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 monthly or annual fee that includes the device and access to the WHOOP app. This app not only delivers insights but also fosters community engagement through teams, challenges, and social features. The goal of WHOOP is to help users, from casual fitness enthusiasts to professional athletes, optimize their health and performance while minimizing injury risks.
