Since its inception in 2021, athletes have enjoyed PODIUM products, including hydration, creatine, protein, and more, all guided by experience, efficacy, and honesty.
One of PODIUM’s bestsellers is Legacy FUSE, a pre-workout perfectly formulated to help you power through your most challenging workouts. Now, the best has gotten even better with the release of PODIUM’s FUSE 2025 pre-workout formula – 20% more active ingredients in 2025 for $10 less than Legacy FUSE.
The new FUSE 2025 product is NSF Sport certified, meaning every batch and lot is officially competition-approved, rigorously third-party tested, and safe for all sports.
- The NSF Sport Certification is recognized by USADA, MLB, and NHL and is recommended by the NFL, NBA, and more. Offering a product that is NSF Sport certified means that FUSE 2025 is beneficial not only to CrossFit Games athletes but also to athletes in all sports.
The Details
No other supplement or sports nutrition brand has publicly committed to annual innovation and formula upgrades based on science and athlete feedback like PODIUM.
FUSE 2025 demonstrates that PODIUM is dedicated to continually improving all products as science evolves — expect 2026, 2027, and beyond!
Science advances rapidly, and so does PODIUM. PODIUM continues to recruit and support tested athletes as representatives of their brand, assuring consumers that they are using the same products as Olympians, CrossFit Games winners, and others.
Morning Chalk Up writer Julia Papworth tested the new FUSE 2025 and compared it to her trusted Legacy FUSE. With essential enhancements to improve your training experience, here are some differences between the two formulas.
Key Takeaways
- FUSE 2025 is more cost-effective at $34.99. Although there are slightly fewer servings in FUSE 2025 (25 servings), the lower price point translates to a more affordable cost per serving and offers significantly more value per scoop.
- The current flavors are Blue Razz Slushie and Sour Watermelon.
- It contains zero added sugar, just like the original formula.
Julia’s Experience With FUSE 2025
Ingredients and Formulation
There are differences in the formulation between Legacy FUSE and FUSE 2025. The new formulation includes some remarkable ingredients: Betaine Anhydrous, Cognizin, KSM-66® Ashwagandha Extract, and Theobromine, which are now part of FUSE 2025.
- The KSM 66 Ashwagandha Extract added to FUSE 2025 will help promote smoother and more sustained energy levels during your workouts. KSM-66® has been evaluated in 24 Gold Standard clinical trials, making it one of the most thoroughly researched ashwagandha extracts available. It has demonstrated benefits for stress reduction, endurance, and cognitive performance.
- The new formulation features 2500mg of Betaine Anhydrous to support strength and cellular hydration, along with Theobromine, which works in tandem with caffeine while helping to minimize the risk of energy crashes.
- FUSE 2025 also has double the amount of L-Tyrosine to help better support mental clarity.

Taste
I really liked both flavors: Blue Razz Slushie and Sour Watermelon. The Sour Watermelon flavor remains my favorite – strong yet not overpowering and never too sweet. There is no artificial aftertaste, and no sugar is added.
Solubility
Mixing the FUSE 2025 into my shaker is just as easy as with the original FUSE! It blends smoothly with just a few shakes and never becomes clumpy.
Effects
I felt the FUSE 2025 kick in nicely about 30 minutes after I drank it, and similar to the original, I began to feel the focus set in. The main difference between the formulas is that I experienced less of a jittery buzz with FUSE 2025 than with the original.
My energy steadily increased, and my focus felt sharper with FUSE 2025. Even when I trained in the evening, I experienced a gradual “coming down” effect that was much more appreciated compared to a sudden crash.
Two thumbs up for the new and improved FUSE 2025 by PODIUM!
