How to stream Apple Fitness Plus workouts on your TV with AirPlay

Apple Fitness Plus is a $10-a-month exercise class subscription, with workouts ranging from HIIT to dance classes. But it's also so much more than that: Fitness Plus syncs with your Apple Watch to display health metrics right on your screen during your workout. You'll see countdown timers, activity rings, the burn bar and your heart rate right on top of the workout video feed. The service streams directly from your iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

If your iPhone and iPad screens are too small and you don't own an Apple TV, you can still stream Apple Fitness Plus workout classes on your TV, and on any AirPlay 2-compatible TV or device. We'll walk you through the steps to set it up on your TV.
