The Genius Brand Genius Pre - Clean Pre-Workout Powder for Energy, Focus & Fitness Support - No Artificial Flavors, Preservatives, or Proprietary Blends - Non-GMO - 20 Servings - Blue Raspberry

Edit: THEY GOT RID OF THE GREEN APPLE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! It was arguably their best ooonneee!!! Plus, if you mixed it with their Genius Muscle, you could make caramel apple! It was sooo goood!!! Original: As someone who's favorite flavor has been Blue Raspberry literally my entire life in every solid "food" (candy, icing, etc) I can think of (except ice cream?? I don't think I've heard of that though) I can't say I like the blue raspberry here because it tastes so different from what I expect blue raspberry to taste like. This seems to be just... a thing with this brand though, as I've experienced the same with the Salted Caramel Brilliant Brew (SC has been my favorite flavor of drink like coffee my whole life) and that tasted oddly gross, too. The scoop for the Blue Raspberry was awful, it was too short and forced you to have a "heaping scoop" to get the serving size which, let's be honest, can never be precise as the heaps can vary widely by person, by day, by scoop. I ordered it July of 2024, it's now April 2025 and I've finally moved onto Green Apple so I can't tell if the scoop changed overall or if the Green Apple has a better scoop but look at this perfection! Did this in one take, just scooped, used the inside ledge to level it and BAM! I've never seen anything be so precise and the extra 0.044 was probably just from the powder on the handle. I hate guess work, I like to be able to work from a certain standard without being low-balled, so now if I choose to do a heaping scoop at least I know what I'm getting. Yes, I drew green apples on my label because Genius has a thing for over-minimalism and the flavor text is small so if you have multiple products from them it becomes difficult to tell at a glance what you're grabbing, esp, I'd assume, if you have bad eyesight considering I have 20-20 and still have troubles with having to look for what the flavor is, so I've taken to drawing on all of them (cacao bean plant for the cocoa brew, dripping pool of caramel for the caramel, you get the point) so that I can tell at a glance what I'm grabbing without having to try to read them. I bought the Green Apple along with Volcarn 2000 Tropical Blast and tried them both for the first time today. Since the Blue Raspberry was assaultingly strongly flavored (and I like strong flavors), I overfilled for the Green Apple out of habit so it was a little light but still good. Perhaps due to this, after trying the Green Apple my first thought was to think that it'd probably taste even better with the Tropical Blast so I took a swig of the former and a sip of the latter and _immediately_ mixed the rest of it together because HFS IT WAS SO GOOD!! I struggle to wake up, I'm the type that takes literal hours if not an entire day just to feel functional but this flavor combination was so good that just the flavor alone woke me up and got me moving.

I am an avid pre workout user and I've been lifting for years. I actually remember when pre workout supplements really became popular. I was hardcore into Jack3d but really who wasn't at the time? As I've grown older and gained more experienced, I've learned a thing or two about pre workouts and I've grown very skeptical of a lot of brands. After Jack3d was recalled, I started reading more about the dangers that DMAA presents and I got really confused as to why was marketed as a pre-workout. You had people dying and I think it gave a terrible name to pre-workout! Then N.O. Xplode rolled around and the scoops were 10 times the size of Jack3d. Hold on now.... You're supposed to get actual workout ingredients in your pre??? It all clicked for me about 3 or 4 years ago when Pre JYM came on the market and Dr Stoppani broke down what is actually supposed to be in your pre. It was like a light bulb came on and that's when I really started to research myself. I really liked Pre JYM for awhile but it was no different in the sense that I still built up a tolerance and it made me have a nasty dependency on all of the caffeine. Most people don't like the jitters and all of that caffeine dependency & Genius has brought to light that caffeine isn't even good for your pump!! Why do I call this the best pre workout for EVERYBODY? Because they nailed it. They've got all the best ingredients that you actually need to workout. Similar to what JYM did but better, honestly. Then they ditched the caffeine and included really strong nootropics! I love it because you aren't wired, jittery or anxious but you are focused and locked in on your workout. It's great for anyone because it's safe enough for the newbies that are looking to try pre. 100% safe actually with no stimulants but it's also dosed at appropriate levels for even the most intense of gym go-ers. Genius gives pre workout a great name and I really respect them for that. I will admit (and this is a good tip for you stim-beasts out there), I will occasionally mix in a couple of pills of genius caffeine on the days that I'm feeling lazy. Genius BCAA actually makes for a pretty good pick me up too. It's got 100mg per serving and I take that most days so sometimes I will go ahead and mix. Either way, I tip my cap here to the brand that is doing it right. I'm not affiliated with the brand in any way, I just felt compelled to really share how I feel about it here. I like seeing people use supplements that can help them and this is just that.

