This model didn’t work so well for a few years when Whoop released very few updates of any kind related to software or hardware. But this year, Whoop launched two new models, the Whoop 5.0 and the Whoop MG (8/10, Wired recommended). Through December 2, Whoop’s two top-tier subscriptions are discounted, as well as up to 70 percent off the new Whoop Band.

Before this year, Whoop charged $30 per month for all of its features, including Whoop’s proprietary Strain Score. This is a measurement based on the Borg scale of exertion, which is why I noted that this is the best fitness tracker for gym bros – it measures how hard you work at each activity, not how much activity you do per day. Walked 20,000 steps? Not good! Get back in the gym and do some weight lifting!
Right now, the Whoop 5.0 Peak plan is $40 off a 12-month subscription ($199, $40 off), which includes 5.0 with the new HealthSpan and Pace of Aging features. Whoop Life ($359/year) gets you Whoop MG, which unlocks cardiac features like ECG, Heart Screener, blood pressure monitoring, and AFib detection. Paying for the best and most interesting features behind a subscription sucks, but the current Whoop Life subscription costs the same as the basic sub, so it’s not really a price increase (and given discounts, it’s much cheaper).
