of hooping every morning after getting up... I think it has never been so easy for me to start a new habit. Originally I wanted to do it to loose a bit of weight, but now I mainly do it because it's fun and gives me energy!
So thank you :-)" Diana
"Tegnap éjjel 1-ig itt hoopoztam a szobámban, nagyokat fejlödök és nagyon de nagyon szeretem a hoopomat. ma reggel egy kicsit fájtak az izmaim derkéktájt, de este már ismét a tükör elött álltam és hoopztam. Az az érzésem a hoop is changing my life - it makes everything more fun! Kinga
