Weighted Exercise Hula Hoop
$79
Welcome! You’ve found the hoop I recommend if you’re looking for a weighted exercise hula hoop that’s actually designed for beginners.
Unlike the overly heavy, one-size-fits-all hoops you’ll find in big box stores and online marketplaces, every Ruby Hoop is custom-built to fit your unique body.
Our Weighted Exercise Hoops feature wider 1″ grip tape than our regular Beginner Hoops for extra grip and just the right amount of added weight.

The right size hoop makes learning dramatically easier.
Once you’ve found your perfect fit, simply choose your tape colors and we’ll handcraft your hoop to order right here in North Carolina.
What to Expect From Your Weighted Exercise Hoop
If you’ve been searching for a weighted exercise hula hoop, you’ve probably noticed that many of the options on the market are bulky, overly heavy, or covered in hard massage ridges.
That’s not what we make.
After helping thousands of beginners over the past 14 years, I’ve learned that the right size hoop matters far more than excessive weight. That’s why our Weighted Exercise Hoop is designed to give you extra grip and a little added weight without becoming uncomfortable or difficult to use.
The best weighted exercise hula hoop isn’t the heaviest one. It’s the one you’ll actually enjoy using consistently.
The goal isn’t to punish your body, cause bruising, and risk damage to your internal organs.
The goal is to help you fall in love with hooping. And I’m VERY committed to that goal!
Why this hoop is different
- Custom-built to fit your body so you can learn faster
- Made from durable 3/4″ 100 PSI PE tubing with wider 1″ grip tape for extra grip and added weight
- Weighs approximately 1–2 pounds, depending on the diameter you choose
- Heavy enough to provide a fun, effective workout without relying on excessive weight
- Collapses to about one-quarter of its size for travel
- Handcrafted by experienced hoopers who genuinely care about your success
Why don’t we make super heavy hoops?
This is one of the questions I get asked the most.
While many companies market heavier hoops as “better,” keep in mind those companies are mass producing hoops in some Chinese warehouse without any expertise or commitment to your hula hoop journey.
I intentionally don’t build excessively heavy hoops because they just aren’t necessary for a great workout.
In fact, very heavy hoops can be uncomfortable to use, leave significant bruising, and may increase the risk of injury for some people.
Instead, I focus on what actually helps beginners succeed:
✔ Choosing the correct hoop diameter
✔ Using enough weight to provide momentum, burn calories and tone muscle
✔ Creating a hoop that’s comfortable enough that you’ll actually want to use it again tomorrow.
Because consistency, not suffering, is what creates results.

Whether your goal is to burn calories, build confidence, reduce stress, or simply have more fun moving your body, I’m cheering you on every step of the way.

I love my exercise hoop! It’s beautiful and very well made. It’s perfect for a beginner who is looking to lose weight. I highly recommend it!

I bought my very first hula hoop on May 30, 2014 from Ruby Hooping. It was an exercise hoop that I have since named “Big Blue”. In a little over a month, I lost 14 lbs using only my hoop for exercise and I am in love with it! For someone as large as I am, it is imperative that I have a low-impact workout so that I do not further damage my joints and hooping is definitely the answer for me. I also would like to say that Lindsay is very professional and her hoops are of great quality. I will never buy from anyone else!

As a kid I couldn’t do it and figured it was because I was too fat and gave up. And I even got it to stay up longer than this and was definitely sweating. Lol. I felt childishly proud of myself. But it’s nice to realize you *can* do something you gave up on as a kid. Thank you!!

I can’t say enough about this company – this woman! – or my hoops! I ordered the pink and silver exercise hoop and accidentally got shipped a green one (equally gorgeous, by the way!) by mistake. She immediately righted this without any hesitation and was incredibly helpful both before I ordered (we specialized mine to fit my needs), and afterwards, as I’ve never been a successful hooper as a child. Even now, I have some difficulty, but have gotten so much amazing feedback and support/encouragement from Ruby Hooping that keeps me trying. <3 I can't suggest this company enough for your hooping needs.

My new exercise hoop is awesome! It is very bright. Although I thought it was going to be weighted a little it feels like my performance hoop. It is lighter than my first beginner hoop. I am not complaining one bet was just unsure.. other than the weight I love it! The Orange is very bright and prettiful (:

I was gifted a hoop by my partner and I loved it so much that I had to buy another one! I love how high quality these hoops are and how much attention and care is put into making them. The weight is also great because I know I’m getting a good workout without the risk of damaging any internal organs. These hoops taught me that anyone can hula hoop no matter size, mobility, etc! The size chart works great for deciding which hoop to buy so I recommend checking it out first.

Lindsay makes great products! Always made exactly how ordered and shipped in a timely manner. If you need help with sizing or have questions about what you’re ordering, she’s more than willing to have a conversation with you to make sure you get exactly what you’re looking for. Will always be a #rubyhooper

I was searching online for a hula hoop during pandemic. I did not want a real heavy hoop. After looking at Ruby Hooping website I was very pleased with informative information provided. I ordered a few hoops and they were exactly what I wanted. They took awhile to get because of high demand. I was kept in the hoop about the status of my order. I would order from them again.
