I am 265 pounds, would I be able to use this Hula Hoop?

I honestly dont know. It would depend on your waist size. It is actually very easy to do and i would think it would work, but check waist size.,,,

I do not see why not. It is heavy so it is easier for many people rather than a light one. You start out at a short time of about one minute and then build up your time. If you do not know how to Hula Hoop there is a learning curve. Even it falling down and you have to pick it up, gives you a nice workout for your stomach and back muscles. I do like this Hula Hoop and so do my Boot Camp participants.

As some of the other reviewers have noted, it can leave bruises for smaller sized women but after a couple of neck surgeries (not related to hula hoop), I am not able to use my hoop. Prior to injuries.I ttried it out. I was not able to keep it going more than 2 minutes or so and two things; when putting it together make sure you look at picture so colors are in EXACT order or it will not stay connected and two, ensure you have plenty of room around you before using hoop because it will require you to move to keep hoop going. I don't see why your size would affect your ability to use hoop. Hope the answer helps. If I d:::idn't have a fused neck, I would use this hoop to chisel away inches.

Yes. The platform with the hoop is the weakest and might sag a tad but the unit won't topple. I just went and leaned on it pretty good and it seemed fine.

I am 5"2 and I think the 2.5 lb hula hoop would be the best for you. The heavier hula hoops are usually wider in diameter and even the smallest light hula hoops you can find are huge in diameter for a short thin person. If you are fairly thin and want the hula hoop as a fun way to exercise I'd go with 2.5 pounds as they are easy to rotate and you can increase intensity by simply tightening your core more. If you want a more intense workout and want it to be difficult to spin the hula hoop around your waist you can go with the heavier ones but they may be almost as tall as you are.

My best friend used it and she is 260. No problems. I love it and how wide it is.

Yes. I am over 200 pounds and use it for crossfit workouts requiring box jumps. No issues. Very Sturdy.

I weigh 220 (all right, 225) and if I used it regularly I think it would break as it's a little flimsy. Worked fine for my mom (150).

According to the isokinetics web site, the limit appears to be 300 lbs. I'm 225 and the only issue for me was that the back support will bend if you lean back hard. But the idea is to stay straight up anyway.

I weigh 260lbs & it works great for me. It is extremely sturdy & I have no stability problems with any of the exercises

Yes Hula Hooping will help you. It is a "Core Builder" and while it does that it tightens the "muffin top" It is a great low impact workout. If you are on the thinner side and knowyou can hoop you would be OK with the 38" size...

Shouldn't be a problem. I was 240 at the time I used it + close to 300 lb of weight. Not sure what are the limits on their warranty.

yes it will ... as it will work your "CORE" and that is what you want to do .... I HAVE ANOTHER HOOP THAT IS WEIGHTED!!! as stated below: that HOOP IS MORE LIKE A REGULAR HOOP, NOT MUCH WEIGH TO IT ... IT'S STILL FUN & WILL WORK YOUR CORE. You'd get BETTER RESULTS WITH A DIFERENT "WEIGHTED HOOP"

Not a problem - it's very well built. I'm just under 200 and I know it could handle someone much heavier.

I think so. I'm 190 and it doesn't flex much under my weight. It feels pretty solid.

This is an excellent product that I'm really happy to have. It might support a heavier person. I'm a little over 200, I'll bet it will work. You might want to call the company or just try it.

I am shorter and it's a good hoop for beginners who want to practice waist hooping. It's not a good size if you are planning on doing off body moves unless you have a huge space to practice in. I did not have trouble putting it together I used a hair dryer on the end and twisted two ends together.

I'm only 165 pounds.. the seat is a bit too small for you anyway, you won't feel comfortable. so not recommend :)

No I wouldn't use this pole if your weight is over 170 to be on the safe side.
