See if if appears in List View:
You can also open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, tap App View, then tap List View.
In Grid view it should look like a circle with a man running inside.
The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

Restarted watch and iPhone. That didn't work, Workout still is not on the list. Unpaired and set up the phone again, and it still is not there. Some other changes are pairing
