Fitness+ My Plan not showing workouts as completed.

I ran into a bug where I started a fitness plan using my Apple Fitness+ subscription and then after did all three workouts in order via my up to date Apple watch and Apple TV on the fitness app. It went and marked the last two as completed for the plan’s day but not the first workout although it does recognize I did it and recorded it that day. Is there anyway to mark them as completed?

This is happening to me on my phone. I'm completing the workouts on my iPad and they all show completed there with the green checks. On my iPhone there is often a workout that doesn't show as completed. And then I get the notifications saying there's still time to do it, even though I did it hours earlier. I can't figure out why it wouldn't be the same on both devices. Frustrating issue.

I'm having this same issue. It's quite demotivating that an app which is supposed to help keep you motivated, is telling you that you didn't work out when you did indeed work out. The other day I just played my workout video again and didn't work out simply so it would record.


For what it's worth, I initiate workouts through the fitness+ app on my apple tv, then I activate it through my watch. Most days, the fitness+ app on my phone records the workout on my custom plan. But at least once a week there is a breakdown and the custom plan shows I missed a workout when I didn't.


As of today, all my devices are up to date. I don't want to reach out to Apple support because all they do is tell you to hard reset everything which is a huge pain, they never try to solve the problem. I embrace the Apple ecosystem because their software is stable and everything is supposed to work. But more and more cracks are starting to appear. I will likely start migrating off of the Apple ecosystem slowly but surely. At least with a system like google or others, I don't have the expectation that things will work properly.

I had this same thing happen to me. I tried restarting my phone thinking that might get the app to sync. Didn’t work. Then I thought I’d just replay the videos while I sit on the couch. I ran the first video for 30 seconds before calling it quits and deciding it’s not a big deal because I know I completed them. However, miraculously, after I exited out of the video, it then synced up and marked all my exercises I had completed in the plan for the day as done. Maybe this is a one off, but it solved the problem for today.

I think I discovered why this is happening. At the end of each Fitness+ workout, you are presented with a summary screen. I found that if I don’t click “Done” at the bottom of this summary screen, then it won’t record the workout on my plan. Naturally, most days I was just walking away after the workout and not paying attention. But for all of you having this problem, be sure to click “Done” on the post-workout summary screen and see if the issue persists.

I’m frustrated because I want to use my iPad to do my Custom Plan workouts but the Plan doesn’t show up on my iPad. My watch, iPhone, and iPad are all up to date and synced so I don’t understand why it’s not showing up. My phone screen is soooo tiny for the workout videos like Dance and Yoga. I can’t figure out how to get the actual app to be synced!

I can confirm with almost absolute certainty that the problem can be solved as described in my previous answer.


So, to recap, I start the workout streaming on the Mac, leave the iPhone on, finish the workout and have the green tick.


Otherwise, if I lock the iPhone, the green tick doesn't always appear.


I hope this solution is helpful!
