What it does
Ladder delivers coach-programmed strength workouts refreshed each week. The app combines video demonstrations, spoken coaching, pacing, repetition and weight tracking, with several teams organized around different training styles.
Use the trial to compare teams rather than choosing only from a coach's name. Ladder's quiz offers a starting match, and its seven-day trial allows exploration without entering payment details. Once a plan is selected, the weekly programming provides the day's session, while demonstrations and in-ear cues guide the workout.
The tracker records weights, repetitions and notes. Music can come from Spotify or Apple Music, with volume adjusted around coaching. Paid access differs in team flexibility: the official FAQ says annual Pro members can access all teams, while monthly members can change teams twice a month. That distinction matters if you expect to move between training styles frequently.
