What size hula hoop should you get? Are weighted hula hoops best?  

The most common problem beginner hoopers have is choosing the right hula hoop size for their particular purpose. 

If you are a beginner looking for yourself or another, this hoop chooser will spin you to the most perfect hula hoop for you!

After 20+ years of handcrafting thousands of hula hoops, I’ve created for you the ultimate hula hoop buyer’s guide for choosing the right size hula hoop with the right weight. Read on to discover the best hula hoop for you.


The best hula hoop for beginners is a weighted hula hoop. 

To learn how to hula hoop, choose a bigger and heavier hoop that spins slower, giving you more time to connect with it. 

But you don't want your hoop to be too be heavy or it may hurt your body, especially if you are new to hula hooping. Think about it - would you go heavy duty with any kind of new workout? Hula hoops over 1kg/2lbs are not our recommendation. 

All of our hoops are weighted in the manufacturing process for the best results and the ultimate hooping experience. We base our weights on what works best for different people with different hoop goals. Generally speaking, most people who want to hoop on their body prefer a heavier hoop.

We've recently revamped our collection to provide you with a simpler and more eco-friendly hoop selection process. Our dance hoops, glam hoops and weighted fitness hoops are all made with recycled plastic and ship worldwide in a box. They coil, fold and pop back into perfect shape for smooth and successful hooping. These hula hoops do not break, they come with a 5 year warranty and 3 FREE video lessons to teach you how to hula hoop.
