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 and challenges. The goal of WHOOP is to help users optimize their health and performance while minimizing injury risk, catering to a wide range of individuals from fitness enthusiasts to professional athletes.

Will Ahmed shared that his company, Whoop, had partnered with CrossFit during its most turbulent times and faced considerable challenges in that collaboration.
WHOOP just launched not one, but two new straps: the WHOOP Strap 5.0 and the WHOOP Strap MG (Medical Grade).
Whoop has backed down, somewhat, from the controversial upgrade plans around its Whoop 5.0 fitness tracker.When the company first announced Whoop 5.0 this week, it said members who wanted the new device could either extend their subscriptions by 12 months or pay a one-time upgrade fee of $49 ($79 for the model with EKG sensors).This seemed inconsistent with Whoop’s overall value proposition, where it charges higher subscription prices (ranging $199 to $359 a year) while allowing customers to upgrade their hardware for free. More specifically, it seemed to contradict a statement on the company’s website promising users free hardware upgrades if they’ve been members for at least six months.After customers began complaining, the company responded with a Reddit post both announcing a more expansive upgrade policy and claiming to clarify its overall approach.Now, anyone with more than 12 months remaining on their subscription is eligible for a free upgrade to Whoop 5.0 (or a refund if they’ve already paid the fee). And customers with less than 12 months can extend their subscription to get the upgrade at no additional cost.While the company said it’s making these changes because it “heard your feedback,” it also suggested that its apparent stinginess was tied to its transition from a model focused on monthly or six-month subscription plans to one where it only offers 12- and 24-month subscriptions.“We also want to acknowledge that a previous blog article incorrectly stated that anyone who had been a member for just 6 months would receive a free upgrade,” the company said. “This was never our policy and should never have been posted.”Techcrunch event Exhibit at TechCrunch Sessions: AI Secure your spot at TC Sessions: AI and show 1,200+ decision-makers what you’ve built — without the big spend.
