AS SEEN FUELING ATHLETES AT
If you’re an Athlete who runs and lifts — and rows, burpees, squats, lunges, pushes, pulls, and then runs some more — you have a hybrid fueling problem.
-
80% of a race is near max heart rate
At race intensity, you burn carbs faster than you'd think. Above lactate threshold, carbs are your primary fuel, and when you run low, your pace drops and performance falls.
-
Existing fuel was built for other training
Endurance gels were built for steady running. Pre-workouts were built for lifting. Neither is designed for both aerobic and anaerobic efforts in the same session.
-
Underfueling costs you more than just performance
50% of athletes aren't fueling enough to cover their training, likely much higher for hybrid athletes. The cost is lower performance, slower recovery, less adaptation, and higher injury risk.
Everyday Athlete is the first fuel system built for the demands of hybrid training.
16 performance ingredients, each clinically supported to help athletes go faster, harder, or longer. No powders, no mess, no stomach issues.
ENERGY
the first functional energy gel made for hybrid athletes
Most energy gels are just simple carbs.
Our Energy Gel is the only gel made with clean carbs + scientifically validated ingredients to boost endurance and power.
CARBS+
Carb Gel built for hybrid athletes
25g of carbs from Palatinose, glucose, and fructose, plus 160mg of sodium and no caffeine. The flavor is a light white peach.
Take one every 30 minutes of hard effort. For most hybrid races, that's one or two.
REFUEL
the only gel built for recovery
A powerful trio of protein, creatine, and carbs support your readiness to train tomorrow.

What the research actually says about fueling for performance
45% of athletes start underfueled.
This 2024 meta-analysis of 59 studies found that 45% of athletes train underfueled, with measurable costs: lower performance and recovery, suppressed testosterone, higher injury risk, and more missed sessions.
70% of muscle glycogen can be burned in a 1-hour HIIT session.
At 30% glycogen, fast-twitch muscle fibers are compromised first, reducing your pace and power output. Data shows the deficit can remain for up to two days, slowing recovery. Taking carbs before and during maintains your output.
80% of a HYROX race is above 90% max heart rate.
At that intensity, you burn carbs faster than you'd think. Above lactate threshold, carbs are your primary fuel, and when you run low, your pace drops and performance falls.
Increasing carbs reliably improves endurance performance.
A meta-analysis of 96 studies found carbs taken with exercise significantly improved performance and time-to-exhaustion. Even a one-hour HIIT class can burn up to 70% of your muscle glycogen.
4.6% more power, 2.7% faster with Palatinose.
A 2016 study compared Palatinose to maltodextrin in trained athletes. The Palatinose group finished a post-endurance time trial 2.7% faster and produced 4.6% more power. Learn why Palatinose is unique here.
1.5-3% faster time trials with Beetroot and L-Citrulline.
Both raise nitric oxide, increasing blood flow and oxygen to muscles. In trained athletes, l-citrulline cut time trials by 1.5% and lessened fatigue, while beetroot improved time by 3%, helping athletes hold strength when tired.
4% faster, measurably sharper focus with Caffeine.
Decades of research shows caffeine improves speed, focus, and power. In one study, a low dose helped cyclists finish 4% faster. But more isn't better. Too much causes jitters, anxiety, and poor sleep. In a 2026 randomized trial, pairing caffeine with blue ginger extended and smoothed its effects.
5 hours of increased alertness when caffeine is paired with Thai ginger.
In a 2026 randomized trial, pairing caffeine with Thai ginger (enXtra) prevented the spike and crash, and extended its alertness effect for up to 5 hours.
10 more minutes of high-intensity capacity when you refuel immediately after training.
A 2024 study showed refueling with carbs immediately post-exercise (rather than waiting 3 hours) increased next-day high-intensity capacity by 10 minutes, while feeling ~2 RPE points easier. Adding protein with carbs increased muscle glycogen by 18–38% over carbs alone.
FAQ
Do I need all three gels?
No. For sessions under 60 minutes, ENERGY before and REFUEL after is enough. For longer sessions, runs and race days, add CARBS+ during: one every 30 minutes of hard effort.
How much caffeine is in them?
ENERGY has 75mg of caffeine, paired with blue ginger. CARBS+ and REFUEL have no caffeine.
Will they upset my stomach?
All three gels are designed to be easy on the gut. ENERGY's carbs come from gut-friendly Palatinose, and CARBS+ is built to sit well mid-session. They also have no preservatives or artificial flavors. No powders, no mess.
How long does a bag last?
Every bag holds 12 gels. With one ENERGY before and one REFUEL after each session, one bag of each covers 12 sessions, about a month at 3-4 sessions a week. Training 5-7 times a week? Choose two bags of each.
How does the subscription work?
