Within the new headquarters, employees will have access to various amenities including the WHOOP Cafe, a rooftop collaboration space with tables and seating, lactation rooms and private spaces for relaxation and meditation.

One Kenmore Square also houses WHOOP Labs, a state-of-the art innovation hub where research and development will be conducted. The ceiling of WHOOP Labs, which can be seen from the heart of Kenmore Square, displays the phrase “Always On”, the same text that’s imprinted on each WHOOP device, as it’s designed to be worn 24/7. There will also be an apparel and accessories studio where WHOOP will conceptualize and design new gear, as well as a recording studio for The WHOOP Podcast.
“We’re proud to open our new global headquarters and begin our next chapter of growth in Boston’s most iconic neighborhood,” said Will Ahmed, Founder and CEO of WHOOP. “The headquarters speaks to our DNA, at the heart of Boston’s extraordinary sports scene, world-class health and medical institutions, and elite universities.”
WHOOP was founded in 2012 by Will Ahmed at Harvard Innovation Labs in Cambridge and has since been headquartered in Boston.
