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,
