“Loving my weekly Hoop Sparx classes. Plenty of support, guidance, creativity, fun, laughs, music and good vibes.”
– Elle
“I love that Donna works to make classes accessible regardless of experience and body type. The inclusive language used makes it easier to feel comfortable in the space, and her enthusiasm makes every attempt feel like a great success!
I typically feel nervous before class, but that disappears as soon as we get started, and by the end I’m feeling excited about whatever new skill I’ve picked up!”

HAVE FUN. GET FIT.
You’re invited to step into the circle. It’s time to spin up some joy, get moving and get your giggle on.
Hoop Sparx classes are the fun way to get fit!
You’ll learn the foundations of hula hooping before levelling up with all kinds of on and off-body tech, tricks, flow and combos.
Whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve been hooping for some time, we’ve got you covered.
It’s time to stop running around in circles and start spinning them!
WHY HOOPING IS SO POPULAR
It’s hard to believe that having this much fun counts as exercise. There are so many benefits – all you need to do is choose to come and play.
Give yourself a boost:
- Burn over 300 calories.
- Get your heart pumping.
- Powerful posture.
- Full body workout.
- Movement meditation.
- Mindfulness.
- Connect with the breath and body.
- Meet new people, make new friends.
- Become part of an inclusive, vibrant community.
- Learn to hoop and level up.
WARNING!!!
It’s addictive – once you start spinning, you might not be able to stop.
Be prepared to want to practise because it feels like play. The weekly class will become your portal to a space where you can let go, be yourself, unleash whatever is there in the moment and land back in your body. It is a time for you to do something just for you.
Hoop classes are also a great place to make new friends. Only hoopers get just as excited as you do when you finally nail a move you’ve been practising for weeks!
Hoop Sparx classes are a safe, supportive, and encouraging space for people aged 14+, from diverse backgrounds and varying levels of fitness. Our oldest regular student is in their late sixties!
“Fabulous for people who dislike the term ‘exercise’ but love fun, and movement. Re-connect with your inner child.”
