"Energizabulls and HOPSports have energized my Physical Education classes at Kellman Elementary.  Our kids need daily, quality P.E. and HOPSports provides it.  Our resources are very limited as we only have an activity room for Preschool through Eighth grades.  HOPSports provides innovative, fitnessbased workouts.  The students love the programs, the pulsating music, the intense movement.  They are so engaged, motivation is very high with these great activities.  From preschool to eighth grade the students are moving, focused and asking for more.  Thank you Mr. Kurland and Chicago Bulls for believing in Chicago kids and pushing for daily, quality Physical Education."

After the first week of use, the conversation in the halls when I saw athletes became “what are we going to do in HOPSports today?” This system was fun for the athletes but it was nothing for their legs to be shaking and abs aching at the finish of the session.HOPSports was also used by boy’s soccer during their season when bad weather shut down practice. I just moved it to the only place available, a long hallway, set up ladders and practice was back on schedule.”

"I know this may sound too good to be true, but it's true. The HOPSports system has changed our curriculum and it is Standard-Based. My administration loves this program, especially when my Adaptive PE class uses it. Pretty incredible. Here is our school website to give you an idea on what we have accomplished. Remember, this all started with HOPS.A few years ago, we had nothing, I mean nothing. The first product that we implemented is the HOPSports program. This is the center of our curriculum. Every PE teacher uses it daily. On rainy days, we have three classes of 50 at one time using it. That's 150 students working out. You try and find me another product that can do that. You can't."

"You will have lesson plans that range from Cardio-kickboxing, jump rope, boot camp workouts, ladder workouts, dance/rhythmic workouts, exercise ball workouts, combo workouts, lesson workouts (swimming, baseball, hockey, soccer, basketball) etc., and my personal favorite workouts are the ladder workouts. They are the best."

"The HOPSports system has provided the best health and skill related training techniques and programs, for all students and athletes, I have ever seen during my 22 year teaching career. Our administration also has a strong belief in the program and will put the HOPSports training system in all of our middle schools in the fall for Physical Education, athletic practice and before and after school programs.”

“Several of us have used it with our classes. The kids love it!”

Sue Sundberg – King Middle School

“The kids love it. They ask every day if they can do HOPSports. I’ve never had this kind of response before.”

Dennis Arce – Byrd Middle School

“The kids are raving about the HOPSports program and want to do it every day. The Principal thought it was fantastic! Thanks for everything.”

Christine Berni Ramos, Teacher – Elizabeth Learning Center

“We love using the HOPSports system with our Adaptive class which we have everyday for 55 minutes! We have approximately 25 adaptive students ranging in different disabilities that come to us with 35 8th graders that serve as PEST's (Physical Education Student Teachers) that help our adaptive kids. Our 8th graders pair up with our adaptive kids as mentors and help them through the different sport skills or aerobics, yoga, pilates, or ladder drills associated with the HOPSports system. We have seen huge success with both groups - our adaptive kids and our 8th graders as they learn from each other and great cooperation skills are developed and formed working closely together to achieve success while performing skills! It is probably our favorite way we found to use out HOPSports System!“

Melanie Champion, South Brunswick Middle School, Southport, NC

“HOPSports has rejuvenated and energized my fitness classes. Using this program helps the students get motivated to exercise even if they try to resist. It keeps their attention and I have noticed a significant increase in the students' participation. I am able to walk among the class and instruct individual students without stopping the entire class. We have even used the program with teachers for an afterschool workout.”

Mike Laughter, Fitness Teacher/Athletic Director, H.M. Arndt Middle School, Hickory, N.C.

“HOPSports is a great workout that works the entire body, strengthening and toning all muscle groups. The program has many different selections of workouts to choose from. It is the best workout that any athlete can do for the entire body. My teammates and I loved this workout becauseit challenged us to get better.”

Davis

“HOPSports is very beneficial to improving my strength, balance and overall health. HOPSports is good for my health. It can help you lose weight and stay fit as long as you do it the right way. HOPSports is fun to do because it is just fun exercise. If most kids had HOPSports, they would be good athletes.”

Logan

“We do many activities, but the best one of the last two years for me would have to be HOPSports. HOPSports helps you in many ways. It’s great exercise and helps you have greater health.”

Robert

“Now, HOPSports is my favorite thing to do in PE class. I hope we really keep on doing this.”

Brian

“HOPSports made me realize that exercise can be fun and exciting but at the same time you’re getting healthy and physically fit. HOPSports has helped me improve my laziness because before that I used to not do any exercise at all. It also motivates me to do all the exercises."

Myesha

“HOPSports helped my muscles become stronger in a fun way. I think that HOPSports has helped me a lot with my balance. Maybe I can learn to ride a bike now. HOPSports has motivated me to exercise a little more.”
