made for your ladderpod

Turn your LadderPod into a complete lower-body station

The RollerPad gives you a cushioned surface you can comfortably load heavy weight against. Now you can add weight and keep progressing, building more strength and getting more out of your LadderPod.

Comfort on every rep
The cushioned surface spreads pressure across a wider area, so discomfort isn't what ends your set.

More load, more range
When the surface stops limiting you, you can keep adding weight and achieve fulll depth on every rep.

Wakes up stabilizers
The subtle roll fires the small glute stabilizers most rehab misses — turning your LadderPod into a balance and control tool too.

Split squat

Single-leg stability and eccentric control through hip flexion — the frontal-plane strength that stops compensatory overload.

Hip thrust

Peak glute-max activation at end-range extension with minimal flexion demand — the safest way to load heavy through a cranky hip.

Hamstring bridge

Retrains the glute firing pattern in a low-threat, low-compression position that’s tolerated even when the hip is irritable.

Copenhagen plank

Directly loads the adductors while demanding hip-stabilizer co-contraction — the missing piece for groin and adductor pain.

Customers praise this hip rehab and strength accessory as a "great addition" for Bulgarian split squats and hip thrusts. Most find it easy to install, sturdy, and comfortable with good padding. Seniors especially appreciate the safety and versatility. Some concerns about stability, padding thickness, and storage options.

This is a great addition to the ladderpod for hip

This is a great addition to the ladderpod for hip exercises. It is easy to install on the ladder pod

Great addition to the Ladder Pod

Great addition to the Ladder Pod. A number of exercises and stretches are easier to perform using this. I would highly recommend.

Can do Bulgarian split squats now

My ankles are not flexible enough for me to use a platform to support my back foot when doing Bulgarian split squats. I need to hook my foot over something padded and relatively low. The RollerPad fits perfectly on my LadderPod and allows me to do the BSSs properly. I look forward to rolling my posterior chain and back on it, too.

Thanks, Wilson! We’re glad the RollerPad works perfectly with your LadderPod and helps you do Bulgarian split squats comfortably. Enjoy using it for your rolling, too!

A74 year old who looks forward to split squats

I am a 74 year old active retired physician. This Sidekick product far exceeded my expectations. Great value. Sturdy. Easy to use. I now look forward to my Bulgarian split squats. I feel safe. Makes all the difference in the world.

Worth the money!

Great product, highly recommended it

Excellent addition

Easy decision to add the roller. Small price to pay for the additional versatility for my at-home training.

Good for elevating foot could be better.

It’s good if I had one complaint I’d say I wish it had a little more padding. But it is good enough. Also wish they put more thought into storage when not in use.

I like the idea of the LadderPod but…

I like the idea of the LadderPod but I have two concerns. Firstly, the device is not very sturdily attached to the uprights. It is easily knocked out of the notches on the stand when trying to get into position. Secondly, the pod rotates very easily which makes it difficult to position one’s body. I feel unsteady especially when attempting hip thrusts.
It would be helpful to have better instructions on how and when to install the extra support. We put together the main ladder and then opened the pod box. It says in the book that the extra support is only needed for the hip thrusts but it is shown for all the exercises. This meant we had to unassemble the ladder to attach the support extension. Perhaps the ladder instructions could include a side note for people who have ordered the pod as well to make assembly more straightforward. The pod seems to be very limited in usefulness since all but the hip thrust exercises can be done easily with the ladder. I guess I misunderstood its usefulness.

product works exactly like expected and came very quickly and was easy to install. I love it

RollerPad is perfect for Bulgarian Split Squats

I purchased the RollerPad for Bulgarian Split Squats almost exclusively and it's been wonderful for that. My foot always felt so awkward on a flat surface. This is loads better!

Great addition to the Ladder Pod

Great addition to the Ladder Pod. Padding is comfortable, bar is stable. If you can afford it, bundle it with your ladder pod.

RollerPad great addition

As a senior 74 yrs, I can incorporate RollerPad into my daily routine.
I fractured right femur 12/23. This equipment along with Sidekick will be a great addition to exercise routine. RollerPad will help in balance and strengthening. It's a great addition.

How is this different from doing exercises on the bare LadderPod?

You can do many of them without it — until you add load. The cushioned, rolling surface keeps the movements comfortable at heavier loads and through a bigger range, so you can actually keep progressing.
Is there a subscription for the app?

No. The Sidekick app and your physical therapy program are free with the RollerPad and stay free for life. You pay once and nothing after.
What exercises is built for?

It’s designed around four core hip movements — the split squat, hip thrust, hamstring bridge, and Copenhagen plank — which together cover the posterior chain, lateral stabilizers, and adductors.
Do I need the LadderPod to use the RollerPad?

Yes. The RollerPad is an attachment that bolts onto the LadderPod platform. If you don’t have one yet, add the LadderPod to your order and they’ll ship together.
How often should I use the LadderPod?

Most users benefit from using the LadderPod 3–5 times per week. Start slowly, listen to your body, and increase frequency only as your endurance and tolerance improve.
Should I feel discomfort or pain?

Mild muscle discomfort is normal as your body adapts. Sharp or worsening pain is a sign to stop. Allow extra rest, and when you resume, use a lower height or lighter intensity to rebuild tolerance safely.
What is the maximum weight limit?

The LadderPod is built to safely support users up to 400 lbs (181 kg).
How long will it take to see improvement in strength or mobility?

Most users begin to notice improvements within 2–4 weeks of consistent use, but recovery timelines vary depending on the injury and individual effort. Stay patient and consistent with your program.
