5/5
Yum and easy drink! Doesn't give you the shakes or a tingly face as well ??
5/5
Perfect for what I was after, it doesn't taste too sweet which is what I find with a lot of pre work outs. Gives me the right level of tingles to get my pump on.
5/5
I got the Fruit Punch flavour. Tastes more like cherry and is very bright red. Is a good product with the right amount of caffeine to boost my workouts. Small amount of itchy in the arms/hands but doesn't bother me. Would buy again
4.5/5

5/5
So good ! Good flavour - doesn’t give me jitters, wouldn’t change from this pre !!
5/5
All the energy without the anxiety or the jitters. Not gonna lie, I don't use it to work out, I take it and then spend five hours feeding calves, but find it great! Green Apple and Strawberry Lime are my fave flavours.
5/5
Gives a decent kick with 175mg of caffeine. The pre advanced has a better kick but this is very good to help balance your caffeine in take

3/5
Makes me quite nauseous (not sure why) but on a good day the flavour is yum and gives a tiny kick when you need it
5/5
Now my new go to pre workout, does the job perfectly! No complaints. PS The Pineapple flavour is amazing.
5/5
This pre workout tastes great, gives you a tiny amount of tingles (which is just enough for me as I don't really like them) and gets you through ann 1 1/2 hour long workout! Great for beginners/ people who are new to using pre workout as it is low stim, and great for using for evening workouts!
5/5
Great flavour, fast acting no gross come down

5/5

5/5
My go to! ON pineapple, without fail. Use it almost daily and love it.. Will always keep it topped up! Most probably a staple in supps..
5/5
Helps give you kick in the morning or before a gym session but without the tingles.
5/5
2 months ago This is an excellent product. It works. It much reduces left over stiffness and muscle aches; it aids mood and enthusiasm; improves vascularity in the sense of improving blood flow; it improves rep numbers and the weights that can be lifted; allows you to reduce rest time between sets; effective for a good hour of training. Use it with Elemental Pump - as I do - for best results
5/5
Great pre workout, doesn’t leave me feeling lazy in the afternoon
5/5
It’s really good because it gives me more energy just before going gym.
4.5/5
Great taste and works really well!
5/5
The pineapple and blue lemonade are both really good flavours, but the pineapple comes out on top. The watermelon is just a bit too sweet
5/5
Was a little nervous buying this product, as I’ve heard of bad side effects with caffeine type products. This Completely surprised me ... it tastes great, no side effects and Easy to use.
3/5
Liked the taste mixes well I actually had the green apple flavor which taste like tangy lollies. I didn't find it gave me a good boost though. Would recommend for low tolerant user
4/5
Flavor is not too sickly, and no jittery feelings
5/5
Great product and very fast delivery.
5/5
Really good product to give you a real good pump at the gym.
5/5
My go to. . . Literally before every training session! I swear by it! No tingles (unless you've had too much), could do with a smaller (narrow not wide) scoop to make dry scooping easier, however, that's never gonna make me opt out.. Always stay stocked! Pineapple is THE BEST!
5/5
Had the apple flavour one and it’s so yum, doesn’t taste bad at all and I dry scoop it! Also can notice a difference if I don’t take it, so definitely gives me a good boost of energy
5/5
Great pre work our product! Purchased the watermelon flavour, it’s very sweet but easy to drink quickly
4/5
Good get up before workout, great taste and gives you the boost you need
2.5/5
The first time using this preworkout I definitely found an increase in endurance and energy. However lately I've been finding that it hasn't really kicked in as much as what I'd like it to (find myself yawning in the gym). Not sure on whether to increase the amount on how much I use but taste is great!
5/5
Never taken pre workout before, but this got me in the zone ready to smash out a heavy session. It goes down well and at the moment watermelon is my favorite flavor
3/5
Not to bad how ever would prefer the C4 kick.
5/5
This pre workout is amazing I have never had the 'crash' feeling since switching to this brand and the flavors are great as wel!
5/5
I only have half a scoop as I don't have caffeine otherwise. It definitely does the trick and tastes really nice as well! Green apple hits different.
5/5

3.5/5
Second time ever trying a pre workout. First time was some crazy one which gave my body crazy pins and needles which apparently was normal but just drove me crazy and I'd been put off ever since. This pre workout both tastes good and gives you plenty of energy for a workout (even a long, heavy leg day) without feeling like you have fire ants under your skin. Would recommend to others and this will be my go to from now on.
5/5
Fantastic product use it before working out and I feel this helps
5/5

First pre workout I've used. Tastes great although it takes a little getting used to.
5/5
This is my go to for Pre Work Out Hands Down!! Long lasting, and don't get the come downs like other products. I've been using Gold Standard for over 2 years now and fully recommend this product to anyone looking to try a pre workout with a kick. Try it for yourself, you wont be disappointed! Just a quick note, I've tried all flavors and Green Apples my favorite!!
5/5

Excellent service as always and great product
4/5
Awesome product. Gives a good boost when you need it without excessive amounts of caffeine. Tastes good too!
5/5
Perfect for beginners. I have been slowly working my way up from half a scoop. It does give me a extra boost in the gym. Helps to feel motivated and have a productive workout every time. When looking for a pre-workout I was nervous about having too much energy or crashing but this one feels natural and doesn't affect me in a negative way. Watermelon is really yummy.
4/5
Love! Gives you a nice wee pick me up without making you feel too amped up give you that horrible shakey feeling. The green apple tastes so nice! I wasn't a big fan of the fruit punch but it was okay. The watermelon is very strong but nice and I loved the pineapple too. I haven't tried the blueberry or strawberry yet but I'm sure I will! Love taking this pre workout
4/5
This product is really good, when I feel I need a bit of a boost before working out this for sure gives me the energy and pump I need.. Not to be taken everyday tho, only when I need bit of energy..
5/5
I really like this pre workout. It works well and tastes really good. Green apples the best so far. It's awesome for newbies to pre workout to try too. It's small so easily fits in your bag, It's gold, so it doesn't get lost...in your bag. Long story short, fricken love it.
1/5
Really enjoy the flavor, however not feeling any big pumps or motivation from taking this pre work out compared to other pre works.
2.5/5

First time trying this product and I'll definitely buy again. Great taste!!!
5/5
Really good product. I had previously been using C4 and this is totally comparable, if not better. Great taste and find I don’t have to use quite as much as the C4. Excellent energy boost. Still tingly but I don’t mind that.
