How can i use my Apple Watch with apple fitness+ on my ipad
Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 7
I found the answer (at least for me) on reddit
I used the suggestion to install the Home app. I had it on the iPad but not on my iPhone. Once I had them both installed AND connected to iCloud, my iPad immediately found my watch for the workouts. Might want to also make sure iCloud Keychain is enabled. I tried this step first. when it didn't solve the problem I did not go back and disable it so Keychain may have something to do with this. I just don't know.
All works well now. Thank you for the help.

You need more that just the app.
Your iPad needs to be updated to the latest iPadOS 14.3
You need a compatible Apple Watch ( series 3 or later ) updated to its latest WatchOS version and, also, Bluetooth connected to your iPad before the iOS App Store will let you download/install the Apple Fitness+ app.
Thank you for your help. My iPad has the latest as does my series 5 watch. Bluetooth is on, on both devices. When I open the Fitness+ app on the iPad and select a workout, it searches for my watch. After a bit, it doesn’t find it and gives the notice “Apple Watch Unavailable”.
Again, help is appreciated!
