Hula Hoop Day is one of the sporting highlights of ABF 2026 in Hanover. On ABF Sunday, 15 February, the Fitness Arena will focus on exercise, fun and training together. Hula hooping has become a popular fitness trend in recent years – at ABF, interested visitors can experience the sport live and try it out for themselves.

Among those taking part is Germany's best-known hula hoop trainer, Elli Hoop, who will be presenting various workouts and demonstrating how versatile training with the hoop can be. The programme will be complemented by other experienced trainers such as Rosi Peoples, Anna Groß and Michaela, who will be offering different sessions for beginners and advanced participants alike.

All Hula Hoop Day programme items are included in the regular ABF ticket. No prior registration is required – visitors can drop by and join in at any time. The detailed programme with all times will be published shortly.

Those who want to stay active beyond the trade fair will find suitable hula hoops and accessories for training at home, on holiday or on the go at the Elli Hoop Shop stand in Hall 26.
