Apple fitness app won’t download as it says “This app requires specific features not available on this device”
I have been through all the forums and the troubleshooting;
my iPad and watch are both compatible
both have the correct and most up to date software
both connected to same wifi
both signed in on same Apple ID
but still it won’t let me download the app
Is there another way to fix it? Any help is appreciated TIA

Your iPad needs more that just the app.
Here are the requirements needed to use the Fitness+ app and Watch with a iPadOS compatible iPad.
Your iPad needs to be updated to the latest iPadOS.
You need a compatible Watch ( series 3 or later ) updated to its latest watchOS version.
No options
The Fitness+ app will ask to automatically link the Watch to your iPad/ Fitness+ app, after the download of the Fitness+ app from the iOS App Store.
See the iPad/iPhone instructions here below.

Also, make sure all connected Apple devices are using the same Apple ID/password account information.
In addition, there is no TV mirroring of the Fitness+ app, using iPad, currently.
Currently there is no direct AirPlay/screen mirroring from an iPad to any other compatible smart TV or smart device using AirPlay2.
Apple, currently has ONLY made the mirroring/AirPlay 2 feature available to owners/users of an actual Apple TV box.
Best of Luck to You!
With all that I have stated, I would Contact Apple support, via the contact support link located at the upper right hand corner of every Webpage of these Apple support communities OR by installing and using the Apple Support app found in the iOS App Store.
Tap the iOS App Store link below.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/apple-support/id1130498044
See if Apple support tells you if you need the Watch, now, or not, using Apple Fitness+ with an iPad.
I keep getting conflicting information about this.
And as far as I am aware, you still cannot AirPlay the Apple Fitness+ app or the videos from an iPad, either, but my info may also, be in error.

Had the same problem but fixed it by upgrading iOS 14.4 on My iPad to 15.2. No clue why they say that >14.3 will work.
