Born on the west side of Los Angeles in 2004, Hoopnotica is the hot new trend in group fitness that is revolutionizing the way Angelenos “work out”. Just as much fun as the “hula hooping” you knew as a kid, but utilizing weighted fitness hoops and rhythmic movements, Hoopnotica is surprisingly easy to learn and impossible to put down.
Over the past few years, it seems like hooping is everywhere. Why? Because its FUN. And who doesn’t want a fun, inexpensive way to look great and “get your cardio in”? Once you’ve mastered the basics like hip hooping and halos (moving the hoop around your hand), you’ll be ready to start putting the moves together for an experience we call Hoopnotica.
Hoopnotica is a state of being; training your body to control the hoop as it revolves around your body. In learning these movements, you create a space in the world that is uniquely yours; a vortex spinning energy created and maintained by your core strength. The stress of the day begins to melt away as you lose the ability to focus on anything other than keeping the hoop up! In doing so, you are strengthening your core and burning up to 600 calories per hour! Would you believe that hooping can burn as much as running a marathon? We didn’t, and you probably won’t be thinking about anything of the sort as you spin and laugh and wonder why you didn’t think of this sooner. Sound like fun? We agree!
Our CEO had so much fun that she hooped herself down over 60 pounds! This experience led Gabriella to want to share her love of Hoopnotica with the world. Today, Hoopnotica is available in 13 different languages and in over 30 countries. We have trained instructors all over the world, and our students rave about the fun they have in the hoop, and the exciting changes they see in their bodies.
