- Hey Guys!!
Happy HOLIDAYS!
I have had a ton of comments on the "accessories" on my wrist. One is an Apple Watch and the other is my WHOOP!
Thought I would break it down a little bit, and tell you my likes and dislikes. Definitely has gone better this second time around wearing one!
Hope you enjoy this! A little bit different from the workout VLOGS, but I really want to show you guys everything that goes into the training lifestyle!!

I ordered one a couple days ago .. Specifically to monitor strain .. This is the best video I’ve seen reviewing it
I love your channel, varied content and I love that's it's not interrupted by ads every 2' like Tia's. Keep doing the good work!
Best review I've found! Thank you! Love the fact they aren't sponsoring you... but they should, because this is better than anything they sponsor! All the best.
Great to see an objective review. A lot I have looked at appear to be sponsored so I was after unbiased opinions. Thanks.
Thank you for your review. I have thinking of getting one for the past year. Your comments about the day strain sold me. My job can be stressful and I have always wondered how much of an effect it had on my body.
The best review - straight to the point. Thanks! I will def get one.
Just got mine and appreciate your candid review of the complete application of the WHOOP - beyond pure exercise monitoring - and also the watch out on overreading red.
Great review. What you did was just describe the difference between good stress and bad stress and they both affect your immunity in different ways. The fact you are able to identify this via the Whoop is great and allows you to make those mental adjustments necessary to clear the mental clusters causing the stress. Dr. Jenna Macciochi just published a book called "Immunity, the Science of Staying Well" and she covers this in it. I just finished reading the book and to hear you describe the effects on you and being able to identify them using the Whoop is very cool and really provides the credibility I was looking for. I just purchased the Whoop yesterday so thank you very much for the honest feedback of the device. Happy training!!
Definitely appreciate an honest review on the whoop! Thanks
Thank you for watching!!
Finally i short and clear review thanks
Almost 15 months for me on Whoop! I liked what you said about waiting to check your recovery score and sleep till after your first workout, etc. Sometimes if you have an important day and you wake up to a red it isn't the first thing you want to see and it can dictate possibly a change in mindset. Going to give that a try!
Yes, that's what you don't want at all. The mental game is such an important piece!
For me, this reason is kind of my reason for not getting it. If I just work out, eat well, and sleep well then I don't see too much use for a whoop or any band really. Also, based on what you've said in the video, you can basically just predict your recovery depending on your own mental/physical stress.
Amazing! keep up the good work!! I have a whoop as well, very accurate review tbh
Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying it!
Great information.You and YOUR FAMILY have a great THANKSGIVING.
Thanks!! I hope you and your family does as well!!
I’m coming up on three years of Whoop, certain unavoidable lifestyle things prevented me from sleeping as much as I needed (graveyard shifts) but I used it more as a means to get by physically and have an idea of when to stop
Happy thanksgiving, like the beanie cap
Its NOBULL! Happy Thanksgiving as well!
Love the data from Whoop. I never start an activity, another thing I like, and it always seems to pick it up for me. On the other hand, days that I do NOTHING, it can list my day strain at 20, and recovery the next day super low. Still learning with it.
There is def some pros and cons to it! Glad you're enjoying it!
Hi
Really excited to see this review.. one on its way to the UK for a Christmas gift can’t wait to get it 😊
Hope you love it!
Per Usch Awesome Info Gurrl! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you for doing this Whoop review! I have had mine for a few months now and I have to say it is interesting to be able to learn more about your body and how your mental state effects your strain. I am loving my Whoop strap and am excited to see where else this piece of tech can go.Happy Thanksgiving!
Exactly!! Have a happy thanksgiving as well!
Thanks for the good info. I appreciate your positiveness in all you do.
Thank you for watching!!!
Best Whoop explanation!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great review!
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you enjoy your day and have blessed time with your family.
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your day as well!
I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks now and really like it. However I didn’t really notice a difference in my day strain based on how stressful the day was for me.
Great Video Thanks for the advice
Thank you for watching! Hope it helps!
Great info!
This is great, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a very accurate honest review. I wear a whoop but am not by any means an amazing athlete. I love cycling and I go when I can. One of the most interesting things about Whoop for me is the day strain (as pointed out). Psychologically you can wake up and feel like you have had a bad nights sleep and are stressed but the whoop can tell you "hey you're ready to take on strain and rock the day" and you know its always right.
i know im randomly asking but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
@Will Duncan instablaster ;)
@Harley Creed thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out atm.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Harley Creed it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass !
@Will Duncan No problem xD
Did you not know you were sick?
I can not recover on whoop I am always in the red and yellow I drink all kinds of water and am getting 80% on sleep.
I am getting frustrated just want to be in the green lol great video .
Any advice will be appreciated
Do you think this will benefit someone, who struggles to commit to a training schedule and diet? In the turns of a motivation tool. I go from periods where I'm consistent and then go off the track quite easily, which has being denting my progress and confidence.
Great Video, How accurate would you say is the Respiratory Feature? I do lots of breathing exercises and breath holds where my BRPM are 3-6 rather than the typical 12-20. I also do some free diving not sure if the whoop would work for those diagnostics> I recently returned a Garmin diving watch because of its erroneous Respiratory feature (never dropped lower than 10) anyhow thanks for the advice
Just started using it and I find the metrics pretty straightforward to interpret. I do wish it would recommend what do to (hydrate, take a nap, eat more, etc.) When my recovery level is low. Also I like the questions it asks like sex, sauna, taking melatonin, etc.
Chill its not your personal servant 😅
Pro triathlete here so I feel like I’m fairly in tune with my body. Just tired whoop 3.0 for a month. It’s good but not worth keeping. Sleep tracking seemed very good. Calorie count is way off (not that I was using for that purpose). What was disappointing was that I didn’t feel like it was providing an accurate snapshot of daily stress outside of training. Days where I trained hard and then sat around recovering were sometimes higher than hard training days where I was chasing around my toddlers all afternoon and I clearly was more stressed. I think it’s a good product and a nice interface but I’ll stick with tracking my data other ways - IMO sometimes going with an honest assessment from your gut is the best approach.
Great feedback! Always love to hear other athletes opinion on them as well!
Do y’all think the heart rate during the day is kind of off somewhat often? I dunno. I could have a hard run, 10 miles at a 6:15 pace and my highest heart rate of the day is when I’m cutting a watermelon in the kitchen 4 hours after the run??? I dunno lol. Enjoyed your review.
Superb👌
Yup ordering one now lol
Have had mine for four months- enjoy the data, don’t like the monthly subscriptions- won’t be renewing but do like the info it gives
Yes, that is a downside for sure!!
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell so the monthly subscription is a must, forever...? damn...
@KE... Thanks for sharing... 👊🏽
Can you or anyone else tell me if there’s a GPS and Heart rate component for tracking runs? Also. Is this something you’re able to or often wear during WODs with barbell movements ?
Hi!
I rarely take this off. Thats one of the pros to it! Barbell, cleans, press, you will see it on me in most of my vids!
I’m thinking about getting a whoop
Very good review
Thank you!
I suppose one or two red days are fine but consecutive red days aren’t?
Do you know if the Whoop is water proof?
Hey Kristi I was just wandering what’s your opinion on the whoop vs your Apple Watch? And if you had to choose one to buy which would you choose?
They are both such different tools! Love my watch for everyday life, and love the whoop for training!
Kristi Eramo ahh fair enough yeah that’s sort of the conclusion I’ve come to just gotta decide which one now. Thank you for replying
You don't need service or start the activity in the app. You can add activities later.
Thanks for letting me know!
Love my whoop
Same!
How much is it!!??
it's a monthly payment forever? does it worth the extra bucks? all fitness trackers are one-time payment.
loved your inputs.
You can do the one time payment yes!
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell oh hi :)
I could not see it on the site, one time payment for life?
I'll check again.
At least in Europe, I see it as 25 euro per month X 6 months minimum so after six months you need to renew the subscription...
Is it different in the US?
@@itzikhillel I think it is a sub, but you can find a voucher, and then pay for 18 months to get the best value.
@@itzikhillel I realize this comment is late but it might be relevant to someone else who sees it later.
The lifetime subscription membership is only offered to Whoop profiles of the early adopters (the people who paid $500 back in the day for the original Whoop band) Everyone else only has the option of death by a thousand cuts.
I like the concept but not for $30 a month
Never really paid much attention to the device but, after your quick review, I have to say there is nothing better than relying on how you feel without the intrusion of autonomous biometric guidance. It seems very gimmicky and for some a very addictive crutch that would be hard to break free of.
100% it can be something you can get hooked on!
Can you wear it while showering or taking baths?
Yes you can wear it in water. The only exception is you can't wear it in water when the battery charging pack is attached.
I had one but sent it back. It’s best to trust the feeling of your own body
100% Understand that!
Kristi Eramo however the reason I sent it back was because It seemed a little to complicated for me. I would possibly try it again but I don’t like the membership. Just sell the device.
Do the whoop beep or alarm you some how if your in the red? Does the band vibrate or any thing?
I just don't like the monthly subscriptions. Good video as always.
Yes, that is something different. But I did it all up front!
Great presentation!
1.calories burned is incorrect
2. Heart rate usually off by 20-60 beats
the people who disliked use apple watch , etc.
If you're not following the numbers to dictate how you should train, doesn't that defeat the purpose?
Its a learning tool for sure.
You are too funny. You were sick and Whoop was telling you something was wrong. And you stop using it. No you are much better with it. You are still fighting it. I bet you were the last to believe the Corona 🦠 was real.
Love my whoop
Whoops are great!!
How accurate do you think they really are
