Fitness Plus + Why can I not use Airplay on my smart TV or older Apple TV unit? So frustrating!!! Bought the new watch and now really disappointed.
Worst apple experience ever
Completely agree. I have an AirPlay 2 compatible TV and an older model Apple TV. It’s completely unacceptable to expect someone to purchase a new Apple TV in addition to an Apple Watch in order to use a fitness service.
I will be canceling the service after my trial. I cannot follow a workout from a phone screen, and I will not be buying a new Apple TV. Going to Peloton.

AirPlay is not supported.
Fitness+ Requirement => Devices you can use with Apple Fitness+ - Apple Support
I have apple watch 5, partner has Apple Watch 6 - Her Christmas present as she couldn't use Fitness + on her Apple Watch 2
Really poor that the whole screen on my iPhone, metrics included can't be airplayed to my AirPlay compatible Samung TV
Complained to apple - worst experience with apple EVER, been a customer since first iPhone came out
We're looking at Peleton too, and sending the Apple Watch 6 back.
Really poor. I already have most of the apple range and Apple TV+ subscription - it's holding people to ransom having to buy yet another device just for a small functionality that should naturally appear as screen mirroring or airplay.

It also didn't says that you can.
You assumed wrong.
Fitness+ is a tight integration of Watch, iPhone, iPad and TV.
All the required Apple devices also need to have the latest watchOS 7.2, iOS/iPadOS 14.3 and tvOS 14.3 installed.
See here => Apple Fitness+ - Apple
What Apple Watch do you have?
Yes, you need one. Apple Watch personalizes your Apple Fitness+ experience by integrating your personal metrics, like your heart rate and the calories you burn, into every workout. It brings them to life on the screen to keep you informed and motivated. To use Apple Fitness+ on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV, an Apple Watch Series 3 or later is required.
Apple Fitness+ is available in
I have a Apple Watch 5 and bought a brand new Apple Watch 6 for my partner so we could both get fit using Fitness Plus.
Airplay works for everything else why not Fitness+ - surely it can just share what is on screen on iPhone straight to My TV which has Airplay built in.
totally frustrated with you! I have a mac, air buds, iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Apple TV plus(pay for). I was told it would air play, just found out it does not. I have an older APPLE TV bought in 2016 which of course is now outdated. I don't need a new one since my tv is smart, but it wont download Apple Fitness plus. What a waste of money. Now I have to cancel since I cant use it.
Your TV is not supported.
Yes, saw this - BUT, this doesn't say you can't airplay from your iPhone does it?
Agreed! I use Peloton and love it. But I now that I have Apple watch it works but does not show heart rate. Not sure why.
Makes zero sense that you can not air play without having a new Apple TV.
