Upload a FIT file.
Get coaching feedback on any ride by uploading its .fit file. Useful for rides from a device you haven't connected, or older rides that didn't come in with your Garmin or Wahoo history.
FIT (Flexible and Interoperable Data Transfer) files are the standard format used by Garmin, Wahoo, Hammerhead, and other cycling computers to store ride data including power, heart rate, cadence, GPS route, and more.
Export from your device, transfer to your phone, and upload in seconds.
Export your FIT file
Export the .fit file from your device or companion app.
— Garmin Connect App
Open the Garmin Connect app → find the activity → tap ⋯ → Export to Phone.
— Garmin Connect Web
Go to connect.garmin.com → open the activity → click the gear icon → Export File.
— Wahoo ELEMNT App
Open the Wahoo ELEMNT app → find the activity → Share → Export .fit.

Connect your device via USB and find the .fit file in the Garmin/Activities (or similar) folder.
Upload to WattsUp
Download your FIT file to your phone
Download the .fit file from the Garmin Connect website (connect.garmin.com). Open the activity, click the gear icon, and select Export File to save the .fit file to your phone.
Open the upload sheet
In WattsUp, go to the Train tab and tap the upload icon at the top right, next to the calendar icon. The 'Add Activity' sheet opens.
Choose your file
Tap 'Upload FIT File' and pick the .fit file from your phone's files. Only .fit files work here. 'Log Activity' is for sessions without a file.
Activity added
WattsUp analyses the file and adds the ride to your history. Tap 'Chat with coach' to talk it through straight away, or 'Done' to close the sheet. If you've uploaded the same file before, the sheet says so and nothing is added twice.
Four tips
Any .fit file from any supported cycling computer will work, not just Garmin.
Connected Garmin or Wahoo? Their rides sync on their own, so you only need a FIT upload for rides that didn't come through.
Uploading a ride that has already synced adds a second copy. Tap the extra one on the Train tab or in the calendar, choose 'View Details' and tap the delete icon at the top.
You can upload multiple past activities to build up your coaching history.
