I first tried Ladder in June 2025 for one month- I really enjoyed it however I wasn’t consistent and I stopped training and deleted the app. HOWEVER September 2026, I was motivated to pursue my booty building dreams. I knew Ladder & Team Ascend was still there. So I downloaded and subscribed for the full year! This app saves me so much brain space with deciding what workouts to do & detailing them in my notes app. Now I simply open the app and go along with the rest of my team - the more I use it the more the app knows me haha like what my 70% weight range should be etc. I rarely write reviews but I do really enjoy this app. I have looked at other Teams and tried new workout routines on off days (sundays) and they are really good too! Great for beginners all the way to advance. I enjoy having Coach Aria in my ear, motivating me and helping me watch for the correct form. Your team mates can send you cheers throughout your workout which makes it feel like you are apart of a team. I’m already starting to lift heavier. I’ve been consistent the past month- every day I use this app. Thank you Ladder & Coach Aria- i can’t wait to see what I can achieve in the next month!!
I work out now.
Did You Know I Work Out Now
OMG if you have ADHD and you know you should be lifting for your bones, your mental health, your g*dd*mn perimenopause BLAH BLAH BLAH get this app. Within THE DAY I was locked-in and before I even knew what was happening I had a 3x weekly weightlifting practice, and have stuck to it, AT HOME, SOLELY MOTIVATED BY THE COACHING IN THIS APP, for four weeks now. ADHD me is REELING that this has happened. Initially I answered a short quiz about the time I have available for workouts and what equipment I own, and it put me in a team. Since then all l have to do is be in my workout clothes and be in the same room as my dumbbells and the workout HAPPENS. NIL planning whatsoever from me, no thoughts just weights. Coach tells you what to do every step, and the workouts build across each week and over several weeks to build your strength. You’re constantly on a DOABLE MISSION WITH AN END POINT yet also happy it’ll never end as long as you keep the app. It feels like you get through everything so easily even though it’s also HARD- the way the app is built you are always ACHIEVING so there’s that dopamine hit after every set. There’s a team groupchat where you can brag/encourage so you don’t bore your irl friends/partner/family by incessantly blabbing about your new identity as a regular weightlifter (well I still do this. There’s a little phone widget you can get that marks all the workout days you’ve done on a mini calendar and I wave it in people’s faces). You can send your team members cheers and they can send them to you- cute little emojis fall from the top of the screen and it is so encouraging and bonkers. Ladder thankyou for haunting my social media feed, basically getting in my face in every second TikTok, finally I just clicked and I got sucked in and I’m sooooo happy bless all of you at Ladder.
Amazing & I highly recommend this app!!

I’ve been on ladder now since August 2026, I am on team ignite coach Stevie is amazing and caters for all levels of fitness. I’m a heavier per I’ve been on ladder now since August 2026, I am on team ignite coach Stevie is amazing and caters for all levels of fitness. I’m a heavier person at the moment but her sessions are easy to follow and it helps with her cues and she’ll tell you where you should be feeling it and if you’re not, she’ll guide you on how to adjust so you do. She’s amazing at her job and one of the reasons I show up 6x per week. My rest days I’ll add a flex session which you can pick from any of the sessions all the coaches have added as singular sessions. You can also ask questions in the team chat someone will likely be able to answer or you can tag coach Stevie or Blake from ladder directly. I look forward to showing up every day and I feel amazing for it. I absolutely recommend this app and if your wanting to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time then team ignite is definitely my recommendation you can always change teams if it doesn’t fit your needs. If you need added motivation, you can add accountability buddies in a seperate space on ladder or if you prefer working alone, that’s okay too. You can also earn badges and achievements along the way which I look forward to and I love I can track my nutrition in one spot as well. I do hope though that at some stage we can have an option to add an additional workout into ladder for example say we went for a walk away from ladder, we can select walk in a dropdown box other then input walk etc. but this is absolutely the best app I’ve ever come across and I wish I knew about it sooner you will definitely gain strength quickly as well I could literally pick up a car tyre and hold it above my head within 3 weeks of joining ladder but no way could I have prior.
Best app to motivate you to regularly workout

Rejoined a gym and did my own thing for about a month. Was ready to work out smarter but didn’t want to hire a PT. Decided to give Ladder’s free trial a go (saw them on Insta and had read some very good reviews) and I signed on for a year within 4 days of trying it. This app is SO good. Like the best. It took me about a week to feel fully confident using the app. I love how many features it has. I also love coach Samantha - team Evolve. She does excellent guidance and I’m doing so many new exercises in the gym. I can feel my muscles growing which is my goal as a peri woman over 50. I love this app so much, I’ve been exercising for 6x a week as I’m so motivated. It feels like Ladder have figured out the secret sauce to make people love working out. I used to never workout for more than 30 minutes and now I’m doing 45-60 minutes daily without complaint. I love the community aspect - team Evolve is extremely supportive. As someone with a couple of permanent injuries, I really appreciate the ability to swap out exercises that suit my ability. Give it go, I promise you won’t regret it.
