Ladder, Your Digital Coach Reviews

Love the idea

Chicknherder

While I really love the idea of having a virtual personal trainer matched to an individuals unique needs, this app falls short. The matching process is far too vague and ignores important variables such as finding a trainer who specializes in specific age, current fitness level, and other health categories. This type of app could be life changing if a more detailed personal assessment could be completed then matched to trainers with those areas of expertise.

Attractive app and good workout for busy professionals

The app itself is attractive and easy to use. I love the videos of each exercise, they help to guide me do what I need to. The sets themselves are fun and my trainer is awesome. The user interface is intuitive, easy to use. I'd like to suggest to the developers two proposals which would help round out the design. 1: for time/bases sets, you should build a timer right into the app (along with a 3 second prep countdown). I either have to twist my kneck to view my gyms clock or awkwardly set a timer in my phone. Having it built-in will help. 2: give a rough estimate for how the full workout will take. Just add up all the approximate times and tell me how much time to budget. It doesn't have to be exact; is the workout 20 minutes or 40? That will really help me budget my time. I'll admit to being a beginner. I did trainer-led workouts before but they've always been cookie cutter and got too hard too fast and you lose interest really quickly. I'm really liking this app and my coach. Let's go!

Game changer

This app is getting me to exercise after recovering from the mental and physical trauma of a stroke. My coach, Chris, is supportive, easily available, and really listens to me. This is way more affordable, flexible, and accountable than hiring a personal trainer. You can even ask for home only workouts. I have suggested it to everyone I know. It’s changed my life and given me the knowledge and confidence to begin my fitness journey.

Amazing

Jake Danilo

Helps me get in shape. It is also very personable with a real person coaching you.

Love it!

Morris Kitler

Personal trainer to get me on track in the gym for a fraction of the cost. This app is a game changer!

Still Needs Improvement

Dan0987

Matched me with a trainer is Boston, MA (I’m in Columbus, OH). It appears that once you match with a trainer you can’t try to go back and re-match or get back to any ‘Home screen’. Even when I force close the App, it re-opens on the payment screen to charge me for the trainer in Boston. I think the App is a great idea, just needs some improvement and more trainers I would assume.

Needs some more updating

Clarebear2010

I would love to use the app but with not being able to go back to switch trainers. I wish it would give a list of trainers you can pick from. I will not use it until I can get a different trainer. My rating will stay at a 1 star until they fix this issue.

App is not working.

I pay for this app. I like the concept but can't complete the profile.

Makes me accountable

Treswm

I had tried every fitness app there was, but knew that the only way I’d really become healthier is a real fitness professional making the decisions for me and holding me accountable. My coach Stan does that, he’s a real life human that checks on me and answers my questions no matter how dumb they are

The accountability factor is everything

Arnie4Dayz

I am pretty experienced in the fitness space, but horrible at accountability so decided I’d try out this app. I was incredibly surprised and extremely impressed with the level of personalization and attention I received from my trainer. He was careful to understand my likes and dislikes, and even gives me suggestions for awesome group ex classes on my cardio days! Also the team is awesome and responsive as I had some tech issues early, but they were quick and efficient to respond. Really looking forward to nutrition tracking (heard a rumor it’s coming down the road - fingers crossed.)
