The feature, when combined with WITHINGS' most advanced scales,
offers an exceptional member experience, including instant syncing
with the WHOOP app and segmental composition.
WHOOP and WITHINGS share a deep commitment to building
cutting-edge technology, and the new feature makes it simple to
view weight management metrics and develop habits that keep them on
track towards their goals. By incorporating body composition and
weight trends alongside existing WHOOP metrics which span Strain,
Recovery, Sleep, and Stress, members can track progress against
their goals and get a more comprehensive, holistic view of how
their body compositions affect their biometrics and their overall,
long-term health.
What is Body Composition?
For those looking to change their body composition, whether
that's increasing muscle mass, decreasing fat, or maintaining where
they are, understanding the components of body composition are
essential. Lean body mass is defined as a combination of muscle,
bone, and water percentage. Body fat refers to fat that functions
as a source of stored energy, as well fat that plays an active role
in body function. Changing composition comes from adopting healthy
habits, like consistent sleep, wake times, meal times, and
exercise. Ideally, a healthy balance of fat and muscle is key to
improving your long-term health.
Body composition and weight trends tracking can give a more
accurate overall picture of the body, compared to other
calculations like Body Mass Index (BMI), which does not account for
factors such as lean muscle mass, fat mass, and bone mass. Balanced
body composition also has benefits such as reduced risk of chronic
diseases, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood
pressure.
“Our new Body Composition and Weight Trends feature will
transform the WHOOP experience for those looking to lose weight,
gain muscle mass, and monitor their body composition,” said Will
Ahmed, Founder and CEO of WHOOP. “We’re dedicated to providing the
most innovative tools and insights to help our members get a
comprehensive overview of their health every day. Partnering with
WITHINGS aligns perfectly with this commitment and will enhance the
data and trends we can identify for our members who are focused on
weight management.”
What are the new WHOOP Body Composition and Weight Trends
Features?
The new feature encompasses tracking and education around Body
Composition and Weight Trends metrics, providing WHOOP members with
a more well-rounded view of their health, including:
- Weekly, monthly, and 6-month Lean Body Mass and Weight Trends
and insights that pull in data from sources including WITHINGS app,
Apple Health, Google Health Connect, and can also be entered
manually.
- Members will be able to hide or highlight this data via
“personalize home” features by opting in to remove these metrics
from the Home + Coaching tabs or adding them to their Home
dial.
- Plus, we have added 4 new Strength Trainer workouts crafted by
our team to support our members on their journey towards improved
body composition by gaining muscle.
How does WITHINGS integrate with WHOOP?
Members can integrate their body composition and weight data –
like lean body mass and body fat percentage – into WHOOP to get the
trends, insights, and guidance that help them achieve their goals.
This can be done manually, or data can be pulled from the WITHINGS
app, Apple Health, or Health Connect.
Members with a WITHINGS Body Comp or Body Smart Scale can
automatically import weight, lean body mass percentage, and body
fat percentage into the WHOOP app. Those with a WITHINGS Body Scan
Scale can also see segmental body composition trends like fat and
muscle mass across arms, legs, and torso.
“Knowing your numbers and trends over time is crucial for
health. That’s why WITHINGS scales integrate powerful scans to
provide body composition tracking and daily analysis of key
biomarkers. We’re excited to have joined forces with WHOOP, as we
share a common desire to keep pushing boundaries in revolutionizing
healthcare.” said Éric Carreel, President and Founder of
WITHINGS.
