RPM vs BeetMode: How to Choose an EVL Pre-Workout
By Evlution Nutrition – EVLUTION NUTRITION | Published: 2026-10-16
Category: Comparisons
RPM Pre-Workout, BeetMode, and Glitch Crew serve three different jobs. Compare stimulant energy, nitric oxide pump, and gear so you pick the right one.
Quick Answer
Choose RPM Pre-Workout if you want stimulant-driven energy and focus for a hard session, and choose BeetMode if you want a stimulant-free nitric oxide approach to support blood flow and endurance. Glitch Crew is not a supplement at all; it is an EVL GEAR t-shirt, so it belongs in the same order only as apparel. Match the product to the job, not to the label.
The Three Products Are Not Interchangeable
RPM Pre-Workout is a high-intensity pre-workout formulated for explosive energy, enhanced mental focus, amplified endurance, and stronger performance. Its directions call for 1 scoop with 8 oz of cold water 15-30 minutes before training, and it should not be taken within 4 hours of sleep to avoid sleeplessness. BeetMode is a beetroot-based nitric oxide product designed to support improved blood flow, endurance, and performance; it can be mixed 1 scoop with 6-8 oz of water 30-60 minutes before exercise or post-workout, and on non-training days it can be used anytime to support energy level. Glitch Crew is a 60% cotton / 40% polyester athletic-fit t-shirt printed on a Next Level brand shirt, sized S through XXL with listed body length and chest measurements.
That means a true EVL pre-workout comparison comes down to RPM versus BeetMode. Glitch Crew is gear, so buying it will not change your energy, focus, or pump; it only changes what you wear while training. Treating all three as one category is the most common mistake shoppers make.
Pump vs Stim: What Each Approach Actually Does
RPM Pre-Workout is the stimulant side of the shelf. Its stated benefits are energy, focus, endurance, and performance, which makes it a fit for early sessions, heavy lifting days, or any workout where you want a mental push. The trade-off is timing: because it should not be taken within 4 hours of sleep, late-evening lifters either move their session earlier or skip it. RPM also comes in flavor options, so you can pick a taste you will actually drink consistently.
BeetMode is the non-stimulant side. It delivers a natural nitric oxide boost from beetroot to support improved blood flow, endurance, and performance for harder, longer workouts. Because the mechanism is blood flow rather than stimulant energy, it does not carry the same sleep-timing warning and can be used 30-60 minutes before exercise or post-workout. The trade-off is that it is not built to deliver the explosive energy and focus RPM describes, so if you rely on a stimulant kick to start training, BeetMode alone may feel flat.
How to Stack or Separate Them
If you want both energy and pump support, the cleanest approach is to use RPM Pre-Workout 15-30 minutes before training and BeetMode 30-60 minutes before training. That timing overlaps, so you can take them in the same window without doubling up on stimulants, since BeetMode is not a stimulant product. Keep RPM away from sleep: if your session ends late, drop RPM and use BeetMode instead, or train earlier.
Do not assume more is better. Each product has its own directions, and neither label suggests combining them beyond the listed serving. If you are new to pre-workouts, start with one product at a time so you can tell which one is doing what. A beginner who mainly wants to feel ready to train should start with RPM; a beginner who trains in the evening or wants to avoid stimulants should start with BeetMode.
Where Creatine Fits in the Decision
Creatine5000 (Powder) is a recovery and performance product, not a pre-workout, so it does not compete with RPM or BeetMode. It provides 5 grams of pure micronized creatine monohydrate per serving to help muscle cells produce more energy, and it is described as the most researched form and the #1 supplement for improving performance in the gym. Because it is not a stimulant and not a pump product, it can sit alongside either choice without changing your pre-workout timing.

The practical takeaway: pick RPM or BeetMode for the pre-training job, and treat Creatine5000 as a separate daily performance habit. If you are already using creatine, your pre-workout decision is still just RPM versus BeetMode.
Trade-Offs to Weigh Before You Buy
- RPM Pre-Workout: energy vs sleep timing: RPM describes explosive energy, focus, endurance, and performance, taken 15-30 minutes before training. The trade-off is that it should not be taken within 4 hours of sleep. Pick RPM if your sessions are early enough to respect the 4-hour rule.
- BeetMode: pump support vs stimulant kick: BeetMode supports blood flow, endurance, and performance via beetroot nitric oxide, taken 30-60 minutes before exercise or post-workout. It does not claim the explosive energy and focus RPM does. Pick BeetMode if you want stimulant-free pump support or train in the evening.
- Glitch Crew: gear vs supplement: Glitch Crew is a cotton-poly athletic-fit t-shirt with listed measurements, not a pre-workout. It will not affect energy, focus, or pump. Add it as apparel only; do not count it as part of your pre-workout stack.
Product Facts at a Glance
- RPM Pre-Workout: RPM Pre-Workout is a high-intensity pre-workout designed to deliver explosive energy, enhanced mental focus, amplified endurance, and stronger performance. Directions: 1 scoop with 8 oz cold water 15-30 minutes before training; do not take within 4 hours of sleep. Best when you want stimulant energy and focus, but the 4-hour sleep rule makes it a poor fit for late-night training.
- BeetMode: BeetMode delivers a natural nitric oxide boost from beetroot to support improved blood flow, endurance, and performance. Directions: mix 1 scoop with 6-8 oz water 30-60 minutes before exercise or post-workout; on non-training days use anytime to support energy level. A stimulant-free option for evening sessions or pump-focused training, but it does not replace the energy and focus RPM describes.
- EVL Glitch Crew: EVL Glitch Crew is a 60% cotton / 40% polyester athletic-fit t-shirt printed on a Next Level brand shirt, available in sizes S-XXL with listed body length and chest measurements. It is apparel, not a supplement, so it should not be compared on energy or pump; buy it for fit and daily wear.
Which One Fits You?
Best for
- RPM Pre-Workout: early or daytime lifters who want stimulant energy and focus, and who can train at least 4 hours before sleep
- BeetMode: evening trainers, stimulant-sensitive users, or anyone who wants nitric oxide and blood flow support before or after training
- Creatine5000 (Powder): daily performance and recovery support alongside either pre-workout choice
Not for
- RPM Pre-Workout: late-night lifters or anyone who cannot avoid taking it within 4 hours of sleep
- BeetMode: people who specifically want the explosive energy and focus of a stimulant pre-workout
- Glitch Crew: anyone shopping for a supplement; it is a t-shirt, not a pre-workout
