Put heart rate, speed & a route map on a Reel
The whole point is the overlay. overlay.fit gives you 17 widget variants for your workout data - here’s what each one looks like, the unit options, and how to drop them onto your clip.
overlay.fit overlays heart rate, power, speed, cadence, elevation, pace and a live route map onto your video - 17 widget variants in all. Drag any widget to position it, pinch to resize, and double-tap to remove. Start from a template or build your own and save it to reuse.
The stats you can overlay
Each metric has more than one visual style, so you can match the look of your post. The variants include:
| Stat | How it looks on screen | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Heart rate | Heart-rate cards showing live bpm | bpm |
| Speed | Speedometer-style gauges | mph / kph |
| Power | Power bars (for riders with a power meter) | watts / W·kg |
| Cadence | Cadence dials | rpm |
| Elevation | Elevation profile that fills as you climb | ft / m |
| Pace | Pace breakdowns for runs | min/mi · min/km |
| Route | A live map that traces your ride or run as it plays | - |
Place them however you like
Nothing is locked to a grid. Every widget is free-form:
- Drag a widget anywhere on the frame.
- Pinch to resize it.
- Double-tap to remove one you don’t want.
Keep the centre of the frame clear for the action and tuck your stats into the corners and edges - that reads best on Reels and TikTok, where the middle of the screen is where the eye goes.
Templates vs building your own
You don’t have to design a layout from scratch. overlay.fit ships hand-tuned templates that look good by default - pick one and you’re done. Prefer your own arrangement? Place your widgets once, then save it as a template and reuse it so every post has a consistent style. It’s a deliberately different approach from desktop tools that ask you to configure a gauge dashboard before you can export anything - more on that in the comparison.
What controls which stats you can show
You can only overlay what your activity recorded. Heart rate needs a watch or chest strap; power and cadence need the matching sensors; speed, distance, elevation and the route come from GPS on most rides and runs. Pull that data from Strava, Apple Health / Health Connect, or a FIT/GPX/TCX file - see the full how-to for the complete workflow.
Common questions
Can I show more than one stat at once?
Yes. Add as many widgets as you like and place each one independently. A common setup is a route map in one corner, heart rate in another, and speed along the bottom.
Can I change the units?
Yes. Each stat has unit toggles - mph or kph for speed, watts or watts-per-kilogram for power, bpm for heart rate, feet or metres for elevation.
What if my workout didn’t record a stat?
You can only overlay what your device captured. No power meter means no power widget, for example. Heart rate needs a watch or strap. Speed, distance, elevation and route come from GPS on most activities.
Can I save a layout to reuse?
Yes - save your own template once you’ve placed your widgets, and apply it to future videos so every post has a consistent look.
