Collection: Bottles & Shakers

When you are working out, you need to pay attention to your hydration levels; constantly drinking water or any other hydrating drink is essential, because exercise will make you sweat and that will lead to dehydration of sorts. In order to replenish those fluids, you need to drink water in between your sessions. Whether you are looking to gain muscle or lose weight, you will also need to add some form of supplementary drinks, such as protein shakes or health drinks and in order to carry all of these around with ease, you will need the right equipment. 

Welcome to the world of water bottles and shakers for gym, which not only allow you to carry around water and other drinks. Simply put, a shaker is a tumbler with a lid or a bottle, which allows you to make protein shakes or other similar drinks, with absolute ease. When you are carrying items such as protein drinks, it might not be possible to carry everything; so, you can simply add protein powder in the bottle and when you need it, you can simply add water and shake well to get your drink ready. 

At SportsBunker, you can shop from a wide range of bottles and shakers, in terms of materials, colours and sizes.

The many types of gym shakers and bottles

For most people, water bottles and shakers are the same – they are simply means to carry water or any other liquid from one place to another. However, if you explore the collection that we offer at SportsBunker, you will see that this is actually a really wide world.

• Sports bottles – These are normally designed for athletes and those who workout regularly, and like to drink sports drinks or electrolyte mixes. These tend to be lightweight and many have squeezable bodies and pull-up spouts. 
• Shaker bottles – If you are looking for gym shakers, then you are looking for something that will allow you to mix protein shakes, pre-workout, or other nutritional supplements. These will normally have a secure lid and some form of built-in mixing mechanism to ensure that the powders get blending easily. You will also be able to find bottles that have measurement lines for accuracy. 
• Infuser bottles – These are bottles are meant for infusing water with fruits, herbs, or other flavourings and will have a removable infuser basket, in which you can place the fruits or herbs. 
• Insulated bottles – If you are someone who like to carry really cold or hot beverages to gym or during workouts, then you will need an insulated bottle. These will have a double-walled construction with vacuum insulation to maintain temperature and come in various sizes. 
• Smart bottles – These are the latest innovation in the world of bottles, which have some form of technology that will track your hydration levels, temperature of the liquid stored and even remind you to drink up!
