Frequently Asked Questions
What water bottle is best for the gym?
When choosing a water bottle for the gym, consider durability, capacity, and ease of use. Look for BPA-free plastic bottles that can withstand drops and intense workouts. Go for a size that fits your hydration needs and gym bag. Get started with our 1L Water Bottle, which offers a stylish, functional design tailored to active lifestyles – it's the perfect complement to our pre-workout range including QHUSH Black Pre-workout Powder.
How big should a gym water bottle be?
The ideal size for a gym water jug depends on your workout intensity and duration. Generally, a 1 to 2 litre capacity is sufficient for most gym sessions. Larger water jugs, like our durable 2.2L Jug, ensure you stay well-hydrated in even the toughest sessions. These jugs are also perfect for supporting your supplement intake. Try our BCAA Syntho Stack capsules, which provide a full range of BCAAs that can be an essential boost if you're following an ambitious training programme.
Can you work out with water jugs?
Water jugs can indeed be used for workouts, offering a versatile and cost-effective exercise tool. Filled water bottles provide adjustable weights for various exercises, enhancing strength and endurance. Our large-capacity 2.2L Water Jug, available in two colours, is perfect for keeping you hydrated and doubling as exercise equipment. Pair it with our Gold Series Pure Creatine Monohydrate Powder to support recovery and boost your strength.
How long can you keep water jugs?
The lifespan of water jugs depends on their material and usage. High-quality, BPA-free plastic jugs like our 1L Water Bottle, can last several years with proper care. Make sure to look out for any wear and tear – you might notice the taste changes if the water jug is not in good condition. Regular cleaning can also keep them going for longer. For optimal hygiene and performance, consider refreshing your water jug every year or two, especially if used frequently during intense workouts or outdoor activities.
How to stay hydrated when working out?
Staying hydrated during workouts is crucial. Drink water before exercising and then sip regularly throughout your session, preferably from a specially designed sports jug like our 2.2L Water Jug. Listen to your body and drink when thirsty. For intense or prolonged workouts, consider supplementing with an electrolyte drink, like USN's Instant Hydrator. This offers essential electrolytes and phosphates and reduces the risk of cramping, keeping you going through even the most demanding training sessions.
Is it ok to drink a lot of water at the gym?
Drinking water at the gym is essential for maintaining hydration and performance. Proper hydration supports endurance, reduces fatigue, and aids recovery. However, moderation is key. Sipping water regularly is better than gulping large amounts at once, which can create discomfort. Above all, you should listen to your body's thirst signals and use a reliable water bottle for the gym to help you track your intake.
How much water should I drink a day if I’m working out?
Although exact guidelines vary, you should be adding about 500ml of water to your daily intake per hour of exercise. Of course, this should be adjusted based on exercise intensity and where you're doing the training. Any water you lose through sweating will need to be taken into account. Hydrate before, during, and after workouts using gym water jugs – our 2.2L Water Jug has plenty of capacity – to track how much you've drunk. And if you're working out a lot, consider adding a supplement to boost energy levels and recovery times, like our Muscle Fuel Anabolic, a powerful all-in-one supplement packed with protein, creatine, and a range of vitamins and minerals.
How to stay hydrated if you sweat a lot?
If you tend to sweat a lot, you’ll need to pay more attention to hydration. Drink water before, during, and after exercise. Replace lost electrolytes by consuming foods rich in potassium and sodium or using electrolyte drinks. For example, our Nine Aminos Ultimate Workout Hydration is a stimulant-free electrolyte drink which is ideal for replenishing lost minerals and maintaining muscular energy levels.
