WHOOP Advanced Labs: pricing, biomarkers, and review

WHOOP Advanced Labs is the wearable company's blood-testing add-on. The flagship offering is $349/year for two annual lab draws covering 65+ biomarkers, with results piped back into the WHOOP app alongside your sleep, recovery, strain, and HRV data. Specialized one-off panels (heart, metabolic, male hormones, female hormones, performance) are sold standalone at $299 each, with each panel covering 77 to 90 markers focused on a single domain. Our take: it's a strong pick if you already wear a WHOOP, and a hard sell if you don't.

The pitch is integration. Instead of getting your bloodwork in a separate dashboard, your labs live next to the wearable signal WHOOP has been collecting on you for months or years. Draws happen at one of 2,000+ Quest Diagnostics locations, booked through the WHOOP app, and HSA/FSA accounts are typically eligible.

My spouse wears a WHOOP, so I've seen how the band's recovery and strain data shows up in the app day to day, and I reviewed WHOOP's published Advanced Labs pricing and panel material to write this. Below we cover how it works, WHOOP Advanced Labs pricing, what's tested, how it compares to Function Health, reviews, and the main alternatives.

How WHOOP Advanced Labs works

Advanced Labs is bundled with a WHOOP membership rather than sold as a standalone DTC product. You're already wearing the band, and the lab add-on extends what WHOOP can say about your physiology. The product launched in 2024 and has expanded since then. WHOOP added Advanced Labs Uploads so members can pull in past lab results from outside the WHOOP system, and in March 2026 launched a women's-health-focused panel targeted at hormonal markers across menstrual cycle, perimenopause, and postpartum contexts.

Reports are reviewed by a clinician before they land in the app, and the action plan that comes with the results is generated against your individual baseline rather than just lab reference ranges.

WHOOP Advanced Labs pricing

  • Advanced Labs (annual): $349/year for two draws covering 65+ biomarkers. Requires an active WHOOP membership.
  • Specialized Panels: $299 each, one-off. Five domain-focused panels (heart, metabolic, male hormones, female hormones, performance), each with 77 to 90 markers.

For comparison, that puts the annual offering between Superpower ($199, once-yearly) and Function Health ($365, twice-yearly). The specialized panels are roughly priced like a one-off Quest comprehensive panel but with deeper domain coverage.

What's tested

The annual panel covers the standard cardiometabolic core plus advanced markers WHOOP says are not typically included in a doctor's default panel. The specialized panels go deeper into a single domain:

  • Heart (81 markers): the Heart Health Panel adds ApoB, Lp(a), LDL particle number and pattern, vascular inflammation markers (MPO, Lp-PLA2), endothelial markers (ADMA, SDMA), a full omega fatty-acid profile (EPA, DPA, DHA, ratios), plus hsCRP, homocysteine, and Cystatin C on top of a standard lipid panel.
  • Metabolic (78 markers): the Metabolic Health Panel goes past glucose and HbA1c with C-Peptide, 1,5-AG, fructosamine, HOMA2-IR, leptin, adiponectin, Free T3/T4, GGT, and mineral cofactors (zinc, selenium, iodine, copper, magnesium).
  • Male hormones (77 markers): the Men's Health Panel covers total and free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol, LH, FSH, DHT, prolactin, cortisol, and a three-part prostate screen (PSA total, free, and % free).
  • Female hormones (81 markers): the Women's Health Panel, added in March 2026, covers FSH, LH, estradiol, testosterone, AMH, progesterone, prolactin, plus Free T3/T4 and key nutrients (B12, folate), framed around cycle phase, perimenopause, and postpartum.
  • Performance (90 markers): the Performance Health Panel is the broadest, with blood-production markers (reticulocyte count and index, B12, folate), creatine kinase for muscle recovery, IGF-1, Free T3/T4, and the same omega fatty-acid profile.

WHOOP enumerates these on its Specialized Panels pages. Each panel layers its domain-specific markers on top of a comprehensive foundation (CBC, full metabolic panel, lipids, iron studies, vitamin D), which is why the counts run high.

WHOOP Advanced Labs vs Function Health

The interesting comparison is against Function Health, which is the dominant DTC blood-testing brand and the closest direct competitor at this price tier:

  • Price: WHOOP $349/year vs Function $365/year. Roughly the same.
  • Biomarker count: Function tests 100+ on the annual draw, with a 60+ follow-up. WHOOP says 65+ per draw, two draws/year. Function has the broader panel.
  • Integration: WHOOP's differentiator is that your labs live next to your wearable data. Function is lab-only.
  • Existing customer base: WHOOP makes more sense if you're already paying for the wearable. Function makes more sense if you want a comprehensive lab service standalone.

WHOOP Advanced Labs reviews

Coverage in the press has generally been favorable on the integration story. TechRadar and TechCrunch both framed the launch as WHOOP moving from wearables into clinical-adjacent territory. Member reception on r/whoop is mixed: some appreciate the convenience of one-stop physiology, others would rather pay for blood testing separately and not be locked into the WHOOP membership.

WHOOP Advanced Labs alternatives

  • Function Health ($365/year): the closest direct competitor on price and breadth.
  • Superpower ($199/year): cheaper, once-yearly, no wearable integration.
  • InsideTracker ($589+/year): more established, with action plans tied to performance goals.
  • Vitals Vault ($99 to $399 one-time): pay-once model, no subscription.
  • Goodlabs (free with blood donation): a different model entirely.
