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 that includes the device and the WHOOP app, fostering a community through challenges and social features. The goal of WHOOP is to help users make informed decisions about their training and recovery, ultimately enhancing their performance while reducing the risk of injury.
