Health-coaching fitness bands have been competing nicely with more specc’d out smartwatches for a few years now, and Whoop has been the main driver of that. It’s then no surprise that the next iteration in the company’s range, Whoop 4.0, is getting plenty of hype thanks to a heavy list of features helping boost value for the personalised 24-7 digital fitness and health coach.
What’s the major change? There’s a few. The new technology leverages an upgraded sensor configuration for optimal accuracy and includes Whoop Body featuring Any-Wear technology – which is a first-of-its-kind range of smart apparel allowing users to wear their Whoop 4.0 band on multiple locations across the body.
Along with a list of meaningful in-app updates for a better experience, it’s looking like members who swear by Whoop’s effective way at motivating and encouraging regular exercise is going to come in handy for anyone trying to develop a better fitness routine at home.
Here’s a snapshot of the new features that will make Whoop 4.0 a wise choice for home fitness.
