  • Xendurance has now arrived - Ask for more details 

    Xendurance
Xendurance - £39.95

What is it - 
Xendurance, a revolutionary athletic performance formula, that is clinically proven to reduce lactic acid by 15%, increase aerobic threshold by double digits and reduce muscle soreness.

Benefits of Xendurance - 
  • Reduce Lactic Acid
  • Improve Aerobic Threshold
  • Speeds Recovery
  • Reduces Muscle Soreness
Coach Martyn Feedback 
Xendurance was the 1st product I ever took from the range 3 years ago, I was shocked with the speed of recovery I gained. I stopped taking to see how much difference it would make but never got round to ordering more in. I have since been looking at how to change my nutrition to aid my training since competing in Tag and The British Champs and found that I was always hitting the Lactic acid wall early. I have been taking this for about a month now and have noticed massive changes in my ability to push my Lactic threshold longer before having to ease off intensity.  

  • Fuel 5
  • Fuel 5 - £29.95 

What is Fuel 5 - 
  • Fuel-5 is a cutting edge, energy, carbohydrate formula made up of 5 different forms of fuel: 4 different types of carbohydrates, plus lactate.

  •      Energy, carbohydrate blend to help stabilize blood sugar levels during exercise
  •      Enhance energy production for prolonged exercise
  •      Electrolytes and vitamins B6 & B12 to assist in recovery
  •      Helps to eliminate cramping and muscle burn
  •      Caffeine Free 

Coach Martyn Feedback
I have been taking this for the past few weeks, as I was looking for a pre work out drink that wasn't heavy on caffeine so I didn't get headaches or that buzz feeling. I have used this in normal training and during competitions and have found my energy levels increase through those 4-20 min wods. Im able to push harder and get into a darker place resulting in faster times and more consistent time for my interval work rather than seeing a massive drop off. 


    Creatine-JB  Creatine - JB - £26.95

Whats in it - 4 grams of 100% Creatine monohydrate 
                    1000 mg Lactate 

Creatine Muscle Building Benefits:
  • Improves maximal strength
  • Improve muscular endurance
  • Increases anaerobic power and performance
Creatine Performance Gains:
  • Up to 15% increased maximum power and endurance
  • Up to 20% additional power with interval training
  • Up to 30% power gain and energy release in the short-sprint range
  • Up to 15% more for sprint repetitions
  • More strenuous activity possible
  • Increase in muscle mass and muscle strength
  • Quicker recovery
Coach Martyn Feedback - 
During strength phases I have found I was missing something, surviving on food and amino acids wasn't enough so went looking for a good pure source of Creatine and found this. Since taking Creatine -JB I have definitely noticed a difference in my performance in the gym and on the competition floor. Like with everything I wanted to try before recommending it. 

  • Protein
  • Protein - £49.00

  • XENDURANCE PROTEIN is a proprietary protein sports blend of 18 amino acids containing Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Hydrolysate, Micellar Casein and Calcium Caseinate. This protein blend has been produced with cold process filtration that allows it to be in its most bio-available and digestible form. Maximising absorption rate and utilisation of protein is key to muscle recovery, which puts XENDURANCE PROTEIN in a league of its own. XENDURANCE PROTEIN also contains 1500 mg of lactate, the body's preferred and most efficient fuel source over glycogen. This key muscle fuel helps you lower exercise induced body acid, allowing your body to recover faster. In addition, XENDURANCE PROTEIN contains the US Recommended Daily Value of vitamins B6, B12, D, along with 4255mg of BCAAs and essential electrolytes.

  • Coach Martyn Feedback - 
  • Although this is expensive I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for, I have never gone for the cheaper protein drinks as I always feel they cut corners. Xendurance have done really well with this protein, not only does it taste great but Im starting see great changes in shape and recovery
