Equipment & Team Matching
See how to match your team and workouts to the equipment you have and the setting you train in.
Updated Oct 6, 2026
How do I change the equipment I have access to?
To change the equipment you have access to, you can switch to a different team that better matches your available equipment. You can find teams based on equipment by using the filters located at the top right of the Teams page in the app. These filters allow you to narrow down programs by exercise style, equipment, workout length, and coach gender preference.
Alternatively, you can use the Modifications feature to personalize your workouts. When you preview your workout, tap the exercise you wish to swap, click SWAP, and then press play. This allows you to keep your progress tracked in your Ladder Journal even when you substitute exercises.
What equipment is required?
Your coach recommends equipment for your workouts, typically free weights such as dumbbells or kettlebells, along with resistance bands.
Coaches aren't able to fully modify workouts for a different setting (for example, switching between home and gym). To modify a workout for your available equipment or experience level, you can use Ladder Web at joinladder.com/app. See Modifying Your Workouts for more details.
What if I do not have the suggested equipment? Can I change my gym/home team to be home/gym friendly?
Your coach recommends equipment (typically free weights like dumbbells/kettlebells and resistance bands). Coaches cannot provide fully modified workouts for a different setting (home vs. gym).
How do I change my workout preferences to gym only?
To help you find the best programs that fit your needs and preferences, we offer a variety of filters that you can use to narrow down your search. These filters are located at the top right of your Teams page, and they allow you to filter programs based on your preferred exercise style, equipment, workout length, and coach gender preference.
Do you offer workouts for travel / limited equipment?
Yes, we do - with Ladder Flex! Perfect for travel, these workouts require little to no equipment and include strength, conditioning, and recovery. Access these at the top of your workouts page under the 'Flex' tab!
