BIG READ: Z-spins and shoulder rolls for mind and body health

The 33-year-old, from Fareham, says: 'My tummy did not go back after having my daughter, and then I had my son and I was down about my body so I tried everything to get my body back.

'I tried personal training sessions, the gym and nothing was working. While looking on YouTube for tummy toning workouts I saw a hula hooping video and it has all gone from there.'

Hannah had found the exercise regime for her and a career in one fell swoop.

The mother-of-three says: 'Before I had my kids I was an air hostess and there was no way I could go back to that with the erratic hours and all the travelling. I needed something that worked around the kids. 

'Being a fitness instructor was perfect and meant I could carry on hooping. I developed a passion for it and decided to start doing my own classes.'

Hannah was invited into the school of her nine-year-old daughter, Angelina, and did a hula hoop workshop.

She says: 'I had only ever done classes for adults and never really had plans to extend to kid's classes but they absolutely loved it. I think having the hoop meant the kids were engaged the whole time.'

Hannah now runs Globe Fit, which she started in September last year, and takes after-school hooping classes at 15 schools across Hampshire with four more starting after Easter.

She says: 'It has gone absolutely crazy and I never had any idea it would be so popular.

'For me it is great that both children and adults are getting active '“ especially kids as it is hard to get them off the sofa and their iPads nowadays.'

More than 200 children attend hooping classes each week and a group also come along to a three-hour session on a Saturday morning at Fareham College.

Hannah says: 'It is great that we have kids who love it so much that they then come along on Saturday mornings to do extra sessions in acrobatics, hooping skills and choreography.

'The older kids started to get competitive with tricks and skills so we now also have two troupes of children who do more advanced skills and perform.' 

The troupe recently auditioned for ITV's Britain's Got Talent.  Although they did not make it to the judges Hannah is raring to apply again next year.

She says: 'It is something different and unique and I think next year we can have more tricks and skills and get further.

'We have also got to the regional semi finals of Britain Does Variety which is the same premise as the TV show and is a national competition so that is exciting to show people what they can do.'

Hannah's daughter Angelina is one of the girls in the troupe.

Hannah says: 'All the troupe are currently girls but we have a good mix at the after-school clubs of boys as well so I would really like to get some boys into the troupe.
