Goal tracking

Track progress against almost anything

The ultimate aim is to let you set goals and track progress against any metrics collected by your WHOOP strap. From strain to sleep, resting to max heart rate and anything in between: if your WHOOP records it, we want you to be able to track progress against it.

Not just cumulative totals

Cumulative total goals—where you set your sights on hitting a certain minimum target—are great, and at fitIQ we love them. But we also believe goal tracking can be so much more, especially with WHOOP. That’s why we not only support cumulative totals but also support setting goals against certain maximum and average metrics, too.

Maximum goals help you push your limits as a one-off within a week, month or a year. A bit like a weightlifting one-rep-max, you don’t necessarily want to hit these too often but you want to celebrate when you do. Aiming for a maximum day strain or heart rate are great examples of this.

Average goals help you aim for consistency against metrics where totals don’t make sense. Keeping your average resting heart rate under a certain target is a great example of this.

Aim high or aim low

Where it makes sense, fitIQ goals let you aim for keeping a metric under certain threshold instead of trying to exceed it. A good example of this is daily and maximum heart rates: you might ordinarily want to aim to go over a BPM threshold but if you want to encourage yourself to take it easy for a rest period you can just as easily set a target to keep your BPM below a certain value.

Supported time frames

fitIQ allows you to track goals against any combination of the following time frames:

• Weekly: Monday to Sunday goal tracking which resets every week
• Monthly: Month to month goal tracking which resets on the 1st of every month
• Annually: Year to year goal tracking which resets on the 1st January each year

There’s absolutely nothing stopping you setting goals for the same WHOOP metric against different time frames: doing so allows you to track short term progress while aiming for a long term objective.

Currently supported goals

If you don’t see a WHOOP metric you’d like to track as a goal in the following list please reach out and we’ll try and add it for you:

• Total activity time: the time you spent active according to activities tracked by your WHOOP strap or manually recorded in the WHOOP application
• Total no. of activities: the number of activities tracked by your WHOOP or manually recorded in the WHOOP application
• Longest activity: your longest WHOOP activity—based on duration— in the given time frame
• Average workout calorie burn: the average amount of kcal burned during recorded activities
• Daily average total calorie burn: the average amount of kcal burned each day, not just during periods of recorded activity
• Daily average strain: similar to daily average calorie burn except expressed in terms of WHOOP strain
• Max day strain: the peak day strain you managed to hit during the given time frame
• Average resting heart rate: your average RHR over a given week, month or year
• Average daily heart rate: your average 24-hour heart over a given time frame
• Average heart rate variability: your average HRV over a given time frame
• Green recoveries: the number of green (66% or over) recoveries recorded in the given time frame
• Non-red recoveries: the number of green and yellow recoveries recorded in the given time frame
• Average recovery score: the average recovery score percentage over a given time frame
• Average sleep per night: the average amount of sleep you record per night
• Average sleep performance per night: the average sleep performance (as a percentage) you record per night
• Average sleep efficiency per night: the average sleep efficiency (as a percentage) you record per night
