Why Try Loaded Ladder? 

Loaded Ladder brings the best agility and strength training together. Begin with a base exercise in one modality, then tier up the complexity with two more rounds, then switch modalities: strength to ladder, ladder to strength, with core sets in between. Maximize your time for phenomenal results! 

What Is Loaded Ladder Like? 

Loaded Ladder is strength training with dumbbells, alternated with high-octane cardio bursts on agility ladders and 30 second core challenges. Begin with the base exercise, then level up as you load the ladder and increase intensity loading up to the ultimate overload.

All levels of fitness are welcome in this fabulous total body strength and cardio workout. Options are demonstrated for both the strength, core, and the cardio exercises so rookie exercisers will feel empowered and workout warriors will be challenged.  

Is Loaded Ladder a Good Workout?  

Loaded Ladder is an excellent class to climb to your highest fitness levels. Loaded Ladder improves your agility, cardiovascular, and strength health.  

• Agility Training Benefits. Agility training increases flexibility, balance, and control. Keeping the core tight during speedwork allows for better body posture and trains participants to keep better alignment during movement, protecting vulnerable areas like the back, shoulders, and ankles. A study by the USAir Force found that participants of agility training not only increased their VO2 max and improve their balance, but their memory, focus, and concentration increased as well! 

•  Cardiovascular Benefits. A high-intensity cardiovascular class such as Loaded Ladder allows for strengthening the heart, increasing blood flow throughout the body, lowering blood pressure, and raising “good” cholesterol (HDL) while simultaneously lowering “bad” cholesterol (LDL) levels in the blood. 

•  Strength Benefits. By using both simple and compound strength moves that work both upper and lower body simultaneously, participants maximize their time, burning more calories, strengthening more muscle groups, and developing greater flexibility and coordination.

How Difficult is Loaded Ladder? 

6/10 Loaded Ladder is for everyone. The class is drill-based, easy for anyone to follow and super fun, so people of all fitness levels will enjoy Loaded Ladder.  

How Long Is Loaded Ladder? 

Loaded Ladder is 30 minutes of strength, cardio, and core training for intense fat-burning muscle-building fun.
