Is apple fitness+ still doing its bs of only letting you see the workout on your phone? (or ipad or apple tv if you happen to have those). They actually got me into a peloton membership, after apple's marketing made me think it's a cool product, but since i dont want to try to see it on my tiny phone I almost immediately turned to alternatives.

Yes and it's annoying. We got a TV that supports AirPlay for the basement (which is also the gym) in anticipation of a long term guest (MIL, didn't happen because of COVID travel restrictions for her country) and without buying an Apple TV I can't cast the classes to it outside the audio. If you're on a rowing machine or treadmill or bike the iPad works well, but for things like yoga or strength classes I'm not dropping $200 on something that would be only used (for now) for exercise classes when Peloton (via my sister's subscription presently) works fine over AirPlay to the TV. I've already spent $$$ furnishing the basement and basement bedroom for a visit that never happened.

    Well that's fantastic news for me then. I missed that detail in their comment earlier.
