As fitness instructors and hooping enthusiasts, we know people are always looking for fun new ways to exercise. Hooping is one of the emerging fitness trends sweeping the country - and it can be done as a separate class or integrated into other workout programs!

The American Council of Exercise commissioned a study using a hoop fitness workout program designed by Mary Pulak, founder of Hooked on Hooping. The hooping program delivered a total-body workout that improved flexibility and balance while strengthening the back, abdominals, arm, and leg muscles," says Cedric X. Bryant, PhD, chief scientific officer of ACE. The study also showed the workout burned about as many calories per minute as step aerobics, boot camp, or a very brisk walk.

Hooked on Hooping provides "Hoop Fitness Fusion" Instructor Training." It is a 6-hour training program offered to hooping enthusiasts, physical education teachers, fitness instructors, youth centers and workout facilities. It  instructs you on how to mesh basic hooping skills with fitness exercises and dance movement to create an exciting low-impact, high cardio workout program using our custom designed weighted hula hoops for people of all ages. It also presents additional fun activities that can be used for special events.

We provide trainings throughout the year in the Green Bay, Wisconsin area. We will travel to other locations provided there are at least 10 participants. Travel costs are additional.
