I have an Apple Watch and am doing a trial of Fitness+. Doing the workouts is fine. I send them to the Apple TV and it all goes fine.

But I am trying to decide if I want to keep Fitness+ after the trial. I would like to just watch some of the workouts without actually starting a workout. I've learned that if I start it from my phone I can do it without the watch. In that event they don't show the Apple Watch metrics on screen. But it still "counts" as a workout. I don't want it to since I am not working out. I just want to look at the workouts (beyond the previews).

Also even if I were to subscribe sometime I like to look through a new workout to get some idea of how it goes or perhaps to look at new moves, etc. There doesn't seem to be a way to do that without starting a workout.

This seems bizarre to me. Other video places will let you just watch the videos. Anyway, am I missing some way to be able to watch a video without actually starting a workout on my phone.

You could just erase the workout data after watching the video
