I don't understand why I can't get Apple fitness on my watch plus iMac or MacBook.

Why is this? I want to use them on the go and my phone is too small to see and prop up in an office or hotel room somewhere.

Apple please just make this possible. I have had this for a year and used it twice for this very reason. Will be stopping subscription without it.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

Apple Watch non user not able to use fitness + Why would Apple not allow everyone to use fitness regardless if they have the Apple watch or not? I think that is very odd not allow every Apple user to be able to access fitness +? I am sure not everyone owns a Apple Watch.

Apple Fitness+ Overall Fail and Confusion In a world of confusion over Fitness+. I don't have an Apple Watch and don't plan to get one. I want Fitness+ on my iPad but I can't even download the app - Apple support says its because I don't have a watch. But I downloaded Fitness+ on my iPhone without a watch and it works just fine?!?! What I would like is to use the fitness app on a bigger screen (since the iPad didn't work). I can't even get to mirror the iPhone on iMac or through HDMI on a TV - the secondary screen goes black when the workout plays on the phone. So I have every conceivable Apple device except a watch and I have the most expensive tier of Apple One subscription - but I can't use the fitness app in a meaningful way? Am I missing something? Is the roll out strategy for Fitness+ really that hair-brained that everything is held together by a $160 watch when I have thousands of dollars of Apple equipment that I can't use?

I have this fancy iMac and can't get Fitness + on it. SILLY. I have to use my tiny iPad or phone. Yet, Lifetime fitness streams online.
