What is Whoop?
WHOOP is a screen-free, 24/7 wearable designed to help you understand and improve your health, fitness, and longevity—no distractions, just data that matters. Unlike smartwatches that buzz with notifications, WHOOP quietly tracks your body’s signals around the clock to deliver personalized insights on sleep, strain, recovery, stress, and heart health.
Backed by PhDs and trusted by elite athletes like Cristiano Ronaldo and Patrick Mahomes, WHOOP goes beyond step counting. It helps everyday users build better habits, optimize performance, and even extend their healthspan—the number of years they live in good health. With features like VO2 Max tracking, hormonal cycle insights, and daily blood pressure estimates (in beta), it’s built for anyone serious about long-term wellness.
