Group Workouts, powered by SharePlay, let you and up to 32 of your favorite people work out together on Apple TV 4K. You can start a FaceTime call on your iPhone or iPad, then start a Group Workout in the Fitness app.
The workout plays in sync for everyone on the call, and everyone can control playback from their own devices. You can cheer each other on, see when someone closes an Activity ring, and get notifications when someone moves ahead of the pack on the Burn Bar during HIIT, Treadmill, Cycling, and Rowing workouts.
Group Workouts work a little differently depending on which model of Apple TV you have. Started a workout on your iPhone or iPad? You can send it to Apple TV 4K, too.
Note: Apple Fitness+ workouts require a subscription and an Apple Watch or iPhone connected to the Fitness app on Apple TV 4K.
