Pre-Workout Drinks (RTD)

Shop ready-to-drink pre-workout at Elite Supps. RTD (ready-to-drink) pre-workouts are pre-mixed cans and bottles that give you energy and focus with no scooping, shaking or mixing - just grab, sip and train. They are the most convenient way to get your pre-workout in, especially on the go. Every member of our team is a certified nutritionist, so you can choose with confidence.

Why Choose a Pre-Workout Drink?

RTD pre-workouts are perfect when convenience matters - heading straight from work to the gym, travelling, or if you just prefer a ready-made drink to a powder. The dose is pre-measured, so there is no guesswork, and the flavours are made to be easy to drink.

How They Work

Like powdered pre-workouts, most RTDs are built around caffeine for energy and focus (1), often with pump and endurance ingredients. Check the caffeine per can so you can match it to your tolerance.

How to Take It

Drink your RTD pre-workout around 20 to 30 minutes before training. Keep an eye on the caffeine per can and your daily total (FSANZ suggests around 400mg a day from all sources), and avoid it late in the day if it affects your sleep.
