The Truth About "Weighted" Hula Hoops The word "weighted" can be a bit confusing in terms of hula hoops. Weighted simply means that the hoop is heavier than your typical Dollar Store or Walmart hoop. Don't get a 3 pound or heavier hoop! Even a 3-pounds is VERY bad for you and can cause permanent damage to your spine. Just Google, "Hula Hoops How Heavy is Too Heavy" - and you can read SCIENCE and DOCTOR backed research on the subject. Advising against a heavier hoop is not just our opinion, it's backed by research from doctors, physical therapists and lots of interviews with people in the medical and fitness profession. The people selling 3-7 pound padded hoops are Chinese companies that don't care about your health or well-being, they are only here to make MONEY. I implore to NOT seek out a heavy hoop, you will regret it for the rest of your life! Canyon Hoops Hoop Specifications Hoops are 38" or 42" in diameter.

Very nice hoop!!!
I'm new to hula hooping. This is a really nice hoop. It's very sturdy and nicely made, the color is beautiful. I had an issue, contacted the company and they were so quick to respond and trouble shoot with me. I was totally impressed. Once I get good at hooping, I'll buy another from them for sure. Oh and I received it earlier than expected too.

Best hoop I've found.....
Can you hear the sound of my swoosh :). I stayed home from work anticipating the arrival of my hoop, from previous reviews I knew it had to sit a while to unravel- so I "patiently" waited. To speed up the process I used a hair dryer to warm it. Once it was done I connected the tube to the black adapter included, and I was good to go. I have the large version (I'm considered to be plus size), for me personally I like that is a little heavier than most hoops. After a few rounds you really began to feel it. It will be a regular part of my fitness routine

Not as hooped up about my hoop this time!
This is the second Canyon hoop I have purchased. The first one was very easy for me to use, and held up very well despite leaving out in the backyard, but finally, the elements did it in. I don't recall having to put it together when I first got it. If I did the instructions were clear and no issues. My recent purchase of a Canyon Hoop did not go as well. The instructions were confusing. Getting answers were slow. It may have gotten a little warped in the process of getting it ready for use and also does not seem as weighted as my first hoop. It is much harder for me to use. I keep dropping it when hooping.

Should have got the smaller size
It arrived quickly & expanded & snapped into place, instructions were easy. It's a great product, but I should have ordered the small adult instead of regular adult, I'm 5'5" 160 lbs, so ladies take this into consideration, & get the best size for you

Get this hoop for first timers
I ordered the canyon weighted hoop 42" hoop on a Saturday and it came 9 days later . That pissed me off . But when it finally came and I tried it I was in love with it . I had to let it thaw out over night in a heated room before I could use it . You can blow dry it for faster results of loosening the hard plastic . It took me a few tries before I was able to balance it on my waist for more than 2 seconds . I'm now up to 5 minutes straight . I wrapped my waist in seran wrap and played music I hula hooped for 20 minutes tonight and plan to do 20 minutes every night . I also found it helpful while balancing the hoop to suck my stomach in and gently toss my butt . I feel the burn already . I love this hula . The seran wrap was soaked when I took it off my waist . I highly recommend this hoop . Don't get the hoop with the ridges in it . This hoop is smooth but hurts when you first start. After I learned how to swing my hips to the flow of the hoop it doesn't hurt any more . I love this hoop

Not my tea
This is much like a Walmart Hula Hoop but maybe paper like. Pretty color, that's what I paid for apparently.

This hoop is awesome!
I have only ever used those cheap kid hula hoops, but I wanted to get into hooping with the pipe dream of becoming a fire hooper one day (however unlikely that dream is). I wound up getting the larger hoop as I am 5'11"; it's perfect for my height. I use this hoop all the time! It's so much fun, it doesn't feel like excercise, and the more I use it, the better I get. There are a lot of wonderful "how-to" videos online to teach you different tricks and hooping styles. I have never added water to my hoop to give it more weight, but I love how that is an option. I recommend this hoop to anyone who is just getting into hooping or who is more familiar.
