Cans vs Tubs: Which Pre-Workout Saves You More Money?

Cans vs Tubs: Which Pre-Workout Saves You More Money?

If you’re training at a gym in Nowra, pre-workout can be the difference between dragging through a session and smashing it. But is it smarter to grab a ready-to-drink can, or buy a big tub of powder? Let’s break it down.

🥤 The Case for Cans

  • Convenience: Crack it open and go — no shaker, no mess.

  • Portion control: Exact serving every time.

  • Downside: You pay extra for packaging and single-serve convenience.

🥄 The Case for Tubs

  • Value: Larger up-front cost, but way cheaper per serve.

  • Flexibility: Scoop a half-serve on lighter days, or add a bit more for heavy sessions.

  • Downside: You need a shaker, and flavours aren’t as “ready to go” as cans.

💰 Cost Comparison (Example)

  • Tub: 30 servings for $45 = $1.50 per serve

  • Can: $4.50 each = $4.50 per serve

Over a month of three workouts per week:

  • Tub = $18

  • Cans = $54

That’s a big difference for the same energy boost.

✅ Which Wins?

If you’re training regularly at Northy Gym, tubs save serious money. Cans are great for convenience or if you want to test a flavour, but tubs should be your go-to if you’re serious about results and saving cash.
