WHOOP

POV: You open WHOOP to log a workout, come across the activity “Hot Dog Challenge,” and you’re thinking “Is this seriously an activity I can log?!” Yes, this really is activity in the app. And the story on how it got there is actually a pretty good one. It actually started with a very serious debate: Who wins in a hot-dog-then-sprint race… Usain Bolt or Joey Chestnut? An elite sprinter vs an elite eater, who has the edge? What began as a ridiculous question between a few WHOOP employees turned into something much more interesting… a real performance experiment. Because at WHOOP, we can’t leave questions unanswered (especially the weird ones). So we added the activity to the app. The Hot Dog Challenge is exactly what it sounds like. You eat a hot dog, then measure what happens when you try to run. That will certainly put some strain on your body and it will all be captured in real data. This may have started as a joke, but it became a way to explore something real. How does your body respond when you fuel it… like that? The unexpected best part was the WHOOP community ran with it. Not only questioning why this was in the app, but also using it as a placeholder for other more explicit activities. So if you’ve been wondering… now you know. 🌭

We’re partnering with Paris Saint-Germain as the club’s Official Health & Fitness Wearable and a Premium Partner of both the men’s and women’s teams through 2029. At this level, performance is built across a system — shaped by how athletes train, recover, and adapt over time. Paris Saint-Germain is prioritizing a more complete view of that process, giving players and staff access to the physiological data behind every day. This partnership reflects a shared investment in applied performance science, turning continuous data into decisions that compound over a season. Together, we’re building visibility into what drives long-term performance.

ICYMI: Strength training matters for women at every stage—not just now, but over time. Last week, we brought together some of the WHOOP Research team and local [solidcore] coaches to talk about women’s strength and longevity at an intimate event for WHOOP members. The panel included WHOOP Sr Research Scientists, Summer Jasinski, Ursula Beattie, Ph.D. and [solidcore] Head Coach & Community Manager, Tiasa Kim. These women had a lively discussion, and focused on how strength training supports women at every stage—building a foundation early to support bone and joint health, adapting training through hormonal changes like perimenopause and menopause, and recognizing that consistency and recovery play as much of a role as effort. The takeaway we’re bringing to LinkedIn: train for what’s coming, not just what you can do today. After the panel, we closed the evening with a [solidcore] class at a studio near HQ—putting that into practice alongside our members.

Today marks a major step forward for WHOOP. We've raised $575m at a $10.1B valuation, but that's not the only marker of success we're celebrating today. An even bigger milestone is the 2.5 million members we're helping understand their bodies in a way most people never have -- who have changed how they sleep, how they recover, how they feel, and ultimately, how they live. People who've gotten years back they didn't know they were losing. This raise enables even more of that. More access. A more powerful platform. More healthy years. A more personal approach to health that reaches far more people than we've reached today. This raise isn't the milestone. It's fuel for what comes next. https://lnkd.in/eKfz8gRf

Behind every successful launch is someone willing to step in and make it happen. Last year, we had one of our biggest launches yet. Here’s how our PR specialist, Abby Murphy, stepped up. “During one of our biggest launches last year, I took full ownership of designing, ordering, and packing nearly 100 early-access PR boxes while balancing being a full-time student. Seeing our media exclusives go live on launch day, knowing I helped put our newest product directly into editors’ hands, was a defining moment. That experience changed how I see myself. I move faster, think bigger, and step in with confidence because I know the impact my work can have.” It’s this kind of initiative and confidence that turns defining moments into career-shaping growth.
