Can you wear whoop in a sauna?

You’re committed to tracking your recovery, sleep, and strain with WHOOP, but you love relaxing in the sauna. The big question: can WHOOP handle that heat?

Imagine stepping into the sauna, only to worry if the high temperatures might damage your valuable fitness tracker.

Let’s explore whether WHOOP is sauna-safe and how you can enjoy both without compromise. 

Key Takeaways

• WHOOP 4.0 is not designed for the high temperatures of traditional or infrared saunas, which could damage the device.
• To protect WHOOP in a sauna, keep it away from hot surfaces, cover it with a towel, and limit your sauna time.
• WHOOP 4.0 is water-resistant and safe to wear in a hot tub, but avoids exposure to harsh chemicals.
• If WHOOP isn’t working after sauna use, ensure it’s dry, restart the device, and contact WHOOP support if needed.

What is whoop?

Whoop is a high-performance fitness tracker designed to help athletes and health-conscious individuals optimize their well-being. 

Unlike traditional wearables, Whoop has no screen, providing a distraction-free experience that tracks your body’s data 24/7.

It monitors key metrics like heart rate variability (HRV), sleep quality, and recovery, giving personalized coaching based on your unique data. 

Whether you’re an athlete, fitness enthusiast, or someone focused on improving daily habits, Whoop helps you understand your body better and reach peak performance. 

The Whoop 4.0 offers advanced features, including a wireless charging battery, waterproof design, and options to wear it on various parts of your body with Whoop Body apparel. 

Can you wear whoop in a sauna?

Wearing a WHOOP device in a sauna can potentially impact both its functionality and warranty. 

While WHOOP 4.0 is water-resistant and sweatproof with an IP68 rating, it is not designed for the high temperatures of traditional or infrared saunas. 

WHOOP recommends using the device within a temperature range of 15 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, but saunas often exceed these limits, with infrared saunas reaching 110-135°F and traditional ones going up to 195°F. 

Exposure to such heat could cause damage, potentially voiding the Lifetime Warranty due to improper use.

To protect your Whoop while using a sauna, ensure the strap stays away from hot surfaces and heating elements. 

Cover your Whoop with a towel to shield it from heat and sweat. Additionally, limit your sauna time to reduce exposure and safeguard the device.

Can you wear whoop in a hot tub?

Yes, you can wear a WHOOP 4.0 in a hot tub. The sensor is water-resistant up to 10 meters for 2 hours, making it suitable for water-based activities. 

However, avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals like detergents or sunscreen, as they may degrade the fabric.

What should you do if your WHOOP is not working after using the sauna?

If your WHOOP isn’t working after using the sauna, start by ensuring it’s completely dry. Sauna moisture can affect its functionality, so wipe the strap with a dry cloth and let it air dry completely. 

If that doesn’t help, try restarting the device to reset its systems. If problems persist, don’t hesitate to contact WHOOP support for further assistance. 

They can guide you through troubleshooting or arrange repairs if needed.
