In the sea of almost identical Fitness trackersWhoop stands separately. Ever since it started in 2012, the company has understood that the hardware has been secondary to software. For expensive monthly membership, you get access to a (theoretically) endless series of new features in the app whoop, and the company launches the small, stationary sensor for free.
This once was Pretty good bargeBut for the past several years, whoop hasn’t done much. In 2023, the company released its Opena-operated personality fitness service, a Whoop trainer. As with most other AI-enabled fitness services, you had to think really about how to frame your questions to get useful advice. I didn’t find it especially helpful.
This year, the company has finally released an updated cavity that comes with the beauty of new features that make it a much more versed tracker for people who do not post their earnings daily. Most notably, it has a proprietary algorithm for tracking blood pressure. I’m testing the new whoop MG for a few weeks now, and it reminded me why people like this tracker so much.

If you do not know whoop tracker, it is small portable with Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors to measure body rhythm and heart rate (HRV); accelerometers to measure movement, stress and activity; and skin temperature sensors to capture variations during sleep or recovery. The new whiop units are smaller and reportedly more powerful than the last, though I do not arrive anywhere near the required 14-plus days of battery life. In 21 days, I had to load it twice.
It does not have on board GPS. It’s not Super-Annowing, considering that, you know, it doesn’t even have a screen, so I’m not correctly using the WHOOP to watch my rhythm. But you Do Must use GPS on your phone to unlock some features in the app whoop, as a more correct VO2 Max. (Just alternate “trace” in the app when you start logging in.) You can also insert the whoop in Whoop body clothes.
Whoop sent the new MG -Training -BRA ($ 59) And Training pants ($ 54)Who caught my data as I ran and rowed, but if you return to the Whoop customer, you need the new clothes of whoop because the MG is smaller than the last iteration, the Whoop 4.0.
It is also important to note that whoop has changed its membership structure. You used to pay a blanket $ 30 per month membership fee for everything whoop had to offer, but now features are paid behind an equity subscription plan. Whoop One ($ 199/year) gets you the regular WHOOP 5.0, which is the update of the Whoop 4.0, whoop coach, and sleeping, stress and recovery. Whoop Peak ($ 239/year) gets you the Whoop 5.0 with the new HealthSpan and rhythm of aging features, and whoop Life ($ 359/year) get you the new Whoop MG, which unlocks the new heart functions like ECGs, heart screens, monitoring blood pressure and bleeding.
