Amazon is flogging a £16 gadget that’s been hailed as a weight-loss wonder, with users claiming it shaves ‘inches’ off their waistlines. For those who dread the gym and prefer to sweat it out at home, this £16 marvel might be a good option.
Buyers report seeing significant changes after dedicating just 20 minutes a day over several weeks. The product in question is Amazon’s £15.99 Weighted Hula Hoops for Adults.
The weighted hula hoop has racked up an impressive overall customer rating of 4.4 stars out of five, based on thousands of positive reviews. Satisfied customers praise the fitness hoop for its ease of assembly and use, along with its comfort, exercise effectiveness, and enjoyment factor.
According to Amazon: “Weighted hula hooping is a proven way to lose weight and slim your waist. Thirty minute workouts can burn 200-300 calories.” The exercise tool comes in various weights to suit different skill levels, including pink and orange 1.2kg, blue 1.5kg, and black 2kg options, reports Surrey Live.
Designed for comfort and durability, the weighted hula hoop features foam padding that provides cushioned support to the body while maintaining a solid structure thanks to its polyurethane core. It consists of six soft foam-padded sections that easily slot together. The foam is also bacteria-resistant, ensuring the hoop is simple to clean and hygienic for regular use.
Weighted hula hooping can be an effective way to lose weight as it helps you burn calories, strengthen your core, and decrease body fat. That said, it’s important to remember that it’s not the sole approach for weight loss. It’s also essential to pay attention to your diet and seek advice from a professional.

Buyers have been raving about the product in their reviews. Perkins, one satisfied customer, wrote: “Absolutely love this item. Anyone wanting to lose a few inches on their waist this is just what you need. It is heavy but it does make you work. I persisted with it and after two weeks I could hula hoop for twenty minutes. The product itself is easy to link together and it’s very good quality.”
Another reviewer commented: “I put this together in less than 5 minutes. A great way to tone up and lose weight! ” Denise shared her enthusiasm, saying: “This is a brilliant and fun way to tone up your core and reduce your waist line.”
Alice reported seeing noticeable results, stating: “I have been using it for a week now (20 minutes each way) and I defo see a change. My core is tighter and my waist is smaller. Yes the first 2 days it does hurt but then it’s fine.” One reviewer proudly declared: “I’ve lost 4 inches off of my waist line which is great considering I was only 28 inches to start off with! and no more belly fat.”
One customer said: “Great, very good hoop. Easy to store and put together.”

Maria offered some words of caution, advising: “Firstly, it is very painful in your first week… you will also get bruises and the hula hoop for a few first times of using will seem to be much heavier than it actually is, but don’t worry it’ll pass. So, what I am saying is that for the first week you won’t be able to work with it for more than, say 5-10 minutes, maybe even less, but with each day it becomes better and better.”
However, not everyone was in agreement. One individual remarked: “I can barely hoola hoop for more than 5 seconds without it hurting me. Wouldn’t recommend.” Another voiced their disappointment, saying: “It was easy to assemble but lacked rigidity and form.” Sharon also chimed in with a critique: “This is a sturdy heavy hoop which would be excellent were it not for the ridges on the inside of the hoop.”
