Whether you’ve just joined the gym or you’re a full-blown fitness fanatic, summer is a great time to take stock of your wellbeing and think about your health goals. From your supplement protocol to your workout gear, there’s plenty to consider.
If you’re at the start of your health journey it can be tricky to know what to invest in and what might work best for you. There’s nothing worse than buying a trending product only to find it isn’t quite right for you – and this can happen a lot in the world of fitness.
But fear not. I’m a fitness editor and I’ve tried pretty much every product for better health and wellbeing there is to try.
I’ve also scoured the payday sale at Myprotein to identify the best deals for newbies and experts alike, so that you can shop the products you need to support your fitness for a little, or a lot less. These are my recommendations for beginners, men’s and women’s health, seasoned gym goers and specialist training, with up to 70 per cent off.
How we tested the best deals
When I said I’ve tried everything, I really have tried everything, so these picks from Myprotein are all dependent on the quality of the product and value for money. I’ve selected sale items to suit every concern, and rated how useful and effective each can be for different fitness levels and body types. Each product has been tested based on its effectiveness over time and on how affordable it is, as well as the flavour, how simple it is to take and how good it looks.
