Group Workouts, powered by SharePlay, let you and up to 32 of your favourite people work out together. You can start a FaceTime call on your iPhone or iPad, then start a Group Workout in the Fitness app on Apple TV.
The workout plays in sync with everyone on the call and, everyone can control playback from their devices. You and your friends 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.
The workout plays in sync on Apple TV and on all the devices on the FaceTime call.
