Does Whoop integrate with Freeletics? I noticed that for one set workout Freeletics routine, it was picked up in Whoop as a functional workout.
No, it doesn’t. Whoop notices that you did in fact a workout - due to it’s sensor not because of an integration.
I would highly welcome an integration into whoop - but I guess it’s a whoop develop task. There’s a big difference concerning calculated intensity in a noticed or logged HIIT workout (with Whoop isn’t knowing what I do exactly) or the same workout using the Whoop Strength Trainer (whoop knows exactly what exercises I’m doing).
Ok, thanks for the update. That makes sense. Yes, using Strength Trainer on Whoop though not convinced the effort recoded is matching my perceived effort. Early days so will see how it goes.
Do tell, how should whoop integrate freeletics? The api is there, the data is there, freeletics needs to pull the data and offer recommendations based on it. Others do it already.
Disclaimer: I’m a user of both whoop and freeletics.
Whoop has a big lack of bodyweight exercises. Even if Freeletics would provide the data, Whoop would not be able to calculate the strain correctly.
Well. Since some updates back you can create your own custom exercises. Also - you can register strength trainer after workout is done now as well. So it is actually very straight forward…
- add the custom exercises in whoop
- create a workout in whoop that is identical to the workout in freeletics
- Do the workout with the freeletics app
- Afterwards; point the identified workout in whoop to the strength trainer workout you just executed
There is just a big missing thing in Whoop: a lot of exercises!
Try to add e.g. Leg Raises or Clapping Pushups
I use this link a Strength Training afterwards since integration - for those god workouts I’m able to create @whoop.
I did an Aphrodite right now. As recognised activity: strain of 10.5. After linking the created Aphrodite it was recalculated to 13.2.
This shows that it would be game changing if Whoop would be able to grasp all Freeletics Training Sessions - it isn’t but that’s a development point on Whoop’s side.
I want to use both, but seems like all the extra work is making me think about either whoop or freeletics. Whats more important to me? I am sure others are in the same boat.
Comparing Whoop with Freeletics is like comparing apples with oranges: you can do that, but you should realize that they are different things.
If you are interested in a personalised, role tailored training, Freeletics is the choice. If you are interested in health data (Stress, Sleep, HRV,…) and only in recommendation how intense a training should be, Whoop is your choice.
I’m working with both (and with Zwift, of course) and in order to calculate the exact strain of a workout, I do create the Freeletics god workouts as Strength Training.
