Review 1 for Gold's Gym 2.5 lb Fitness Hoop
Hula hoop
,12/23/2012

I am trying to slim down my mid section and this weighted hula hoop seems to be doing the job.
I have used it for a week and am starting to see some shrinkage in my midsection. I started out with 20 minutes once a day and have progressed to 30 minutes. At first use my skin did bruise. I started wearing a sweatshirt during exercise that eliminated bruising. You can actually work up a sweat.
This is definitely a good exercise in firming up your abdomen.

I'd been searching stores and researching online for a hula hoop designed for exercise. The Gold's Gym Hoop is exactly what I was looking for and the price is so reasonable! It gives me a good workout in a very short time. The soft padding helps with comfort, but you might end up with a little soreness or even a minor bruise here and there until you improve your skills. It's very easy to get the hula motion going, and the short, well-produced DVD is a nice bonus to guide you. There's also a printed pamphlet, which is very helpful. When putting the sections together, match the graphics and be sure the parts snap into place securely. There might still be a little 'looseness' at the joints, but it will hold together just fine once assembled correctly. My order arrived days earlier than predicted. I am thrilled with this purchase!

Review 4 for Gold's Gym 2.5 lb Fitness Hoop
Not the right hoop for a beginner

I chose this hoop for exercise after reading the reviews. Unfortunately, I just couldn't hoop with it, no matter how much I tried. And tried.
I had a younger, fitter friend try it, she was able to hoop with it. (And make it look easy!) So I kept trying for a couple of (more) weeks, and still couldn't get it going. At all! Next I had my daughter try it. (She is the one who talked me into trying a hoop in the first place. She loves hooping, she wants to teach me tricks.) Of course, she could get it going and make it look easy.
Meanwhile, I tried HER hoop, and, guess what? I COULD DO IT!!
After about 6 weeks I still can't hoop with this Gold's Gym hoop, but I'm doing great with the larger, thinner hoop I purchased online from Canyon Hoops.
So, unless you are pretty fit, I would recommend you try something else even if it costs a little more money. This one did not work for me.

It seems a bit floppy but once you start to hula you can feel the weight of it molding into your sides. Since its winter here it's a good product to keep me busy for those days I can't trek it in the snow to the gym.

I returned the weighted hoop. Was too heavy & left bruises around abdomen. Returned it & opted for a light 1 pound hoop.

Nice, large, heavy hoop, easy to assemble. Used it only 5 times by now 10 minutes each time, started to notice that my lower back hurts after the exercise, hopefully will loose some weight around my waist and it will not cause any damage to my lower back.

This is my first hoop so i don't have much to go by, but i thought i could have used a lighter one (i'm at 160 cm and 145 lb). I find this one too heavy to keep up and there was some bruising as well.

At first it hurt my waist, but as I got better, the soreness went away. I really see results on my abs and waistline. I like to hula hoop in the evenings while watching TV. What an easy and enjoyable method of exercise!

The hoop itself was pretty much as expected. Solid product, as discribed. The only downside for me was, contrary to what most reviews said, even this lighter weight hurts! The package, which was simply the original box with a shipping lable, was torn up, and absolutely FILTHY! And therefore the contents as well...I had to clean it before use! So Gold's Gym would get 4 stars, Walmart 1!

This product is very comfortable to use. I tried the nubby one and didn't like it. Very well made. Definitely gets the heart going. My stomach and leg muscles were sore so that means its working.

I love my Gold's Gym Fitness Hoop. Using it is so much fun you want to exercise. It is the perfect weight for me, and so easy to use.
I have recommended this fitness hoop to at least 10 people, and we now all hoop together. You could not ask for a better fitness hoop.

As much as I dislike exercise gimicks; though I find this to be more of the same, this is a practical, realistic exercise tool, and seems to really work. Pretty cool actually !

Just what I was looking for!

I had some reservations about this product since some reviews said it was difficult to assemble. I found it easy to put together once I figured out to give the pieces a little extra nudge.
The product remains assembled beautifully.
Inexperienced users may experience some soreness around their torsos after the first few uses, but that will happen with any hoop. The cushioning on this hoop actually keeps that to a minimum.
Finally, this hoops holds up against repeated drops very well.
All in all I have been very impressed.
