Does Whoop Straps Work with Peloton?

Whoop Straps can be paired with Peloton for monitoring regular heart rate while taking the peloton classes. In fact, Whoop can be a great companion for Peloton users to monitor other information, including training evaluation, recovery monitoring, sleep tracking, and calorie tracking.

For a side note, Peloton Bikes generally use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or ANT+ technology to connect to third-party devices. If your device has either of them, you can successfully connect it to Peloton.

Thankfully, Whoop Strap 3.0 and 4.0 come with Bluetooth Low Energy technology that makes them Peloton compatible. Similarly, popular devices like Polar H10/H9/Verity Sense, Wahoo Tickr, and OTBeat Flex works with Peloton. You’re good to go if you have any of them.

Tips to Fix Whoop Not Connecting to Peloton

Ensure HR Broadcast Is Toggled ON

Even if you’re connected with Peloton, there are chances of not receiving Whoop’s heart rate data. This happens when you forgot to turn on the “HR Broadcast” feature from the Whoop app.

Even if the HR Broadcast feature was previously enabled, it may automatically switch off after a recent update. I recommend double-checking whether the HR Broadcast feature is enabled.

Here’s how to enable HR Broadcast from the Whoop app:

Open the Whoop app.
Go to “Menu” within the app.
Select “Strap Settings”
Toggle ON “Broadcast Heart Rate”

What is the HR Broadcast feature In Whoop? The HR Broadcast allows transmitting your heart rate over the BLE Heart Rate Service channel and being able to connect to a receiving device like Peloton.

Disconnect from Previously Connected Device

Check if your Whoop strap has an active connection with some other device. You may be facing connection issues if you have forgotten to disconnect your previously connected device. To solve this, just remove the WHOOP Strap from other device that it was previously connected to using the HR Broadcast feature.

Make Sure Whoop Strap Is In Range

Even though Whoop straps can be paired with Peloton within 100 meters, it is highly advisable to keep your Whoop as close as possible. It will make connecting to Peloton easier.

Attempt to Re-Connect

Repeating the connection process can be a simple solution if you are facing connectivity issues. Most of the time reconnecting your Whoop to Peloton works charmingly, so I recommend giving it a try.

Here’s How you Can Attempt to Re-Connect:

First, Turn HR Broadcast OFF from the Whoop app.
Turn off Bluetooth on your Peloton.
Re-enable both (HR Broadcast to ON in the WHOOP app + re-enable Bluetooth on the Peloton.)
Try reconnecting the WHOOP Strap with the Peloton.
