Breathing. We all do it, just not in the same way.

Did you know that is possible to improve your immune system, increase your energy levels, improve your physical and mental health and even control your body’s temperature just through your breathing?

Reviews & Ratings


After hearing so much about the Wim Hof Method we decided to download the WHM app and try its free and paid features for one month.

The final verdict? 
Read what Reflection X team said !

🔹 What problem/goal were you trying to solve/achieve with the WHM app?

"I was looking to boost my body's immune system, reduce stress, have more energy and have see if I could gain a better control of mind and body." Rich, Co-Founder

"I aimed to increase my ability to work with the breath, hoping it would improve bodily functions and mental clartity/calm." Jordan, Head of Talent Search

🔹 Did the WHM app help solve your problem/achieve your goal?

"Yes, I feel my energy levels are more consistent throughout the day. Also, I can now do 45 push ups in one set, whereas before I could only manage around 25, before need to rest and go again." James, CEO & Co-Founder

"Yes, it initially took some time to bring it into my every day routine but once I did it had great benefits. I utilised the breathing but I learnt a huge amount from the free explainer videos by Wim Hof himself." Freya, Director

🔹 Which feature of the WHM app are most/least important to you? Were they paid or free?

"I started with the free version but will look into getting the paid version for more exercises - I utilised the breathing exercises, I liked that with practice I could hold my breath for longer eventually! I could hardly do it for 10 seconds at first. "Vy, Talent Researcher

"Definitely the cold showers challenge! I was very skeptical and I hate cold water but I took it as a personal challenge of mine (as I was extremely curious to see if I could get any of those benefits everyone is talking about) Well, what can I say, I have noticed that every single cell of my body was awake only after few seconds of my first cold shower! The increase of my energy level and the rush of adrenaline have become sort of addictive, sometimes I feel like I don't even need coffee anymore lol " Giusy, Digital Marketing Manager

🔹 What features would you like to add to the WHM app?

It would be lovely if when you hold your breath you could choose to listen to a short guided meditation so your mind can wander while you hold. Also it would be great to have a more visual or easy-to-read section explaining the direct health benefits really simply. " Jordan, Head of Talent Search

It would be awesome to have a journalling section or maybe a note you can add after you get your result to help you remember the journey. Also you could have a ranking of stress levels before where you could click on an icon 1-10 and then repeat after to show the levels of stress reduction after the breathing exercises. Just an idea :) Freya, Director

🔹 How often did you use the WHM app?

"At least 5 times a week". Giusy, Digital Marketing Manager

"Daily." Rich, Co-Founder

🔹 How satisfied are you with the WHM app? How likely are you to recommend it to a friend?

"Very satisfied, I would definitely recommend it to everyone." James, CEO & Co-Founder

"Yes, I got all the benefits and I haven't even paid for anything yet!" Freya, Director

🔹 After using the app for a month, what's the longest you can hold your breath?

0.41 Vy, Talent Researcher
4.09 Rich, Co-Founder
0.58 Jordan, Head of Talent Search

🔹 On a scale of 1 to 5, rate your experience using the WHM app

Our average score was of 4.5
