Studio owners can also re-start the Lionheart TV to force the update and get the member on the board immediately.

Members are not showing up on the F45 TVsTo ensure your workouts appear on F45 TVs using the Lionheart system with an Apple Watch: 1) The Lionheart system uses a unique Sensor ID to link your profile, allowing your name and zones to be displayed correctly. 2) If your Apple Watch data isn't displaying on the F45 TVs, the Sensor IDs between your Watch app and the F45 Training app may not match. 3) To resolve this, open the Watch app and check the Sensor ID. Compare it with the one in the F45 Training app. 4) If they differ, go to 'Help' in the settings and select 'No', then input the correct Sensor ID from the F45 Training app. This will synchronize the Sensor ID in your Watch app with the Lionheart system, and you should appear on the F45 TVs during your workout. Note: If you make any change to your Sensor ID in the F45 Training app, it can take 24 hours for the F45 TVs to recognize the change. Studio owners can reboot the Lionheart system in their studio to force an update of your profile.
