ABOUT US
In 2008 our daughter Korina had achieved an amazing personal goal, losing 25kgs through the Weight Watchers programme. To maintain and keep her fitness levels, she explored hooping, having been told that this was a great form of exercise, and that it would help trim her waistline, and tighten her tummy. Following the birth of her two children this was great news, she was looking for something to help her lose the mummy tummy.
She traveled around to a number of outlets, but to only find small thin child sized hoops. Not large or heavy enough to do the job, so she approached us to see if we could help. My husband made a hoop and away she went. We were surprised to learn that in the next 3 weeks she had trimmed another ½ cm off her waistline, and having fun do it.
We researched hula hooping online and found it was fast growing around the world, but this time as a fitness and dance workout. It was still a secret here in NZ.
We registered hulahoops.co.nz and began manufacturing hoops locally here in Christchurch. Our business In2hula, sells hoops all around New Zealand.
The next step was to offer hula hoop classes. We now run hoop classes in Christchurch. We teach new beginners to hooping, to the more advanced who wants to learn tricks.
We have enjoyed for nearly 4 years introducing many people around New Zealand to this fun way of keeping fit. It appeals to all ages. We encourage people to hoop for 15-20 minutes 3 times a week.
The Benefits: Trims the waistline, Tightens the tummy, Strengthens the core, helps balance, good cardio workout, great for emotional wellbeing (helps stress levels), promotes laughter (great for releasing endorphins).
In 2009 we set a NZ hooping record and are involved with a number of charity events.
In2hula hoop for functions has now launched. Promoting hooping for schools, after school programmes, workplace workshops, conferences, & parties
