My Story
How HulaHoopSingapore Began
Hi, I’m May
I’m a mother of four and the founder of HulaHoopSingapore.com, a Singapore home-grown brand established in 2012.
Like many women, I wanted to feel stronger, more confident and more comfortable in my body—but finding time to exercise while managing work, family and everyday responsibilities was not always easy.
I needed a form of movement that could fit into my life, rather than another routine that made life feel even more demanding.
That was how my hooping journey began.

The movement I actually looked forward to
When I first tried hula hooping, I was surprised by how enjoyable it felt.
It was rhythmic, energising and easy to do at home. I did not need to travel to a gym, follow a complicated programme or set aside an entire hour. I could simply pick up my hoop and move whenever I had a few minutes.
As I became more consistent, I started to feel the difference. Hooping helped me engage my core, move my waist and hips, and reconnect with my body in a way that felt playful rather than punishing.
Most importantly, it was something I genuinely wanted to continue doing.
How HulaHoopSingapore began
My own experience made me curious about the different types of hoops available. I began exploring various sizes, weights, materials and designs, and discovered that choosing the right hoop could make a tremendous difference—especially for beginners.
In 2012, I started HulaHoopSingapore.com to help more people discover an enjoyable and accessible way to move.
Over the years, I have personally selected and tested different hoops, keeping only those that I believe offer a meaningful and enjoyable hooping experience. Today, our collection is intentionally focused: each hoop serves a different purpose, from learning to hoop and building core strength to working the upper body and supporting belly wellness through rhythmic movement and massage.

More than simply selling hoops
I understand how discouraging it can feel when a hoop keeps falling or when you are unsure whether you have chosen the right one.
That is why HulaHoopSingapore is not only a place to buy a hoop. I want it to be a place where beginners feel supported.
When you shop with us, you receive:
- Carefully selected and personally tested hoops
- Guidance to help you choose the right hoop
- Beginner tutorials and practical hooping tips
- Friendly after-sales support
- Our 14-Day Love It Guarantee
You do not have to be naturally coordinated, athletic or experienced. Dropping the hoop is part of learning. With the right hoop, a little guidance and regular practice, you can find your rhythm.
Still moving, learning and growing
My own wellness journey continues.
As a woman, mother and now a woman navigating midlife, I have learned that our bodies change—and the way we care for them needs to change too. Movement is no longer just about chasing a smaller waistline. It is about maintaining strength, mobility, energy and confidence for the years ahead.
Hula hooping remains one of the simple ways I bring movement and joy into my day. I hope it can do the same for you.
Whether you want to build a stronger core, tone your upper body, support belly wellness or simply rediscover the joy of moving, you are welcome here.
Move with joy. Live stronger.
With love,
May Lim

A Singapore Story Since 2012
Shortly after HulaHoopSingapore began, my hooping journey and business were featured in Singapore newspaper Lianhe Wanbao on 3 December 2012. It remains a special milestone in our story and a reminder of how far this little home-grown brand has come.
Founder promise
Every hoop in our collection is chosen with purpose. I want you to understand what you are buying, feel supported when you begin and enjoy a form of movement that can become part of your everyday life.
