LADDER Strength Training Plans

The app is good, workouts are helpful and challenging however, the monthly rate of 29.99 is more than the cost of a gym membership (where they supply the weights and machines and have overhead). IMO, this app should be no more than 14.99/mo. Double that seems excessive and not worth it.

Really do like this app. It helps me to stay motivated and is a one stop shop for all of my health goals. However I live in the woods with unreliable service so workouts can be hard to get the flow of due to bad connection even after I’ve downloaded the work out.

Initially I loved this app, then after the first month, it got extremely glitchy. I’ve notified tech support numerous times and the chat BOT always says it will be fixed but nothing ever it. I just want to be able to enjoy a workout without it changing halfway through or the sets increasing when I’m on the last set. Last set means last set, not add three more. The chat bot they use is infuriating and the patronizing tone it has is gross.

Workouts are decent but too expensive

For as much as you pay for this app you should be able to connect to Garmin directly

As a former Apple Fitness+ user, I’ve really been enjoying Ladder and Team Define. I like that the workouts are organized and intentionally planned, especially the focus on specific muscle groups and how the programming comes together over time. It takes the guesswork out of deciding what to do each day, which is a plus. My hesitation is that I do miss the production aspect and “real-time” feel of Apple Fitness+. There was something motivating about having an instructor on screen, the music, studio atmosphere, and feeling like you were actually participating in a live class—even though it wasn’t live. Ladder also doesn’t provide any guidance for modifications. Which, IMO can be dangerous. That said, I like the structure and coaching in Ladder, and I’m enjoying the Team Define program. If Ladder could bring a little more of that energy, production value, and immersive feel into the workouts, I think it would be a better overall app.
