How to watch workouts on your TV

You can play workouts on your TV by casting from your phone or computer, or by connecting with an HDMI cable. The right option depends on the device you're watching from and the TV or streaming device you're watching on.

Find your setup in the table below. Then follow the steps in your device's section.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before you start

• Connect your phone or computer and your TV (or streaming device) to the same Wi-Fi network. Casting doesn't work over cellular data.
• Make sure your devices and TV have up to date software.

iPhone or iPad

iPhones and iPads cast with AirPlay.

Works with:

• Apple TV
• Smart TVs with AirPlay 2 (many newer models)
• Most Roku TVs and streaming players. If you see Apple AirPlay and HomeKit in your Roku's Settings, it's supported.
• Fire TV smart TVs, such as the Omni Series and 4-Series

How to cast:

1. On your TV or streaming device, make sure AirPlay is turned on in Settings. Apple TV has it on by default.
2. Go to app.heatherrobertson.com and open your workout.
3. Tap the AirPlay icon in the video player.
4. Select your TV and press play.

IPhones and iPads do not work with Chromecast, Google TV or Fire TV Stick. For these, use a third-party app such as DoCast, or connect with HDMI. Roku devices without an AirPlay setting need the same workaround.

Connect with an HDMI cable

HDMI is the most reliable way to watch on your TV, and it doesn't depend on Wi-Fi.

Most computers support it, but not every phone or tablet can send video through its charging port, so check your device below before buying an adapter.

Note: iPhone 16e, iPhone 17e, Samsung Galaxy A series, and Google Pixel 7 and earlier can't connect by cable. Use casting or screen mirroring instead. For other Android devices, check your specs for "video output" before buying an adapter.

To connect:

1. Plug your device into your TV.
2. Switch your TV to the matching HDMI input.
3. Open your workout and press play.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't my TV show up when I try to cast?

Our video player runs in your web browser, so it uses the casting tool built into your device: AirPlay on Apple devices, Google Cast on Android and Chrome. Your TV will only appear if it supports that same tool. Check your device's section above to see what's supported.

Can I use my TV's web browser?

Some smart TVs have a built-in browser where you can log in at app.heatherrobertson.com. TV browsers vary widely and aren't always compatible with our web app, so casting or HDMI will be more reliable.

Still having trouble? See Troubleshooting casting and video playback or contact Support.
