Feature Request: Muscular Load Input via Photo/Text Upload
Problem: Manual muscular load entry is tedious for complex workouts (CrossFit, functional fitness). This creates friction → lower compliance → incomplete data.
Proposed Solution: Accept workout input via photo (whiteboard) or text paste, then auto-map to WHOOP’s exercise library.
User Flow:
-
Upload image or paste text (from SugarWOD, BTWB, coach notes)
-
WHOOP parses and suggests matched exercises
-
User confirms/edits → submits
Technical Approach (if helpful):
-
OCR (e.g., Google Vision, AWS Textract) for whiteboard photos
-
LLM or regex-based parsing for text normalization (“DB thruster” → “Dumbbell Thruster”)
-
Fuzzy matching against existing exercise taxonomy
-
Confidence threshold: auto-fill high-match items, flag ambiguous for user review
Value: Even 70% auto-match significantly improves UX for your most data-engaged users.
