Perfec
This little tub gives you more servings than the bigger tub. Always check what it gives you on the ingredients but hopefully they don’t change this formula; can clearly notice a difference in sustained energy levels. The best one I’ve used
Nice flavours
Does what it is. I’m quite sceptical when it comes to certain pre workout powders. This doesn’t leave my face tingly like other products. The flavours are very nice and easy to make.
Best Preworkout I’ve tried (blue raspberry)
I’ve tried quite a lot of pre workout mixes and this one seems to have stood out for me. I use a fair few different ON products and thought I would give this one a go. Missed really well, taste is spot on and doesn’t repeat on you like a few of them do. Had it about 45 minutes before a kettle bell class and literally felt so powerful through the class. Kept me going for the full hour. Highly recommended.
After trying many and going through the dreaded itches and icy feeling I came across this. Was expecting it to give me tingles but nothing just HEAPS of energy. Could have run to Antarctica and back
Highly Recommended
I recently had the opportunity to try the Pre-Workout, and I must say it left quite an impression on me. As someone who is always on the lookout for convenient and nutritious options to support an active lifestyle, I found this Pre-Workout to be a standout choice.
Good pre workou
This was my first ever pre workout and it did the job it made my whole body tingly the only thing is tho after 1month of using it my stomach started to hurt a lot so I just take breaks from it and that seemed to work
Tastes great, improves my performance and doesn't give that awful itch!
Fruit Punch tastes more like cherry to me, but it’s really delicious.
I read other reviews saying the “itch” was bad but it’s honestly had much less effect on me than other preworkouts! I get a slight tingle in my nose for 5-10 mins and then it goes.
My favourite pre workout ye
Awesome Pre
This Pre workout was one of my favorites
The flavor was amazing. The candy was super sweet and a nice perk before the workout
The hit was great and stayed through all my workout. died off a little later but enough to give you the full workout
Sometimes the hit can be a bit strong and your face might tingle
Exactly what it is
This is a preworkout sold at my gym in little bottles usually at a couple quid a go, so made sense to buy a tub. Taste is fine, I don’t tend to drink it for the taste to be honest.
Works well
Pre work out tastes good and gives me the energy to work out for around 3 hours before feeling significantly tired. The pre work out does tend to make me shiver after drinking and about 20 minutes post drinking will make my face really icy for ~ 5 minutes but after that it is fine. Would recommend as it is much better than other pre workouts I have taken.
It’s definitely got a tangy taste, probably the best flavour and it mixes in good using a shaker. The only downside is that it gives an uncomfortable sensation by making me feel all tingly and itchy but it does go away after a few mins, just have to bear with i
I have tried 4 different brands of pre-workouts and this seems to be the only one that doesn’t make my cheeks and hands tingle/itch like crazy.
I have terrible anxiety so I take this 20 mins before I start my workout and even before I’ve started my heart is racing (but not in a bad way). Other pre workouts have actually triggered weird amounts of anxiety and it doesn’t subside until 30 minutes into my workout. This pre-workout doesn’t seem to have that effect (which is obviously a good thing). It also has added creatine which is great for me as I don’t have to take that separately anymore.
The flavour is okay (I bought the Fruit Punch) but I’m burning more calories in the gym and that’s what matters to me. There is no crash and it really pushes me with my strength training. Definitely does the job and I’ll stick to this now.
Works like a wonder !! Very strong effects to boost your muscles function against weights. Your heart will be strong as well . I am blown to see how far I can push myself in my gym .
Only the caution I would give is not to take optimum nutrition protein with this pre work out at the same time as I had experienced fast heart beats and felt unwell. I could still continue my cardio class to attend but do not recommend to do the same ! It was like a heavy heart and struggle to breathe. If you are not a good swimmer possibly you will get anxiety !
Otherwise this is perfect . Stunning effects to bring ourselves to the next stages without much struggles! Light push would move you super far . One cup is more than enough for me for a normal gym sessions plus machines .th day i take this brings always astonishing records of walking or weights to lift by legs etc . Brings me a wow sensation and keep me shaped and fit . Mind and head are clearer too !
I have tried many pre workouts over the past 7 years of serious training and I can confirm this is a great product and arrived and performed as advertised.
After consuming the recommended portion I got the classic “pre work out tingling sensation” throughout my lips, this subsided after 20 minutes and reappeared once I was running when I temporarily could feel this sensation across my entire face. This is normal for pre workouts. I believe and don’t quote me on this, but I am almost sure this is due to a sudden high dose in caffeine so it is nothing to be scared of.
Could the taste be better? Yes. Is it perfect? No. Are other competitor products as good if not better? Yes, however at a cost. My favourite pre workout is probably Cellular C4; due to the taste, it tastes like an over the counter energy drink (especially the watermelon flavor, my favorite and go to pre workout). Where as this particular drink tastes somewhat “chemically” however on amazon cellular C4 is almost 50% more in price at the time of purchase. This product is a great alternative to the more expensive brands.
All in all I would recommend this product. Gave me the boost in motivation and focus I was looking for. The product is by no means a placebo (as some people in the reviews are saying!) – therefore closely follow the guidance on dosage as I have physically witnessed people take to much pre workout and seen the results first hand…it isn’t pretty…que: up set stomach, migraines, anxiety and even a panic attack as I once saw at a local gym in which I had to intervene and help the teenager.
Personally I was never a fan of pre workout because I never thought I needed it. Take what I say which a pinch of salt, this is my anecdotal experience.
After taking a 2 year long break from working out due to injury, I decided to take some of this pre workout. I previously peaked at 200kg deadlift without the aid of pre workout supplements and boy did they work.
I figured that it would help me lift a bit more and enable myself to push harder in the gym without burning myself out too quickly.
Little did I know, that half way throughout my workout I would be pulling 10 plates on the row machine when I was only used to 6 and deadlifting 160kg within the 4th week of my gym routine. I honestly felt like I was never fatiguing.
If you’re in need of a kick and require the energy to get through your workout, this will help you achieve that goal. It contains various amino acids which contribute to the maintenance and growth of muscle and prevents the body muscle break down.
The creatine in this will help provide your muscles with ATP, the energy required to lift more in the gym and you will start to fatigue less quickly.
The caffeine is 175mg and has an effect on the central nervous system, providing you with the energy you need to lift.
The supplement is “gold standard” so you know you’re getting the ingredients listed on the tub.
I advise that you do not use pre workout too often for every workout as its easy to build a tolerance to caffeine, meaning you won’t get the same effect every time you workout.
The pre workout also tastes pretty good, quite sweet and chemically but it doesn’t taste too bad, you get used to it.
I highly recommend this.
