I haven’t seen anything else like this on the market and have been waiting for something unique like this!
I’ve been looking for something different to try and motivate myself into getting fit. I prefer my own environment but tend to loose self-discipline when going through Youtube videos and sticking to them, so signing up to a course gave me that push to sign in regularly and DO IT!- just like attending an actual class. I joined its small intimate Facebook community group - a space to share experiences, struggles or celebratory moves achieved throughout the course. I loved seeing other peoples journeys too, it really makes you feel part of a hula hoop family!
I was nervous starting, having only bought a hula hoop last year during lockdown. I played with it a couple of times but never actually followed through and had thoughts that maybe I would struggle to keep up.
What I feel is important to feedback, is that I never felt pressured to know a move before moving onto the next session, the idea is that these skills are built upon overtime during the course so that its gives you the opportunity to learn at your own pace without panicking on time constraints. The skills are expanded and developed, which enable you to push yourself further when you feel ready to do so.
Beata the instructor is friendly, enthusiastic and an excellent motivator! She commentaries throughout the session, supporting your learning experience, always explaining, offering another ways to further your skills, whilst bringing you back to the very core of hula hooping so if you are a beginner you don’t feel lost or out of your depth, which I loved as it took time for me to learn some moves.
The sessions are built for all abilities, which ensures you can get the most out of them and so much fun (the use of themes and various styles of music are effective) and become addictive…and that’s a big thing coming from someone who gets bored quite quickly!
The value for money is exceptional. The course is broken down into: Warm-up, learn moves, dance & conditioning, which all cooperates the techniques/moves learnt throughout your journey on the course.
What I love about the course is that it’s not just about exercise, but about having fun and learning a new skill. You don’t have to be an exercise guru or have a fitness obsession to join, just the notion of wanting to learn a skill, and it just so happens to keep you fit and toned too! Bonus!
Having finished the course, I feel like a queen hula hooper (laughs) but I still have a long way to go! I will definitely be revisiting the course from the beginning over and over again!
