The Best Pre-Workout Supplements of 2022

Multivitamins | Best Test Boosters | Best Weight-Loss | Best BCAAs

For a certain type of lifter, there’s nothing like the feeling that comes along with taking a pre-workout and then hitting the gym. A good pre-workout supplement can turn an early morning slog into a fire training session, or an afternoon slump into an ultra-productive workout.

The right one, paired like a fine wine with the right workout, takes every set and rep from “solid” to “spectacular.” The weights feel lighter, the pumps feel bigger. If you’re serious about training—and are friends with caffeine—it’s a can’t-miss experience.

If you’re looking for a new favorite pre, or you’re just searching for the perfect one to get you started, this list is exactly what you need. No matter what your goals might be—get yoked, burn fat, keep on keepin’ on, or you just want to get a little more out of your workouts—you can find what you need here.

Here are the best pre-workouts of 2022.

How We Choose the Best Pre-Workouts

We’ve been in the business of selling supps—and taking them—for the last 20 years, which means we know the best supps because our team members and athletes have tried them and put them to the test.

For this list, we took it a step further and used a rather comprehensive collection of data to help us make our decisions. Here is what we considered before finalizing the list:

Customer Ratings and Reviews: Our customers are our most valuable resource, and we learn a lot about our products through them. We trust their opinion, and they trust us to deliver the best.
Formula: Today’s pre-workout users are more discerning than ever. Our community knows a heck of a lot about the essential pre-workout ingredients and dosages and how they impact the body. We certainly took it all into account.
Flavor: The formula might be great, but if the taste isn’t, then you’re probably not going to buy it again. Rest assured, flavor was a big part of how we made our decisions. And our customers don’t just review products—they rate flavors like true connoisseurs. And they know their stuff.
Value: We care about the money our customers spend with us. So, you’d better believe the pre-workouts in this list are all a great value.
