May 2026
A deeper integration with Strava
May 21
WHOOP and Strava now work better together. Activities recorded on Strava import into WHOOP automatically. So do activities that other devices route through Strava — a run with another wearable device, an indoor ride from Zwift, a lift logged in Hevy.
Each imported activity can carry:
- GPS, distance, pace/speed for cardio activities (when available).
- Power and cadence when the original device captured them.
- Exercises with sets, reps, and weights when the activity is strength training and the source app logged that detail.
- Source attribution — "Garmin Via Strava" when another device routed through. You can see where the data came from on the activity details screen.
- If an activity overlaps something WHOOP already recorded, WHOOP keeps the version with the richer data. No duplicates.
What flows from WHOOP into Strava
Any activity recorded on WHOOP can flow to Strava. In the Strava integration settings page, you can choose to have all activities shared to Strava, specific activity types shared, or you can share one-off via the Activity Details page. If you enable Strength Trainer workouts you record on WHOOP to flow to Strava, then WHOOP will share the full structure of the session,
In the Strava feed, your strength workouts show up with:
- The list of exercises you performed, with weights
- Total volume lifted
- Muscle groups worked, rendered as a muscle map
- WHOOP attribution as the source

How WHOOP and Strava work together
Workout detection and labels, even more accurate
May 20
Workout Auto-Detect and Auto-Classify both got smarter. The latest release reflects a step forward in both the scale of data and the sophistication of the AI models behind workout detection.
Recent improvements focus on areas that have historically been harder to detect and classify:
- More accurate detection of strength training and functional fitness
- Better identification of lower-strain, sustained activity
- Fewer workouts labeled as generic “Activity” due to improved classification confidence
- Increased consistency across age groups and fitness levels
The updated system was trained on a larger, more diverse dataset and a new generation of advanced machine learning models that better understand your workouts.
How WHOOP detects and labels your workouts
See your strength improving, exercise by exercise
May 20
Strength Trainer now shows volume, history, and personal records for each exercise you log. See your volume, history, and personal records for each exercise so you can understand how your strength is progressing over time.
The Exercise Details page is accessible from both live Strength Trainer workouts and Activity Details, making it easy to review technique, load progression, and performance anytime. Exercise-level insights support safe progression, better form, and clarity on your strength and effort across specific movements.
Coaching that remembers
May 1
WHOOP learns what matters to you, from your goals to your routines, to how you like to be coached. WHOOP uses that to give you guidance that applies to your life. My Memory is where all of that lives. You can see what WHOOP knows about your life, add details to make your coaching more relevant, or delete anything you don't want stored. My Memory shows the personal context behind your guidance, organized across categories:
- Goals: what you're working toward
- Identity: what makes you you – what you do day to day, your family, location
- Lifestyle: your routines and habits
- Preferences: how you want to be coached
- Events: what's coming up
- Health History: how conditions, injuries, or illnesses impact you
- Mood: how you feel day to day
Everything in My Memory is yours to manage. You can view it, add to it, edit it, or remove it. You can also turn memory off entirely. WHOOP automatically keeps your Memory up-to-date. As your life changes, WHOOP will remember temporary patterns or things about you, like past sickness, but won’t actively coach you on them.

Muscular load for outdoor and adventure activities
April 22
Automatic muscular load estimation now covers 14 more activities, including rock climbing and bouldering, alpine and cross country skiing, ski touring, rowing, kayaking, canoeing, wakeboarding, water skiing, kiteboarding, snow shoveling, manual labor, and wheelchair pushing. If you climb, paddle, ski, or shovel out after a storm, your Activity Strain now reflects the muscular effort you put into these activities.
How WHOOP measures muscular load
Bloodwork that goes deep on a specific health area
April 16
Five Specialized Panels are now available — Heart Health, Performance, Metabolic, Women’s Health, and Men’s Health. Each goes deeper than standard bloodwork on one specific area, with 77 to 90 biomarkers, including advanced markers not typically tested. Results integrate with your WHOOP data and include a licensed clinician walkthrough.
All five Specialized Panels are $299 per panel. One-time purchase, no subscription required. FSA/HSA eligible. Testing is powered exclusively by Quest® Diagnostics at 2,000+ locations nationwide. Book directly through the WHOOP app, no referral, no waiting for your doctor to order it.

Turn every run, ride, or hike into a shareable snapshot
April 3
Record any GPS-tracked activity and WHOOP builds a visual summary of your distance, duration, and pace. Share it directly from the app, or export with a transparent background to drop into your own content.
Access the shareable graphics by scrolling down on the Activity Details page, and tapping the share icon in the top right corner of your activity map.

See which habits are paying off
March 25
Behavior Trends and Behavior Insights give you a new way to connect your daily habits to your Recovery. Calendar views show when and how often you log each behavior, making it easy to spot consistency, streaks, and gaps. Once you’ve logged a behavior at least 5 times “yes” and 5 times “no” within 90 days, Behavior Insights show how that habit is associated with changes in your Recovery. Curious whether dairy affects your Recovery? Or whether your dog sleeping in your room makes a difference? Now you can see it.
Open your Journal or Recovery and tap Insights to start exploring.

Advanced Labs test results now reflect your menstrual cycle
March 4
If you use Menstrual Cycle Insights, your Advanced Labs results now show cycle-phase-specific reference ranges for Estradiol, LH, and FSH. Instead of generic ranges, you see what’s normal for where you are in your cycle. Available automatically for members with MCI enabled.
AI links your exercises after you lift
March 5
Finished a strength workout? WHOOP AI can now identify and link the exercises you did, connecting them to your activity for a more detailed muscular load breakdown. No manual logging required.

- AI Workout Generation — build custom workouts through WHOOP AI, just share your goals, equipment, muscle groups, or limitations.
- WHOOP AI → Strength Trainer — lower-friction exercise linking powered by AI
- Passive MSK for Strength — automatic muscular load estimation for weightlifting, functional fitness, HIIT, and 8 more activity types.
How WHOOP measures muscular load.
See your strength over time
February 20
Two updates for tracking strength training trends. This new Trend View shows your Strength Activity Time patterns at weekly, monthly, and 6-month periods. . And you can now set a Strength Activity Time goal in your Weekly Plan, the same way you set Strain or Sleep goals.
Heart rate accuracy, improved
February 25
A new signal processing algorithm improves heart rate tracking across a range of conditions. You won’t see a new screen or feature, but the data behind your Recovery, Strain, and Sleep is more precise. The kind of improvement that makes everything else more trustworthy.
