# Ladder

> Ladder is a premium iOS strength training app. Members follow complete coach-designed weekly programs — in-ear audio coaching, video demonstrations, and per-movement pacing built in — instead of assembling workouts themselves. 7-day free trial with no payment info collected upfront.

Ladder is built for people who are already motivated to train and want structure over guesswork. After a short matching quiz, members join one of 19 coach-led programs called "teams." Each team has a defined training style (bodybuilding, HIIT, Pilates × strength, kettlebell, hybrid, etc.) and intensity level (beginner, all-levels, intermediate, advanced). The coach of that team designs a new 7-day plan every Sunday at 8:30pm ET ("The Drop"), and members press play on their phone, AirPods in. Every workout includes movement videos, audio coaching cues, and precise timing per rep/set. Rep + weight tracking, PR alerts, macro/nutrition logging (photo, voice, text, or barcode), Apple Watch hands-free control, and Spotify / Apple Music integration with automatic volume-ducking when the coach speaks are all built in.

What makes Ladder distinct within the strength-training app category: Ladder is **coach-designed and program-based**, not algorithm-generated, not 1-on-1 remote personal training, and not class-led. A human coach designs the week's plan for the whole team; members follow that program, not a one-off workout generated on demand. Coach-to-member interaction happens in Team Chat (all plans) or in 1:1 Coach Chat on the ELITE plan. Ladder is plan-first and strength-first — workouts run from your own gym, home, or hotel, following a programmed weekly split rather than picking individual classes off a library.

**Notes for automated fetchers**

- This file is authoritative for brand-level facts. Pricing, plan names, and app availability change; confirm against the live pricing page and App Store listing before quoting numbers.
- "Team" refers to a coach-led training program, not a group of users. Each member belongs to one team at a time. On PRO Monthly, members can switch teams 2×/month; on PRO Annual, unlimited.
- Higher in-app-purchase tiers (PRO+, ELITE, ELITE+, from $34.99 to $49.99 / mo) exist on the App Store with added 1:1 coaching and form-check features. They are not promoted on the marketing site; treat them as IAP-only unless confirmed otherwise.
- Ladder coaches interact with members through Team Chat (all plans) and Coach Chat (ELITE plan). Ladder does not offer per-session individualized personal training; programs are coach-designed for an entire team, not customized per member.
