Whoop founder Will Ahmed has shared his daily routine, revealing a lifestyle centered on meditation, intense workouts, and meticulous health tracking. He wakes at 6 or 6.30am, meditates first thing, and then often works out with his trainer, typically an hour-long weightlifting session.
Workouts and recovery
Ahmed uses his Whoop device to guide his exercise, aiming for high recovery scores throughout the week. When his body is rundown, he opts for a long walk or Barry's Bootcamp instead of a heavy session. He has also embraced contrast therapy, alternating between sauna and cold plunge, and steam and cold plunge, saying it makes him feel incredible.
Breakfast and diet
His breakfast is substantial: anywhere from three to eight eggs, crispy bacon, avocado, and fruit. He drinks plenty of water throughout the day and takes supplements based on his blood tests, noting his vitamin D levels often drop in Boston winters. His diet is Mediterranean, with a light lunch of salad and protein, and he drinks coffee twice a day, avoiding snacks between three big meals.
Meditation and evening routine
Ahmed has meditated daily for about 12 years, finding it invaluable for managing stress and mental fatigue. He leaves the office at 6 or 7pm to see his seven-month-old son before bed, then has dinner with his wife, often chicken or steak with rice and vegetables. He avoids eating within three hours of bedtime, as it reduces sleep quality, second only to alcohol in negative impact.
He religiously tracks his behaviours in the Whoop journal, including hydration, alcohol, and meal timing. In the evening, he wears blue light blocking glasses, which he calls a get-out-of-jail-free card for screen time, helping him fall asleep naturally.
Travel and philosophy
When travelling, Ahmed focuses on water, drinking hydrogen water, and maintains sleep consistency. His overall philosophy is positive, believing that staying positive and framing challenges as opportunities for growth leads to a happier, more directed life.
