FitX On-Demand brings your gym's fitness classes to your phone and your TV. Members of participating gyms, apartment communities, and fitness facilities get instant access to a full library of professionally produced workout classes — strength, cycle, HIIT, yoga, pilates, dance, boot camp and more — streaming in HD wherever you are. WATCH ON THE BIG SCREEN Pair your phone with the FitX app on your Apple TV once, using a simple 6-digit code. Then browse classes on your phone and tap "Play on TV" — the workout starts on the big screen instantly, and your phone becomes the remote. Play, pause, skip and seek without getting up. NO SAME-WI-FI REQUIRED Unlike screen mirroring, your phone and TV don't need to be on the same network. FitX connects them through the cloud, so it works even when you're on cellular data. A FULL CLASS LIBRARY Browse by category or search the entire collection. Every class shows its length, difficulty and instructor, so you can find the right workout in seconds. A new Workout of the Day is featured every morning. BUILT FOR FACILITIES FitX is provided through your gym, studio or apartment community. Your facility manages member access, so there's nothing to subscribe to in the app — just sign in with the login your facility gives you and start training. Have questions?
