Whoop

Wearable fitness tracker with personalized insights

About Whoop

WHOOP offers a fitness membership that focuses on improving personal health and performance through a wearable device called the WHOOP Strap 3.0. This device continuously collects physiological data, including heart rate, sleep patterns, and recovery levels, to provide users with personalized recommendations on their daily activity, sleep needs, and readiness for performance. Unlike many competitors, WHOOP operates on a subscription model, where users pay a fee to access the membership, which includes the device and continuous insights through the WHOOP app. This model not only provides a steady revenue stream but also fosters a strong community among users, encouraging engagement through teams, challenges, and social features. The goal of WHOOP is to help users optimize their health and performance while minimizing injury risk.
