We created the Ladder app in 2020, because we thought most (all?) fitness apps suck. Ask any serious strength trainer or gym-goer, and you’ll learn that legacy fitness apps just don’t cut it.
In the spirit of fun around Peloton’s announcement and what will surely be dismissed as coincidence, we’re releasing a campaign today called Ladder Versus, inspired by the legendary “Get a Mac” campaign of the early 2000s, a classic, and one of our favorites.
Though we are flattered that the Peloton team was really, really (really) inspired by all we’re doing for our members…
In fact, we found 15 Peloton product, engineering, and design folks in the Ladder app and A LOT of activity this past year—over 1,500 Ladder app sessions since Jan!
Here’s a peek into the Daily Ladder app opens by this group of Peloton “trailblazers”!
But if you came here expecting us to complain about how Peloton literally copied our UI/UX screen-for-screen–we’re afraid you'll be disappointed.
“A new way to flex” huh? 🙃
Namely, that it looks, feels, and functions an awful lot like Ladder.
Or as Reddit user Designer_Bee_4112 noted, “They literally ripped off ladder lol.”
Today, Peloton announced the release of their new strength training app, Peloton Strength+.
Over the past few months, we’ve been getting some curious feedback from users testing Peloton Strength+ in beta…
