As a fitness writer who has tested countless wearables, I can confidently say the Whoop 5.0 band has had the most profound impact on my health. It didn't just track my stats; it set my entire wellbeing on a clear upward path. Now, in a limited-time offer for Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2025, you can get this revolutionary device for less, with up to £60 off its annual membership fee.
Transforming Sleep and Performance with Data
The true power of the Whoop 5.0 lies in its ability to identify trends and correlations. Its journal feature lets you log daily habits, and the band then crunches thousands of data points into simple, digestible scores for recovery, strain (activity), and sleep. This process allowed me to pinpoint exactly which behaviours were helping or hindering my goals.
For me, the positive changes included establishing a more regular sleep schedule, finding a way to grant myself an extra 15 to 30 minutes in bed each night, and learning to periodically ease back on intense training. The result? My sleep quality improved more than it had in years. Conversely, the band's feedback, aligned with my own feelings, showed that some supplements I was taking were unnecessary.
I'll admit, this level of detailed biofeedback isn't for everyone. But for fitness enthusiasts juggling busy work and social lives, the insights are both incredibly useful and fascinating.
Cyber Monday 2025: The Biggest Whoop Discount Yet
If you're intrigued, now is the time to act. The brand's Cyber Weekend deals offer significant savings, with my top pick being the mid-tier membership. The Whoop 5.0 12-month peak membership has been reduced from £229 to £189. This makes it far more affordable than the premium 'life' membership, usually £349 (down to £289 for the sale).
The peak membership still includes standout features like the new 'Healthspan' tool, a favourite of The Independent's health and wellbeing editor Emilie Lavinia. This feature calculates your physiological age based on metrics like sleep consistency, daily steps, heart-rate zones, and strength training.
Expert Verdict and Long-Term Savings
In her five-star review, Emilie Lavinia called the investment a "no-brainer." She noted improvements in her sleep, VO2 max, and daily step count during testing, gaining a better understanding of how her body responded to stress and exercise. She also praised the ability to log activities and habits comprehensively.
For those committed long-term, there are also discounts on 24-month memberships: Whoop peak is down from £384 to £344, and Whoop life from £589 to £529. These require a larger upfront investment but offer greater savings over time. The brand is also offering 20% off accessories, perfect for replacing a worn strap.
These Black Friday deals from Whoop started on 28 November and, unlike many offers that end on Cyber Monday (1 December), will run until Tuesday, 2 December 2025, giving you a little extra time to decide.
