Workout Streaks
Understand how streaks, streak freezes, and the lightning bolt icon track your weekly consistency.

What is a Streak?
On Ladder, we prioritize ourselves on consistency. Each week you complete 3 or more workouts, your streak increases. Your streak will reset every time you do not complete 3 or more workouts.
What does a streak freeze mean?
A streak freeze is a feature in the Ladder app designed to protect a user's workout streak.
Here's a breakdown:
-
What is a Streak?
- A streak in Ladder represents consistency in completing workouts.
- You earn and maintain a streak by completing 3 or more workouts within a calendar week (Monday through Sunday).
- Your streak increases each week you meet this minimum.
- If you complete fewer than 3 workouts in a week, your streak resets to zero.

What is a Streak Freeze?
- A streak freeze allows you to pause your streak for a specific week.
- If you activate a streak freeze for a week, your streak will not reset even if you complete fewer than 3 workouts during that week.
- It's a way to protect your progress if you know you'll be unable to meet the 3-workout minimum due to travel, illness, or other reasons.
How do streak freezes work and how do I turn one on?
Streak freezes protect your workout streak automatically — there's nothing you need to do to activate one. If you have a freeze available, it will be applied automatically on any week you complete fewer than 3 workouts, saving your streak.
You earn a streak freeze each time you hit a streak milestone (1st, 25th, 50th, and so on). Monthly members can use up to 2 freezes per year, while annual members can use up to 3 freezes per year.
Why did my workout streak reset?
At Ladder, we prioritize consistency. Each week you complete 3 or more workouts, your streak increases. Your streak resets any week you don't complete at least 3 workouts.
Is the streak reset related to my plan or the team switch?
Your workout streak is not affected by your subscription plan or by switching teams. Streaks reset only when you complete fewer than 3 workouts in a week (Monday to Sunday).
What does the lightning bolt mean?
The lightning bolt is symbolic for a ‘Streak’. A streak is awarded when you complete your 3rd workout between Monday and Sunday.
