ABOUT THE OWNER & FOUNDER: TASYA LACY (“MY WHY”)
I am a 2020 National Spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, a 2021–2024 National Heart Mentor for the Survivors Have Heart program (where I had the privilege of mentoring alongside celebrity fitness instructor and heart attack survivor Bob Harper), the 2025 American Heart Association Woman of Impact Winner for Dayton, Ohio, and the 2026 Woman of Impact Go Red Chairwoman for Dayton.

Through these roles, I share my personal journey of living with cardiovascular disease and surviving a "widow-maker" heart attack. Ironically, I was hula-hooping—my lifelong passion—when the heart attack struck. Because I maintained a healthy physical regimen, my heart was able to endure that widow-maker with no permanent damage, giving me an 80% chance of survival.

I am no stranger to health challenges, but finding a low-impact workout I love has been key to keeping them under control. Having researched the history and benefits of hula hooping extensively during my college years, I learned that hooping is not just for children—it is a phenomenal, functional form of exercise.

I look forward to helping you fall in love with hula hooping for your health!
