Pre-Workout 101: How to Boost Energy Without the Crash

Let’s be honest—most people aren’t springing out of bed yelling “Let’s crush this workout!”

Sometimes, just getting out the door takes all the energy you’ve got. That’s where the right pre-workout can make all the difference—not just in how you start your workout, but how you feel afterward.

But not all pre-workouts are created equal.
Some leave you jittery. Others give you a crash that makes you question your life choices. And some… well, they just make you itchy and confused. 😳

At Impulse, we’re all about clean performance—energy, focus, and strength without the side effects.

💥 Why Pre-Workout? And Why Now?

After 20+ years in the gym space, we’ve seen all kinds of people walk through our doors. Some bounce in, others drag in—but nearly everyone wants the same thing: to feel better, perform stronger, and get more out of their training.

Pre-workout can help. But only if it’s the right one.

Here’s what a good pre-workout should do

  • Give you clean, focused energy
  • Help you push a little harder without feeling wrecked
  • Support better endurance and recovery
  • Leave you feeling better—not worse—after your workout

🚨 What Most Pre-Workouts Get Wrong

Many popular pre-workouts on the market today are loaded with:​

  • 🚫 Artificial sweeteners
  • 🚫 Over-the-top caffeine doses
  • 🚫 Unpronounceable chemical blends

And the result?
You feel wired... then weird... then wiped out.

We’ve seen clients walk into the gym shaking and bouncing off the walls from canned pre-workouts that might help them crush a circuit—but definitely don’t help them feel well afterward.

Energy shouldn’t come at the cost of your health.

🌿 What Makes Our Pre-Workout Different?

We created Natural Pre-Workout with one goal in mind:

🔬 Key Ingredients That Work With Your Body:

  • Caffeine Anhydrous (200mg) – Clean energy that lasts
  • Green Tea Extract (EGCG) – Supports metabolism and mental clarity
  • Ginseng – Fights fatigue and regulates blood sugar
  • Green Coffee Bean Extract – Packed with antioxidants for inflammation support
  • Astragalus Root Extract – Promotes gut health and nutrient absorption

No fillers. No junk. Just natural energy, focus, and strength support in every scoop.

🙋‍♀️ From the Coach’s Corner: A Personal Take

“For me, pre-workout is both a performance booster and a little reward. I usually take half a scoop before most workouts, and a full scoop before my long runs. I’ve tried a lot of formulas, but this one is clean, smooth, and effective—without the weird jitters or skin-crawling itch that some give you.”

“I don’t even drink much coffee anymore—this has replaced it for me on training days. And the best part? No crash.”

Whether you’re a caffeine lightweight or a former 5-cup-a-day coffee warrior, this formula is easy to adjust and gentle on your system.

✅ Who It’s For

This pre-workout is ideal for:​

  • Anyone who works out early and needs a boost
  • Those who’ve tried other pre-workouts and felt jittery or anxious
  • People who want clean ingredients and no artificial additives
  • Lifters, runners, class-goers, and anyone in between

If you’re sensitive to caffeine or managing hormone-related conditions, you can still start with a half scoop and adjust based on how you feel.

🕒 How to Use It (Timing + Tips)

  • Mix 1 scoop with 8 oz. of water
  • Drink 15–20 minutes before your workout
  • If you’re new to pre-workout, start with half a scoop to assess tolerance
  • Avoid taking it late in the day to protect sleep quality
