WHOOP Unveils WHOOP® 5.0 And WHOOP® Mg: Powerful New Devices With Breakthrough Health And Longevity Features

As a leading brand in the world of sports these new WHOOP devices mark a significant step forward in how wearable technology helps professional and amateur athletes optimize performance and tailor their lifestyles based on real-time physiological insights.

WHOOP, the human performance company and title partner of the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, introduces WHOOP 5.0 and WHOOP MG — two next-generation wearables designed to unlock a new approach to personal health and longevity.

Paired with a redesigned WHOOP experience, the devices offer 14-day battery life in a sleeker, seven percent smaller form - and introduce category-defining features, including Healthspan with WHOOP Age, Heart Screener with on-demand ECG, Blood Pressure Insights, and more.

“This isn’t just a product launch. It’s a new chapter for WHOOP and for our members.ˮ said Will Ahmed, WHOOP Founder & CEO. “Weʼve taken everything weʼve learned over the past decade and built a platform to help our members perform and live at their peak for longer. Weʼve held nothing back.ˮ

Trusted by many elite riders competing in the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, including stars like Mathieu Van der Poel and Puck Pieterse, WHOOP has become a go-to platform for monitoring performance, recovery, sleep, and training metrics.

As a leading brand in the world of sports — and particularly within cycling — these new WHOOP devices mark a significant step forward in how wearable technology helps professional and amateur athletes optimize performance and tailor their lifestyles based on real-time physiological insights. 

NEW HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE IN-APP FEATURES

  • Healthspan with WHOOP Age: a powerful new way to quantify your physiological age and slow your Pace of Aging. Developed in partnership with Dr. Eric Verdin, CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, this feature uses 9 different metrics linked to long-term health to calculate your WHOOP Age and Pace of Aging. This feature is not available for users under the age of 18.

  • Heart Screener with ECG: an FDA-cleared ECG feature that allows reading to be taken anytime, from your wrist — and shared directly with a healthcare provider. The Heart Screener detects signs of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), a leading cause of stroke, and provides Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications (IHRN) for greater peace of mind. This feature is not intended for users with known arrhythmias other than AFib or users under 22 years old. It is not recommended for users with a cardiac pacemaker, ICDs or other implanted electronic devices. This is a medically regulated feature and is not currently available in every region.

  • Blood Pressure Insights: A patent-pending technology that delivers daily blood pressure insights, right from your wrist. Get estimated systolic and diastolic readings and learn about how blood pressure affects wellbeing and performance. Blood Pressure Monitor is not a medical device and cannot diagnose or manage medical conditions. It does not provide medical advice. Always consult your doctor for health concerns and never delay or modify medical care based on its information.

  • Womenʼs Hormonal Insights: WHOOP goes beyond cycle tracking to deliver science-backed education and personalized insights on how hormonal shifts influence recovery, sleep, stress, and performance. Menstrual Cycle Insights should not be used for birth control or fertility tracking. The ovulatory phase indicators are estimates only. Menstrual Cycle Insights is not a medical device and cannot diagnose or manage medical conditions. It does not provide medical advice. Always consult your doctor for health concerns and never delay or modify medical care based on its information.

  • Sleep Performance Update: Unlock better nights and better days. The reimagined Sleep Score delivers a more accurate reflection of sleep quality, helping members recover more effectively and show up stronger each day.

  • Comprehensive Fitness Tracking: From daily steps and VO₂ Max to Muscular Strain during strength training and 145+ supported activities, members can now optimize fitness for both performance and long-term health outcomes.

HARDWARE, REIMAGINED FOR PERFORMANCE AND PRECISION:

  • Precision Sensors. Smaller Design. Greater Power. WHOOP 5.0 and MG pack more technology into a 7% smaller form factor. Enhanced sensors capture data 26 times per second, while a redesigned processor delivers 10x more power efficiency — enabling richer insights without sacrificing battery life or comfort.

  • 14+ Day Battery Life. New Wireless PowerPack: 14+ days per charge across WHOOP 5.0 and MG hardware. Now, members with their device alongside the new Wireless Powerpack have access to a full month of battery life. Wireless PowerPack is offered with Peak & Life Memberships. Wired battery pack available on One.

  • Elevated Accessories: Complete the experience with a new line of WHOOP accessories — including the new LeatherLuxe, crafted from genuine Italian leather for our most premium look and feel yet.

  • 24/7 Wearability: WHOOP remains the only wearable thatʼs truly wearable — designed for 24/7 use across multiple locations on the body. Powered by WHOOP Body and AnyWear™ technology, WHOOP technical garments seamlessly integrate with your device to capture data with unmatched precision — no matter your sport, lifestyle, or movement.

    CHOOSE YOUR EXPERIENCE:

To make these innovations even more accessible, WHOOP is also introducing three new membership tiers. These tiers empower WHOOP members to choose the hardware device, features and pricing that make the most sense for them:

  • WHOOP One: Professional-grade fitness insights.
  • WHOOP Peak: Advanced health, fitness and longevity insights designed to help you perform at your peak, longer.
  • WHOOP Life: The most powerful WHOOP ever, delivering medical-grade health and performance insights.
