How to AirPlay Apple Fitness+ classes to your TV or Roku Guides

Apple has included a nice improvement for its Fitness+ service with iOS 14.5 – AirPlay support. Let’s look at the pros and cons and how to AirPlay Apple Fitness+ classes to your TV.

When Fitness+ launched, the only way to use it on a big screen was with the Apple TV app. Fortunately, it’s now possible to AirPlay Apple Fitness+ classes to TVs which opens up the ability to workout on a large screen to many more users.

AirPlay comes built in to many third-party TVs including Samsung, Sony, LG, and Vizio. Meanwhile, Roku’s affordable set-top boxes come with AirPlay too, even the $50 Streaming Stick+. Check out the full list here of AirPlay 2 compatible TVs and streaming devices.
