WHOOP offers a fitness membership that focuses on improving personal health and performance through wearable technology. Its main product, the WHOOP Strap 3.0, is a device that continuously tracks physiological data such as heart rate, sleep patterns, and recovery levels. This data is analyzed to provide users with tailored recommendations on how much they should exert themselves, how much sleep they need, and their overall readiness for physical activity. Unlike many competitors, WHOOP operates on a subscription model, where users pay a fee that includes the device and access to the WHOOP app, which fosters community engagement through teams, challenges, and personalized insights. The goal of WHOOP is to help users enhance their performance while reducing the risk of injury by making informed decisions based on their unique data.
