The Clutch Difference: Why This Pre-Workout Is Built for CrossFit and Endurance Athletes

The Clutch Difference: Built for Athletes Who Actually Train Hard

Most pre-workouts are built for the pump-chasing bodybuilding world.
Clutch was built for performance.. for CrossFitters, Hyrox athletes, runners, and anyone training with high intensity.

Clutch isn’t here to make you tingle. It’s designed to help you perform better, breathe better, and stay strong through the entire workout… not just the first five minutes.

And this new batch takes a huge step forward with improved stimulants - a 2:1 blend of caffeine and di-caffeine malate which provides sustained energy, improved focus, and increased physical performance without a big spike and crash.


Smoother Energy: Caffeine + Di-Caffeine Malate

Two scoops gives you:

  • 200mg caffeine (fast-acting)

  • 100mg di-caffeine malate (slow-release)

Here’s why this matters:

Fast energy + long runway

The regular caffeine wakes you up immediately.
The di-caffeine malate releases slowly over time.

Result? A smooth, steady energy curve perfect for long workouts and endurance sessions.

No crash

Because the slow-release form tapers naturally, you don’t hit the typical “pre-workout wall” during the back half of your training.


PeakO₂: Your Oxygen Advantage

This is one of the biggest things that separates Clutch from typical pre-workouts.

PeakO₂ is a clinically researched mushroom blend shown to improve:

  • VO₂ max

  • Oxygen utilization

  • Time-to-exhaustion

  • Peak power

  • Overall endurance

For CrossFit and endurance athletes, this is a major performance edge.

Why PeakO₂ matters for your training style:

1. Better oxygen use = better pacing

You can hold a faster pace without redlining as quickly.

2. Higher work capacity

Perfect for EMOMs, long AMRAPs, rowing, assault bike, rucks, and high-volume WODs.

3. More power when fatigued

PeakO₂ improves peak power output even when you're already tired — huge for late-WOD barbell cycling.

4. Faster adaptation

Studies show athletes improve performance markers in as little as 7 days of use.

PeakO₂ is one of the reasons Clutch feels “cleaner” and “more athletic” than traditional pre-workouts — because it’s literally supporting your lungs, oxygen efficiency, and endurance.

It’s built for:
