With the release today, can two users do an exercise at the same time on AppleTV?

Just wanted to follow-up on this. So, if you have an iPhone and an AppleTV, you can sort of workout together till Apple fixes the problem using the idea I noted above; however, using an iPad is NOT an option. We have one iPad that we share. I setup the AppleTV and the iPad. So, both are tied to my account. We can find no way to get OUR iPad with Fitness to work with her watch. This is as ridiculous as not being able to just use the AppleTV together. Am I overlooking something? Anyone know how to switch users on Apple Fitness on a shared iPad?

Hey Michael, you are not overlooking anything unfortunately. Imagine how disappointed I was when I purchased an iPad for my household to collectively use as a workout screen, coming to find it only lets ME use it. Especially disappointing considering we were going to split the cost three ways. Not only am I out $400 during difficult times, but my household can still not work out with anything but their small phone screen. We can’t afford to purchase a separate TV for our makeshift workout room so I feel I just keep digging myself a hole with this app. Unfortunate because I do enjoy the content. Hopefully they fix this soon.

Yeah. The only thing that makes sense to me at this point, considering that the service for a family plan is meant to be shared and marketed as such, is that Apple is pushing us to purchase additional phones and iPads, and I suppose even multiple AppleTVs to link to each watch individually. That is just not going to happen, at least not for us. A shared iPad is fine, and a shared AppleTV is plenty. Multiple watches of course make sense, and an iPhone isn't a sufficient sized screen for workouts. Just my opinion on it all. In short, pretty crummy and it has me re-considering all service costs in general.

Apple,


Please let more than one watch connect to Fitness+.


My wife and I like doing workouts together and we would like to have BOTH of our progress show on the screen.


Please set up a Fitness+ “family plan” or something. I don’t mind paying a bit more if needed but this is DEFINITELY something that myself and many more NEED.


Otherwise, I might as well just use a free app or YouTube to workout with my wife.


Thanks
