Apple Fitness Plus is an excellent way to stay on top of your fitness from home and to add fresh new workouts to your exercise routine at the gym. We've shown you how to find and sign up for Apple Fitness Plus, and now we'll go over how to start a Fitness Plus workout.
Whether you're using your iPhone, an iPad, or your Apple TV, we'll show you how to work out with Apple Fitness Plus. Not wearing your Apple Watch? That's okay, you can still begin an Apple Fitness Plus workout without wearing your Apple Watch, although some features will be limited, and you'll have to manually enter your workout in the Health app later.
Otherwise, follow these steps to start an Apple Fitness Plus workout while wearing your Apple Watch:
- Open the Fitness app on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. If you're on an iPad and don't see the Fitness app, you may need to download it from the App Store first.

At this point your workout will begin! If you're wearing your Apple Watch, your metrics will display on the screen of your iPad, iPhone, or Apple TV. If you loved the workout and want to do it again, you can add it to your My Workouts list in Apple Fitness Plus as well, which makes it easier to find later! If you end up getting tired of your subscription, here is how to cancel Apple Fitness Plus.
