Our story began in a small class in Hollywood, with an overbooked and exquisite cirque performer named Hoopnotica. We worked together to completely redesign her program, and in doing so, created a community phenomenon much bigger and more exciting than any of us had envisioned. We named ourselves after our first instructor and inspiration.
Hoopnotica was born out of the ashes in 2006, and has risen to become the largest distributor of fitness hoops in the world. Our unique style of playful exercise, and beautiful technique brings people together in laughter and joy. Hoopnotica is not your kid’s hula hoop! Though, soon you will be spinning and sweating and smiling and trying to remember why you ever stopped playing with hoops in the first place.

Hoop in hand, we twirled, spun, haloed, and barrel rolled. And then, some strange things began to happen…

We began getting really, really good. We were amazing! So were all of our friends.
Well-known celebrities began attending our classes.
Reporters were fascinated, and wrote about us.
We lost weight (a lot of it!). Our bodies got toned.
We hooped through pregnancies.
Reporters were still fascinated, and we made a lot of trips to New York (with our Travelhoops!).
We taught our children to hoop (and some of them surpassed us!).
Hoopers popped up all over the world, and we sold more and more hoops.
Hoopnotica DVDs have been translated into 13 different languages.
We are big in Japan.
Life is good…but we like it better in a hoop!
