Hi there ilyas245,


We understand you're experiencing an issue with your Apple Watch not pairing to your Apple TV for Apple Fitness+, and we'd like to see if we can assist.


To begin, make sure you're signed in to iCloud on both devices with the same Apple ID, and that two-factor authentication is enabled. Learn more about this feature here: Two-factor authentication for Apple ID


Also, restart your Apple TV, Apple Watch, and paired iPhone, then test again. Here's how:


Finally, you mentioned your Apple TV and Apple Watch are up to date, also make sure your iPhone is updated: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


We hope this helps.

ilyas245,


Thanks for giving those steps a try, and keeping us posted on the results.


Next, make sure you can launch and set up the Home app on your iPhone.


If so, add the Apple TV in the Home app, and try starting an Apple Fitness+ workout again.


Should the issue persists, turn Bluetooth off and back on for both the Apple Watch and paired iPhone.


Let us know what happens.


Thanks!
