In Geelong, Victoria, Australia, the hula hoop has come full circle. The Geelong Advertiser Tarn Gillies is not your regular mum of four. The 34-year-old hula hoop instructor is committed to bringing a childhood memory back into fashion. “I’ve had hula hoops in my possession for a long time now,” Ms Gillies said. “It’s a real joy for me. I want to be able to share the experience.” After moving to Geelong six months ago, Ms Gillies opened up Hoop Fusion and hasn’t looked back since. “There has been a really positive and rewarding feedback so far,” she said. “Hula hooping is a great aerobic exercise,” Ms Gillies said. “But it’s a form of exercise that doesn’t feel like you’re working out.” Ms Gillies said Geelong enthusiasts have now caught on to a global trend. “Classes everywhere are booked out,” she said.
