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 tracks physiological data such as heart rate, sleep patterns, and recovery levels. Based on this data, WHOOP provides personalized recommendations to help users manage their daily exertion, sleep needs, and 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, fostering a community through features like team challenges and social engagement. The goal of WHOOP is to help users optimize their health and performance, catering to both fitness enthusiasts and professional athletes.
