Whoop just made it much easier to keep your Peloton workouts in sync

The two apps can now share workout data automatically, including heart rate and key performance metrics.

If you wear a Whoop band and never miss your Peloton classes, keeping your workout history in order can feel like a workout of its own. You finish a Peloton ride and then have to make sure it shows up correctly in both apps. Thankfully, Whoop’s new Peloton integration takes care of this by syncing your activities between the two apps automatically.

How does the Whoop and Peloton sync work?

The integration works both ways. When you complete a Peloton class, it gets imported into Whoop in about a minute, so you never have to log the same workout twice. Depending on the activity, you can see your Whoop Strain and heart rate alongside Peloton details like the class name, instructor, distance, cadence, power output, and even a link back to the class.

It works the other way around too. Supported workouts recorded with Whoop, including the ones you do outside of Peloton, can sync to Peloton along with your Whoop heart rate data. So workouts you did away from Peloton can still show up in your Peloton history.

The best part is that you don’t need to own any Peloton equipment, just a Peloton account. You also don’t have to disconnect Apple Health or Health Connect to use it. That said, Whoop won’t import heart rate data recorded by Peloton, including readings from a chest strap you use with Peloton.

What happens if the same workout shows up twice?

If the same workout arrives from Peloton and another app like Strava or Apple Health, Whoop keeps the Peloton version. However, if you manually start or edit that workout in Whoop, the Whoop version takes priority, and you may not see Peloton details like the class name or instructor.

How do you connect Whoop and Peloton?

Open the Whoop app and go to More → App Settings → Integrations → Peloton. Tap Connect under Pull Peloton data into Whoop and sign in to your Peloton account. To sync the other way, tap Open Peloton under Share Whoop data with Peloton and follow the prompts. Once both show Connected, you are good to go. You can also sync in just one direction if you prefer.

Nothing might be taking on Meta with its own smart glasses
Viture Pro 2 smart glasses

Nothing has already made a name for itself with smartphones, earbuds, and other accessories that look a little different from everything else on the market. Now, the company may be preparing to add another product category to its lineup: smart glasses.

According to Roland Quandt, who shared the details on Bluesky, Nothing is working on two different types of smart glasses. One will reportedly focus on audio, letting you listen to music and take calls, while the other could offer a built-in camera, ChatGPT integration, and translation features. While Nothing hasn't officially confirmed either product, the leak gives us an early idea of what the company might be planning.

Samsung Health now needs just 3 days of sleep data to coach you toward better sleep
Samsung is making its Sleep Coaching feature easier to access while adding more personalized advice and clearer sleep reports.
Samsung health sleep tracking

Samsung is making it much easier to get started with Sleep Coaching in the Samsung Health app. With its latest update, you only need three days of sleep data from the past two weeks to begin, down from seven days in a month.

I think that’s a welcome change. Sleep Tracking only tells you how you slept, while Sleep Coaching tries to help you build better sleep habits. Lowering the requirement means you reach the more useful feature much sooner.

Fitbit Edge gives me more features, but my money’s still on the Fitbit Air
Fitbit Edge vs Fitbit Air: Sometimes, less really is more
Google Fitbit Edge launched

I'll admit, Google's new Fitbit Edge looks on par with some of the great fitness bands coming out of China. It takes everything I appreciate about traditional Fitbit trackers and wraps it in a sleek design and better polish. You get a 1.34-inch Hybrid OLED display, built-in GPS, ECG support, and a physical button. Google has even made the battery replaceable, something I genuinely appreciate in an era when most wearables become disposable once their batteries deteriorate.

For $179.99, the Edge seems to be reasonably priced too. However, the more I think about what I'd actually want from a fitness tracker, the more I lean towards Google's $99.99 Fitbit Air. Believe it or not, the lack of a display is also the Air's biggest strength.