I've been using Genius Pre Workout for about a week now, pairing it with another product from the same brand, Genius Muscle. Here's my experience so far: I decided to try Genius to switch up from my typical pre which are Gorilla Mind and Satori 3.0 Personal Experience: The taste of the pre-workout is pretty great, even though taste isn't a major factor for me. It mixes well with water and is easy to drink. Benefits: The pump I get from this pre-workout is quite good, rating it a solid 4/5. It doesn't feel like my arms are going to explode, but the pump is definitely noticeable and enhances my workouts. As for the energy boost, I would give it a 3/5. Unlike other caffeine-free pre-workouts I've tried, the energy boost from Genius Pre Workout is subtle. It's there, but not as pronounced as I would have liked. In terms of focus, I'd rate it a 3/5. It's not the best I've experienced, and nothing compares to the focus I get from caffeine-based pre-workouts. However, for a stimulant-free option, it does keep me fairly engaged in my workouts. I suspect I might have built up a tolerance to stimulant-free pre-workouts, so this could vary for others. Conclusion: Overall, Genius provides a solid performance with good pumps and a moderate energy boost. If you're looking for a stimulant-free pre-workout, it's worth giving this one a try. It may work differently for others, but for me, it has been a decent addition to my workout routine.

Most people realize that caffeine pumps are not good for your muscles so this is my go to for workouts for three years now I’ve tried all the rest and there’s nothing else as good. If it sits too hard, it gets a little hardened, but no big deal-I mix a quarter teaspoon of cayenne pepper for an extra kick A touch expensive but quality is worth it

I’ve tried a lot of stimulant free pre-workout powders in my lifetime. This one by far gives me the best pump. The only other comparable one would be transparent labs. Not that it matters to me, but the taste was fine. I typically use unsweetened and unflavored pre-workout powders, so I can stomach just about anything. The taste is not so much as important to me as how the pre-workout makes me feel. This pre-workout powder gave me the most pump I’ve ever felt and enough energy to get through a hard-core workout. I also feel more vascularity than usual with this pre-workout powder. I have no negative feedback about this product and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a stimulant, free, clean, third-party tested pre-workout powder without any added crap like most other pre-workout powders have.

I like the ingredients of this product but it does not deliver a kick. The taste is OK but next time I will try the caffeinated version.

I’ve tried numerous pre-workout supplements over the years, but Genius Pre Workout Powder in Sour Cherry has quickly become my absolute favorite and my new go-to! First off, the taste is fantastic. The sour cherry flavor strikes a perfect balance - it’s tangy and refreshing without being overly sweet or artificial. Speaking of which, I appreciate that this product contains no artificial flavors, sweeteners, or dyes. It’s a rare find in a market saturated with overly processed supplements. What truly sets this pre-workout apart for me is its all-natural, caffeine-free formula. I’m sensitive to caffeine, so finding an effective pre-workout without it can be challenging. Genius Pre Workout delivers a clean energy boost that’s perfect for my early morning workouts without the jitters or crash associated with caffeine. The inclusion of nootropic ingredients like Alpha GPC and beta-alanine is a game-changer. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my focus and mental clarity during workouts, allowing me to push through my routines with greater intensity and concentration. The added benefit of nitric oxide boosters enhances my performance and endurance, making each session more productive. Overall, Genius Pre Workout Powder has exceeded my expectations. It’s effective, clean, and thoughtfully formulated. If you’re looking for a natural, caffeine-free pre-workout that delivers on its promises, I highly recommend giving this one a try. It’s truly a genius product!

Over the years I have used everything from Cellucor to Muscletech and if there is one thing I can tell you about the vast majority of pre-workout mixes on the market today it's that they all pretty much do the same thing, accompanied by varying degrees of stomach issues and artificial flavors/ chemicals. Genius has been a bit different though... Four workouts in now and I can safely say there is no placebo effect at play here. Especially since those workouts have been consecutively one day after the next. I have not had issues with naseau. I have not had difficulty getting to sleep at night after (I workout a lot in the evenings). There have been no crashes, no weird headaches, nada. What I have experienced are some incredible workouts. Take yesterday for example. Training at the park, I went through my usual 45 minute long routine. At the end of it... I felt like doing more, but something a bit different. So I did an addition 15 minutes of pull-ups, dips, and squats. But at the end of THAT, I still wanted to keep going. And going... And going. To be clear, you don't feel hyper on this stuff. You just feel like you have the energy to do it. You're not bouncing off the walls, you're just... motivated. But I've had other products that made me feel similarly. The difference is, at the end of the day I was able to SLEEP. My mind wasn't still going a mile a minute. I could relax and sleep throughout the entire night without any sort of lingering effects. But that's enough about the effects. What about taste? Well, it tastes pretty good. Not nearly as artificial as Evlution's "Blue Raz" nor as sour as Cellucor's Cherry Limeade. And the aftertaste was nowhere near as offensive as either. It also mixed well. There were a few clumps initially, but the powder dissolves, unlike other brands that often leave large clumps of stuff at the bottom of the cup. All of that is literally just on the surface though. What has been most impressive with this product is the ingredients. Caffeine-free, no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or coloring. How they made a caffeine-free pre-workout that still makes me feel like I have the energy to run 100 miles is beyond me, but they've certainly done it. Honestly, to put it simply... this formula is a work of sheer genius!
