What to Do When Fitness+ Workouts Freeze in the Middle of the Workout

When it doesn’t have issues, Apple Fitness+ works like a charm. The Burn bar never fails to motivate you as you strive to become a better and healthier version of yourself. However, when some users try out Apple’s latest service offering, they reportedly experience annoying issues.

Fitness+ Workouts Freeze in the Middle of the Workout

Don’t Use Multiple Bluetooth Connections

Don’t use your AirPods when you’re trying Fitness+ because when you have multiple connections in progress, a bug tends to interfere. Try toggling your Bluetooth on your device to OFF before switching it back ON.  

Check Apple’s System Status Report

To see if it isn’t a server issue on Apple’s side, be sure to check their system status report. Fitness+ and iCloud status should show a green status.  

Disable the Subtitles

You can also disable the Subtitles to successfully overcome this Fitness+ freezing problem. Just set Subtitles to OFF after tapping on the captions icon that’s at the bottom right area of your screen.  

Switch on the Low Data Mode on the Wi-Fi

You can also choose to switch on the Low Data Mode on your Wi-Fi connection and make use of the ‘Renew Lease’ option prior to starting your Fitness+ workout. Your automatic updates and background tasks will be paused when you turn on your low data mode because this can help with the Wi-Fi’s overall throughput.

Check Your Apple Device’s Cellular Connection

Does your Apple device have a strong cellular connection? Try tapping on Settings ˃ Cellular and scroll down to see if Fitness+ App is enabled. If your cellular connection works a lot better if you switch off the Wi-Fi, then your Wi-Fi and a Reset Network Connections on your device can be good action prior to using the Wi-Fi for Fitness+.

Tap on Your Apple Watch’s ‘Lock’ Icon and Disable Siri

If your wrist presses on the back of your palms while you’re trying to do a push-up sequence, you can accidentally press on your Apple Watch button and trigger the freezing issue. Be sure to tap on the ‘Lock’ icon from the main screen on your Apple Watch. While you’re at it, disable Siri on your Apple Watch while you’re using Fitness+.
