QUESTION

What was your first impression?

THE SCOOP

Camille: Sheryl seems to be perfect in this position because she had a high energy that she maintained throughout the entire time with us!
Emily: Sheryl’s energy and all the fitness-related activities in which she’s involved. I hope I have that much energy when I’m her age!
Jill: I found Sheryl to be very energetic and fun to listen to, but was slightly intimidated by all the hula hoops.
Kalli: Hula Hooping: not just for the coordinated.
Michelle: I laughed, a lot at the idea of a hula hoop class and it did not disappoint!
Quinn: Hmmm… what is this all about?
Stephanie: Sheryl had so much energy. She obviously is passionate about and loves what she is doing.
Vanessa: She has a lot of fun and passion teaching people in all ways: how they exercise, how they take care of themselves, how they eat, how they garden, how to live and thrive!

QUESTION

What did you like the most?

.
THE SCOOP

Camille: I’ll be honest. At first I was skeptical, but after hooping for even 5 minutes I really could feel the strain on my abs! She wasn’t kidding!
Emily: Though the hula-hooping itself was fun, the best part was watching everyone else give it a try. We seriously laughed our hoops off! And I was impressed the hula hoops had water inside for added resistance. Kind of cool!
Jill: Once I remembered how to hula hoop, the exercising part was actually quite enjoyable. The hooping itself made my brain forget that my body was exercising, and before I knew it, I was sweating like a pig in my skinny jeans.
Kalli: The big, weighted hoops made it pretty easy. I liked those.
Michelle: We had a lot of fun and burned calories from the workout and the laughing. I loved watching everyone freestyle. {I have to admit, freestylin’ it was the best part!}
Quinn: Loved watching everyone hula hoop!
Stephanie: Watching the ladies hula hoop. I didn’t actually take the plunge but it was so much fun watching the other gals.
Vanessa: Her energy, enthusiasm, friendliness and love for what she teaches!

QUESTION

What didn’t you like?

.
THE SCOOP

Camille: That I pewtered out before the end. I thought I was in better shape.
Emily: Thought it got me movin’ and groovin’ it didn’t make me sweat nearly as much as a seriously hard workout at the gym. Perhaps if we’d thrown in some 10-pound weights and done a few hammer curls I’d have enjoyed it more.
Jill: It would be more of a difficult exercise for people who can’t hula hoop because they would spend most of the time trying to figure that part out.
Kalli: The hoops could also get a little heavy… Also, I haven’t used those muscles like ever.
Michelle: The bruises. I literally looked like I had been beaten on my ribs and hips. {That’s what happens when you have no body fat, Michelle.}
Quinn: I felt like Sheryl’s talk of her other endeavors went on too long; wish there would have just been a handout with her web address and a list of the other classes/activities she teaches we could take with us if we were interested in hearing more.
Stephanie: How much room it takes to hula hoop. You would need a fairly large, open space to do it indoors.
Vanessa: I would have loved to learn the pros of what we working on, a more focused and educational “lecture” to go along with the class.

QUESTION

Would you visit again? (In other words, would you attend one of Sheryl’s classes?)

.
THE SCOOP

Camille: Yes, in fact, I debated purchasing one of her hula hoops to secretly continue it at home.
Emily: Probably not only because I’m a gym rat at heart and prefer weight machines to water-filled hula hoops.
Jill: I probably would. It would be a good time.
Kalli: Sure, I think she has a great passion and it is very fun.
Michelle: Since I am not much of a gym person this could be a fun option for me, once I get past the bruising.
Quinn: Probably not, but I am pregnant and it’s probably not advisable to hula hoop for the next few months.
Stephanie: Yes. I think the hula hooping looked like a blast. I definitely want to try it next time.
Vanessa: I am really interested in her trampoline exercise class and learning to feed a family on a healthy diet for under $140 a month.
