Rooftop Hula at The Berkeley

Love London

Taking fitness trends to new heights this summer, the Berkeley Health Club & Spa is launching London’s first rooftop hula-hooping masterclasses. Twirling hips and wiggling waists will be all the rage as the Berkeley partners with leading hula-hoop fitness experts HulaFit®.

Burning up to 600 calories an hour hula-hooping is a firm favourite at keeping silhouettes svelte for celebrities such as Liv Tyler and Emma Stone, and this twirl-tastic exercise has even been known to keep Beyonce bootilicious. As this swinging sensation takes off in London, the Berkeley will host weekly 60-minute masterclasses for up to six hula-hoopers in the rooftop spa from Wednesday 17th June until 28th October 2015. In collaboration with HulaFit®, guests can enjoy bespoke masterclasses with HulaFit® founder Anna Byrne using one of a kind Berkeley hula-hoops which can be taken home to continue the fun.

Distinguished from other hooping classes, HulaFit® is designed to focus on both the fun and the fitness of hula-hooping targeting core muscles for a supreme abdominal workout. HulaFit® masterclasses will teach a wide variety of hooping styles to burn calories, tone muscles and teach tricks. Beginning with the basic ‘Waist Hooping’, progressing to ‘Turning & Pirouettes’, ‘The Limbo’, ‘The Vortex’, ‘Body Wraps’ and the ultimate ‘Booty Bump’. From simple waist curls to more advanced techniques, HulaFit® will keep the intensity high combining sexy style with challenging cardio. Following each class, Berkeley hula-hoopers can enjoy a relaxing dip and a well-deserved poolside lunch overlooking panoramic views of Hyde Park and bustling Knightsbridge.

HulaFit® founder Anna Bryne says, ‘This is a once in a lifetime chance to collaborate with one of London’s top spas bringing a fun, fresh and figure enhancing concept to the rooftops of Knightsbridge. Hooping is a question of 'muscle memory' and as agility and strength develop, guests can return time and time again to perfect their routine and their curves.’

A first in London, these rooftop HulaFit® classes are open to hotel guests and visitors alike and are available every Wednesday from 12noon to 1pm each week from Wednesday 17th June to 28th October, priced at £65 per person.
