Why Whoop's policy change has fans fuming
Briefly

Recent product launches in the fitness tech space have stirred significant reactions, notably from Whoop's new fitness bands which introduced a controversial subscription model. Current users are unhappy, feeling deceived after Whoop changed its stance on hardware upgrades that were previously promised for free. In stark contrast, Oura is focusing on new features that enhance metabolic health. These developments have led to community outcry and discussions on corporate practices, highlighting the challenges brands face in maintaining user trust amid evolving business models.
Whoop's new fitness bands and subscription structure have not impressed current users, with many expressing disappointment over the backtracking on promised free hardware upgrades.
The Whoop community, known for its loyalty, is reacting strongly to the new pricing and subscription tiers, with some calling it a 'corporate rug pull' and planning to cancel.
