Hot Hula Fitness got its start in the summer of 2009 as it was sponsored by 24 Hour Fitness at the years IDEA World Fitness Conference, after Anna-Rita Sloss started the company by suggestion of her friends. Since then it has grown to encompass more than 400 classes a week and over 300 instructors world-wide. Hot Hula "isolates your larger muscle groups, increasing strength and definition to your core with specific emphasis on the abs, glutes, quads and arms.  Inspired by the dances of the Pacific Islands." It "incorporates easy to perform dance movements set to the sounds of traditional Polynesian drum beats fused with funky Reggae music, resulting in a modern, hip fitness workout," good for all ages that increases family well-fare, and can burn off as much as "900 calories" in a single workout.
