Refurbished Fitness Equipment: Hoopnotica Fitness Travel Hoop Combo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I definitely recommend this hoop. After reading about the ones with knobs in them actually being painful for people, I saw this one. It's not only pretty, it's big enough, and has enough weight to it to give you a good workout. I am so excited about it I plan to give a couple away to my friends as gifts. I hoop to music or watching tv. I am totally new to hooping but tried a cheap plastic one from Wal Mart and it is much harder to use because it's so light and not the right size for an adult. I never hooped well as a child but this one has some kind of foam grips and gold tape swirled in, making it "stick" better to keep the hoop up. Use it on your bare abs, it's easier and not at all painful. Also, i bought it off of Hoopnotica's website for like $30 and they have other really nice ones for closer to $50 (but this and the teal are the only "travel" ones and the least pricey). My only complaint is it is definitely not easy to take apart which annoyed me. Part of why I bought it is because you can take it apart. Still, I have a lot fun using it!

Addendum 9/10/09 - I purchased the "new and improved" travel hoop from Hoopnotica's website and it is much easier to take apart. And, I asked for a discount for it since I had bought the other one and it was too difficult to take apart and now had to get this new one. They gave me the discount. I buy from their website, not amazon, because they have a much bigger selection of hoops to choose from.
