Because you want to perform at your best to reach your goal FASTER. You want to go faster, harder, and stronger. You want to get lean, buff, toned. Whatever your goals are, you want (and deserve) optimal results.
Performance nutrition relies on the science of exercise physiology, which looks at how our bodies respond and recover from exercise around the clock. Performance nutrition factors in how our bodies respond to nutrition intake before, during, and after exercise, as well as at night, to determine the ideal supplement regimen for maximum ergogenic (performance-enhancing) effect. The goal being to help you perform, recover from, and adapt to intense training for the fastest possible improvement.
This methodology will work for anyone, not just athletes. If you’re exercising at all, this system helps you get the most out of your hard work. In other words, proper performance nutrition can maximize that training.
As industry leaders in home exercise and nutritional solutions, Beachbody® has redefined working out with products like P90X®, INSANITY®, and Body Beast®.

EFFICACY
Unlike performance supplements that give you a laundry list of ingredients in ineffective doses in order to sound impressive, Beachbody Performance is focused on the best ingredients from nature in doses that have been shown to be clinically effective.
THE LINE UP:
ENERGIZE
Pre-Workout (lemon flavor)
Simply put, Energize is designed to help you work harder for longer, and every rep you do, or every pound you lift, means means quicker results. Beta-alanine, low-dose caffeine, and quercetin are cutting-edge ingredients that help improve performance, sharpen focus, and delay exercise-induced muscle fatigue.
BETA-ALANINE
Beta-alanine is an amino acid that makes carnosine, a substance in your muscles that buffers muscle acid buildup. This acid buildup contributes to muscle fatigue. By consuming beta-alanine, you produce more carnosine. By producing more carnosine, your muscles will last longer so you can push yourself harder.
Numerous studies indicate that beta-alanine is especially effective at improving performance during intense exercise bouts, making it ideal for high intensity interval training (HIIT) and anaerobic training, which are a major component in many Beachbody programs.
LOW-DOSE CAFFEINE(from green tea)
Caffeine is an accepted component of the training and competition arsenal for athletes throughout the world, with studies showing benefits to athletes ranging from recreational to elite, in a variety of settings, including running, cycling, and various team sports.
This is because low-dose caffeine has been shown to be ergogenic, meaning it can help: enhance energy, improve reaction time, mental acuity and focus, and reduce fatigue. Studies point to it working via the central nervous system, delivering signals in your brain that give you both a mental and physical boost.
QUERCETIN
Quercetin is a phytonutrient that’s drawn attention lately for its ability to help improve exercise performance and recovery. It is believed to work by increasing the production of mitochondria—the “powerhouses” of our cells.
Exercise studies by leading exercise physiology-nutrition laboratories have shown that quercetin helps improve performance and fitness in healthy people. Research has shown it can also benefit elite athletes, including ultramarathon runners and cyclists.
HYDRATE
During Workout (citrus flavor)
Water alone during exercise isn’t the most effective way to hydrate. The body flourishes with an optimal balance of carbohydrates, electrolytes, and water. This balance is known as the fluid’s osmolality.
Osmosis is a process by which a solvent (such as water) passes through a semipermeable membrane (such as your gut lining) from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, in order to equalize the concentrations. If your hydration source is hypertonic and filled with sugar, it is more concentrated than your blood, so it may absorb slowly or even dehydrate you. Most commonly known sports drinks are hypertonic due to high sugar content. A hypotonic hydration source is less concentrated and will therefore absorb faster into your blood. Hydrate is slightly hypotonic, assuring rapid fluid absorption and ushering its electrolyte content, while aiding the body’s fluid balance.
When you exercise, you sweat—even if you don’t notice since it’s evaporating. And when you sweat, you lose water and electrolytes. In normal situations, we lose about half a gallon to a gallon of water per day. In highly active situations, we can lose in excess of 3 gallons. When used as recommended, Hydrate has been specifically formulated to account for your sweat losses during intense exercise, helping to improve exercise effectiveness and recovery.
RECOVER
Post-Workout (chocolate flavor)
Consuming the right nutrients after a training session is the most effective way to help improve your recovery. Recover does this by providing the proper proteins and phytonutrients to help facilitate muscle recovery and repair while helping reduce the exercise-induced catabolic response (muscle breakdown). Its key ingredients are shown to help support muscle glycogen recovery while managing exercise-induced muscle soreness.
A PROPRIETARY BLEND OF PROTEINS
Consuming 20 grams of high-quality protein immediately following a workout has been shown to be key in enabling muscle recovery and repair. By providing 20 grams of fast-, intermediate-, and slow-release proteins (whey isolate, pea, and micellar casein protein, respectively), Recover assures you have a sustained supply of amino acids, the components of protein that serve as your body’s building blocks.
In this blend, you’ll also find the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which are unique among amino acids for helping to promote muscle synthesis. Recover contains them in the optimal ratio of 2:1:1 (leucine: isoleucine: valine).
POMEGRANATE EXTRACT
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used by athletes of all levels to alleviate soreness, stiffness, and overall inflammation from intense exercise or competition. Multiple studies show they are associated with negative side effects, including gastrointestinal discomfort. Phytonutrients with recovery properties, minus the downside, are now being investigated as more natural and effective recovery aids.
In the exercise setting, the ellagitannin-rich pomegranate extract in Recover is shown to help reduce exercise-induced muscle soreness and improve strength recovery after intensive exercise, making it an important tool in your nutritional arsenal if you’re training on successive days—especially at the start of a program when you’re prone to soreness.
RECHARGE
Nighttime (vanilla flavor)
During sleep, your body is primed for recovery. Recharge is formulated to enhance this with nutrients specifically targeted to get the most out of your night. Key components in Recharge help to promote overnight muscle recovery and repair, and help combat exercise-induced muscle soreness.
MICELLAR CASEIN PROTEIN
Recharge contains micellar casein protein, an especially pure form of casein. It’s established that consuming 20 g of casein protein before bed improves overnight muscle recovery by stimulating protein synthesis (muscle building), and improves adaptation to exercise. As is the case with Recover, Recharge also contains an optimal ratio of BCAAs.
TART CHERRY
Anthocyanins are another phytonutrient being investigated as a natural recovery aid to combat exercise-induced inflammation and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). The anthocyanin-rich tart cherry extract in Recharge is shown to help reduce exercise-induced muscle soreness and improve recovery after intensive exercise, both in endurance and resistance-trained athletes.
CREATINE
Including Beachbody Performance Creatine in your performance nutrition plan can help you push your workout that much harder, leading to better performance and quicker results. While many studies have shown creatine’s ability to enhance the gains in lean muscle, muscle strength, and power when resistance training, research also shows creatine to benefit endurance athletes in the arenas of cycling, running, and swimming.
When you push your muscles to the point that they don’t have sufficient oxygen (your anaerobic threshold), your muscles rely on a substance called phosphocreatine to generate adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, for energy. Once you run out of phosphocreatine, your energy stores can be depleted, and when that happens, it can be your last rep, like it or not. Supplementing with Creatine can help increase your muscle creatine and phosphocreatine levels so that you can turn that last rep into your second- or third-to-last rep, and get more out of your workout.
Creatine contains 100% creatine monohydrate. Although several creatine variations have been created over the years, the research has never lived up to the hype. Creatine monohydrate remains the most scientifically proven effective form. Beachbody Performance Creatine is the purest and highest quality creatine monohydrate available.
