Hello MGMis007,
From what you've shared it sounds like you're experiencing issues using Fitness+ with your Apple Watch and Apple TV. If that is correct, we recommend taking the steps listed here: If you see 'Pairing Canceled' while starting a workout in Apple Fitness+ - Apple Support
Specifically, do this before pairing your Apple Watch to your Apple TV.
"Add your Apple TV to the Home app
To easily access the devices that you use when working out, add your Apple TV to the Home app.
- On your Apple TV, go to Settings > AirPlay and HomeKit. You'll see "1" in a red badge next to AirPlay and HomeKit. Don't see a red badge?
- Select Finish Home Set Up.
- Unlock your iPhone and hold it close to your Apple TV.
- Follow the steps on your Apple TV to add your Apple TV to the Home app and finish setup."
Best regards!
