The reason I say that is because Whoop already auto-categorizes most of my workouts virtually spot-on. In fact, the best way to demonstrate this is actually a non-workout workout. But ultimately, you probably won’t notice much difference. So basically, I’ve got boatloads of examples. Meaning that Whoop is doing its thing, but I’m recording the workout on another device (Garmin/Wahoo/Polar/Peloton/etc…). Now, in all my workout cases, I’m usually dual-recording.

In any case, assuming all that’s done, then it’s time to do a workout. If you want to double-check that a workout from a 3rd party is showing up in Apple Health, do this:ĥ) Then all the way down again to “Show All Data”Ħ) You’ll now see a list of recorded workouts sent to Apple Health, like this (or, if you go back one step and tap ‘Data Sources & Access’ you’ll see a list of apps): Keep in mind that sometimes you have to open and close an app before it writes it to Apple Health. Again, each app does this differently, but I’m successfully pulling in data from Garmin, Wahoo, Polar, Peloton, and Suunto data to Apple Health. One thing you’ll want to validate before you go too far down this road is whether or not the device/app you use is configured to send the data to Apple Health. I could see validity in making it a bit more clear that it’s actually connected at this point. Once successfully connected, the ‘Connect’ button will go away. You’ll notice that at this time Whoop is only reading from Apple Health, and hasn’t requested any permissions to write to Apple Health. It’ll pop-up a message like so:Īssuming this is what you want, you’ll then need to do the standard acceptance from Apple Health that the Whoop app can access your data. Mine just popped up randomly last Wednesday. I have no idea how Whoop decides on that. The first step (aside from having an iPhone), is having the Whoop app invite you to the beta feature. There continues to be no method to nullify those within the Whoop platform. While the newer Whoop 4.0 sensor is massively improved over the Whoop 3.0 band, there’s still plenty of cases that could use love.Īnd further, this doesn’t address the issue of phantom strain, or imaginary workouts/strain (to which I’ve seen multiple cases of just in the past week alone). I had hoped we’d see Whoop import (and overwrite) the HR data, because that would fill in the accuracy gaps on the Whoop sensor. And without HR, Whoop won’t calculate any strain values. Meaning, you must still wear the Whoop band in order for HR to be displayed. However, one big item not pulled in today is heart rate data. Specifically, both the exact timing (start/end times), as well as the exact sports identified, and even GPS data (including distance)ī) Automatically import weight/height, date of birth (including updates to the weight) There’s two main purposes of this feature today, they are:Ī) Improve the automatic classification of workouts within the Whoop app/platform. But that’ll all change soon, which I detail down below. And it’s only one-way from Apple Health to Whoop (not the other way). And also, it’s just Apple Health (meaning, just iOS). Now first up – as noted, this is still a limited beta, thus roll-out is…well…limited. And in the case of Strava, Fitbit does feed them, so technically you can even use a Fitbit here too. That includes basically everyone but Fitbit, so be it Garmin, Suunto, Polar, Wahoo, Peloton, Apple, and….Strava. This means you can now complete a workout on any device that feeds into Apple Health. Last week Whoop started rolling out, in beta, a new feature that allows external workouts to be synced into the Whoop platform, via Apple Health (on iOS).
