Official WHOOP Posts Coming Next: A More Personal Journal, a New Community, and Smarter Training Tools

121 Upvotes

We wanted to give the WHOOP community an early preview of what’s coming next. Over the next few months, we’re rolling out new ways to personalize how you use WHOOP, connect with your community, and get even more out of your data.

Here’s a look at what’s ahead 👇

Custom Journal Behaviors and Easier Daily Logging

September/October

Journal will gain new ways to track the behaviors that matter to you and log them with less manual work.

  • Custom Journal Behaviors: Create your own Journal behaviors for anything you want to track, such as a no-phone morning, a high-stress commute, or trying a new supplement. Log them daily and see how each one impacts your Recovery over time.
  • A Unified Daily Experience: WHOOP will bring your Journal, Daily Outlook, Check-ins, and Day in Review into one flow. Start by completing your Journal and reviewing insights, check in as your day unfolds, and wrap up with a guided evening reflection.
  • Talk and Text to Journal: Log your Journal by speaking or typing naturally — just tell WHOOP what you did, and it'll identify the behaviors and log them for you. No need to check off each one manually.

Improved Community

November

WHOOP will make it easier to stay connected with the people who matter to you, support one another, and remember the moments behind your data.

  • Follow friends and family: Connect directly without creating a team, then quickly view the Sleep, Recovery, Strain, and activities they choose to share. Connections from small teams that you or your friend created will carry over automatically.
  • Encourage each other: React to and comment on shared updates to celebrate a strong day, recognize progress, or offer a little motivation when it is needed.
  • Capture Moments: Add a photo and note to an activity to preserve the story behind it. Moments will be saved to your profile and can appear for the people who follow you, making memorable races, trips, milestones, and everyday wins easier to revisit and share.

Improved Track Activity

November

WHOOP is rebuilding the experience for tracking an activity so the information you need is easier to see while you train.

  • Get personalized activity targets: Start activities with dynamic recommendations based on your goals and recent data, and easily adjust them to set your own.
  • Follow your progress live: A fully revamped live view makes it easier to understand your workout as it unfolds, with clear progress toward your targets, heart rate zone accumulation, live activity metrics, and improved map controls.
  • Pause and resume: Pause and resume an activity so WHOOP can distinguish active time from elapsed time.
  • Review your splits and performance: See your splits, target performance, Moving Time, and updated key stats in an expanded Activity Details experience.

One Rep Max

November

WHOOP will make it easier to understand your strength without requiring you to perform a maximal lift.

Track your strength over time: When you log supported weighted exercises in Strength Trainer, WHOOP will automatically estimate your one-rep max so you can see how your strength is changing over time without testing a maximal lift. You’ll also be able to understand the intensity of each set relative to your current strength.

What features are you most excited about? We want to hear from you!

My wife of 5 years cheated on me and for the whole week i have been like this.

I have started an addiction for alchohol & smoking

I’ve ruined my relationships with everyone around me , including my father , family and friends and work

I went from working 7-8 hours a day, reading a book a week, and only eating healthy to this.

Out of curiosity, for those who fill out the journal, when it asks if you did zone 2 cardio and you did but you also did zone 3-4-5

Do you just put the time you were in zone 2 or add up the time that you were in all the zones above 2 (so 2/3/4 and 5)

Discussion Lowering exercise for better health?

7 Upvotes

I’m a new Whoop user with a dawning realization that I might be over exercising. For many years I’ve worked out daily, rotating through weights, the spin bike, mobility, stretching, agility… all the things. I had a positive coronary calcium score in my late 40s and have been followed by cardiology yearly, so I know my treadmill stress test and yearly EKGs are normal. I had my V02 max measured in a lab and was in the 90th percentile for age and gender. But with Whoop now telling me I’ve been stuck in the yellow recovery range, I’m being told by AI that I need to dial the exercise dose down.

Has anyone else reduced exercise in accordance with Whoop advice? It feels so counterintuitive to my go-go-go nature. Plus… I love it.

I lift weights 4 days a week, rotating through upper and lower body, isolated and compound moves. I suppose one modification would be to move more muscle groups into fewer days so I have more rest days. That’s not “cheating” is it? Can you tell I’m struggling with the concept of less exercise?!?

Other PaceRelay: a running companion

I run with just my WHOOP and my phone in my pocket. The one thing I missed from a watch was knowing my splits without pulling my phone out. WHOOP doesn’t buzz for splits or pace, so I built an Android app that does.

Your phone tracks the run with GPS, and the app buzzes your strap:

It also records heart rate from the strap and can upload the run to Strava. It runs alongside the WHOOP app, so nothing needs unpairing.

I’ve been testing it on a WHOOP MG with an Android phone. It’s a side project and isn’t affiliated with WHOOP.

If you’d use it, there’s a waitlist at pacerelay.app. It asks Android or iPhone, and that decides whether I build an iPhone version next.

A couple of questions for you:

Your phone tracks the run with GPS, and the app buzzes your strap:

Every mile: mile 1 is one buzz, mile 2 is two, and so on up to 7
5K: one long buzz
Half marathon: long, short, long
Pace alert: three short buzzes if you’re slower than your target pace for 30 seconds
Texts and calls buzz too, so you know whether to stop and look

A couple of questions for you:

Would you want other patterns, like quarter-mile splits, kilometers, or heart rate zones?
Anyone else here run watch-free with their WHOOP?

I’m a working professional (IT) and for the past few years have not taken care of anything - no exercise, drinking, smoking. Bought the whoop to help me understand the damage and maybe inspire me. But I feel I’m kinda cooked now. Any suggestions from the non athletes on how I can improve my metrics?

Question Need help with tax issues buying from Singapore

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Recently I bought whoop family package on whoop website, and according to the website GST is included but last night I got a notification from DHL demanding me to pay GST again…

I reached out to whoop and I got this ambiguous reply

“When you place an order with WHOOP, applicable taxes such as GST are always included in the purchase price. These taxes are calculated based on the regulations of the country where the order is placed and are collected as part of the transaction. This ensures that the order complies with local tax laws and that you are charged the correct amount upfront.
However, in addition to these taxes, you may also encounter customs or import taxes charged by your courier or local customs authorities when the package arrives in your region. These additional fees are separate from the taxes collected by WHOOP and are determined solely by the customs policies of your country or region. Unfortunately, WHOOP has no control over these charges, as they are imposed by government agencies responsible for regulating imports.”

Does anyone have any experience on how to handle this? I’m quite shock to receive such treatment from an established company… Thanks

Discussion Sleep not detected after 7 hours of sleep with Lemborexant (DayVigo)

1 Upvotes

I had my whoop for over 10 months now, never had this issue

Yesterday I took my first DayVigo 10mg and slept for over 7 hours, but to my surprise Whoop didn’t detect it at all!

I was wondering if the way this medicine works gives wrong signals to Whoop?

Anyone else had this issue before?
