Amazing Podcast

This podcast is incredible. Love all the hosts and guests. Kristin Holmes is a fantastic scientist and is incredible at her job, but if she keeps talking over people that she’s interviewing and interrupting them, I’m going to rip my hair out.

Horrible business with horrible customer service

I only had my whoop for two months and stopped charging completely, I got second charger and it’s not working either, doesn’t go beyond 20% why did I pay for whole year if your devices don’t work, they useless now, I cancelled my membership and still have 8 months to go with non working device. Very frustrating and horrible customer service because no one cares, I was listening to this podcast and decided to give it to try but whoop company doesn’t have dissent people who care about their customers

Podcast is amazing. Their product invaluable

The podcast and the wearable will tesch you to give your body and mind what they need to thrive. 11/10 for both. Been using my whoop for a month (newbie here) and already am seeing how my work affects my stress levels and sleep even on days where I thought I was in better shape than I was. The body keeps the score and whoop helps you improve that score.
