WHOOP 5.0
At the heart of the WHOOP 5.0 and MG experience is a sleek new design that’s 7% smaller yet significantly more powerful, with enhanced sensors capturing data 26 times per second. Both devices boast an impressive 14+ day battery life, and with the new Wireless PowerPack, users can enjoy a full month of continuous monitoring without needing to recharge.

The standout innovation is WHOOP’s new Healthspan feature, which introduces “WHOOP Age” and “Pace of Aging”—metrics developed in collaboration with Dr. Eric Verdin of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. Unlike traditional wearables that focus on surface-level stats, Healthspan dives deep into nine physiological markers, providing a comprehensive view of long-term health and actionable steps to slow aging.
A doctor on your wrist…
Adding to the clinical-grade credentials is the Heart Screener with FDA-cleared ECG functionality. With WHOOP MG, users can take on-demand ECG readings and share them directly with healthcare providers—ideal for detecting conditions like atrial fibrillation (AFib). Meanwhile, Blood Pressure Insights offers an innovative wrist-based solution to estimate systolic and diastolic ranges, helping users understand how blood pressure affects performance and recovery.
WHOOP is also setting a new standard in women’s health with Hormonal Insights, integrating biometric data and cycle tracking to guide recovery, stress, and training based on hormonal fluctuations. It’s a thoughtful, science-backed approach that goes far beyond basic period tracking.

Don’t forget about sleep!
Sleep, often undervalued in health routines, gets an upgrade too. WHOOP’s Sleep Performance 2.0 offers more than just sleep duration—it analyzes sleep consistency, efficiency, and even “sleep stress,” giving users richer insights into how to recover and wake up ready to perform.
The new membership model makes these powerful tools more accessible. WHOOP One offers professional-grade insights at $199/year, WHOOP Peak delivers advanced longevity and performance data at $239/year, and WHOOP Life, the most comprehensive tier, includes medical-grade ECG and blood pressure insights for $359/year.
Even the aesthetic has been considered. WHOOP’s accessories lineup now includes premium options like LeatherLuxe bands, designed for all-day wearability and style. With WHOOP Body and Any-Wear™ technology, users can wear the device on various parts of the body without compromising data accuracy.

As Cristiano Ronaldo, a WHOOP ambassador, puts it: “It’s like a doctor on my wrist.” The WHOOP 5.0 and MG aren’t just fitness trackers—they’re full-spectrum wellness tools designed to help users perform better today and live healthier, longer lives tomorrow.
