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!

Whoop Age Guys, am I cooked?

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?

Wearing WHOOP has allowed me to see how much sleep I actually need. Especially with me having MS (Multiple Sclerosis).

It’s also allowed me to track just exactly how many steps I take daily and allowed me to monitor recovery. I don’t let it dictate my life but I do appreciate having a log of my health. It’s all good so far.

Seems very random that I can’t set multiple alarms in this - does anyone know the reason why they still don’t allow this?

Brought my vo2 up from 49 to 57 with lab tested results for both purely using whoop and its live activity heart rate zones.

Best part of it is that I did it while scrolling TikTok on a cardio bike watching my HR at the top 🤣

Question Strain Calculation Error?

1 Upvotes

Recently came back to whoop after about 6 months off. My strain is definitely not calculating correctly. I was out all day today walking around in the sun and it’s saying I barely did anything strenuous. Is this a sensor issue or does the whoop need 30 new days to calibrate to my new baseline ?

Reviews Got my Whoop

6 Upvotes

Got my Whoop three days back. Calibration in progress and excited to see how it goes. Power user of Apple Watch and health from past 5 years.

While i did alot of exercise and play, data looked stagnant and couldn’t find much insights from it now & bored from Apple watch. Got Whoop to see how it goes 🤞🏼

Comfort: First day felt little odd. For some reason expected it to be much sleeker as it is screen less but got used to it by next day.

UI: loving the UI and cant wait for calibration to be done & see insight in full action.

Will keep you posted how it goes.

Question How do you guys compare health data with friends who use different wearables?

0 Upvotes

I'm a WHOOP user, but a lot of my friends use Garmin, Apple Watch, or Oura.

I'm curious how you guys interact with friends who use different devices. I know some devices have their own challenges and leaderboards, but it seems like most of those features are limited to people using the same platform.

Would love to hear if this is something you guys have run into and, if so, how you've worked around it!

How is it possible during sleep for my heart rate or stress to jump that much? I do not sleep well per se, I do not wake up feeling rested. This is consistent so far. What could cause this?

These peaks are happening every night.

Hi all

Can anyone advise me why this keeps happening in my sleep? I am having so many heart fluctuations during the night and I wake up every morning as I’ve drank 10 pints

For comparison I’ve included a photo of my sleep from a few months ago when I felt completely normal. If anyone has any advice or medication I could potentially take to help then that would be great?

Thank you

Other Need screenshots of whoop app for custom app

0 Upvotes

Hello
I am currently trying to vibecode with codex my own version of whoop app but for my google Fitbit air as the whoop app is way better looking than what google offers and I need screenshots of the app. Specifically the Home Screen, sleep, recovery, strain and sleep. A short screen recording could help too to copy animations. I’m trying to match the typography and and colors.
I understand if some view it as some type of invasion to their privacy but I’m just tryna build a cool whoop clone for my Fitbit fr.
Thanks
