You wont be disappointed

Came recommended from a friend once I started running. I’m not cycling and swimming an have tried pretty much all the products. No upset tummy and they taste great. Highly recommend the recovery shakes and the raspberry electrolytes bars ! Perfect for anyone that hates the gels.
Would highly recommend to anyone serious about training

Fast Acting and energy boost when you need it most

I have been using VOOM for the past year for all my training and races and I have to say I love them, my favorite product being the pocket rocket electro energy and beta blast.

It’s fast acting and gives that much needed energy boost in little time. I ran and fuelled my best marathon and 50km pbs last year as a result. Can’t say enough good things about it

Delicious and effective

I've tried a lot of different nutrition approaches to fuel my running - since testing VOOM over the last year, it's become my staple for all distances and intensities, as well as fuelling gym sessions.

Highly rate their range Pocket Rocket bars, paired with their hydration solutions.

I have used voom for a few years. I just love it! The flavours, the boost it gives me during workouts, training and racing. Voom works! It's really that simple. The hand written note with my last order, a nice touch. Thanks

Tastes like toilet cleaner

I get that some people don't like gels, but if you're going to make an alternative product you should also concentrate on taste.

I took the Lemon and Lime bar out on Sunday and it tasted really harsh and chemically enhanced, like toilet cleaner.

Not a fan at all. Sorry.

Good idea, massive fail on taste.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your feedback and we're sorry to hear the product was not to your taste preference.

We regularly have customers praising the tastes of the bars so this must be down to a personal preference. We hope the bar still served as an effective energy source for you, even if the Lemon & Lime wasn't your favourite flavour.

Best wishes, Team VOOM

Sorry but too sweet and chemically for me

Sorry but too sweet for me, it has the consistency of Kendal mint cake but the taste of air freshener.

Hi Toby, we're sorry to hear the product you tried wasn't to your taste preference - may I ask which product this was? Our Pocket Rockets in particular are an alternative to energy gels, with twice the energy, and obviously have a high carb content so its difficult to get away from the sweet taste without artificial flavours. That being said, the Grapefruit flavour may be more to your liking with a slightly sharper taste!
Best wishes, Team VOOM

Half Marathon PB Pocket 🚀

Fuelled my PB half with the Pocket Rocket bar yesterday and it was brilliant. So handy to be able to snap off a square every 15 minutes to keep myself ticking over nicely m. Great taste and texture to tolerate during a tough run. Highly recommend

Great addition to my running pack

Great product. I like the flavour and texture. I hate the sticky mess of gels so voom are a good alternative. They pack a punch for their size and weight so welcomed in my race pack/vest. Definitely worth a try to see if it suits your tastes.

Great communication, fast delivery. Bars come in a lovely gift box with a personal message from the company. Bars are easy to break while out and about and easy on the mouth and tummy.

This is probably a little unfair as it is slightly personal opinion but I was not overly impressed.
Flavours are all really 'fake' and overpowering. The texture is also a little weird...like eating soap. They do not keep their shape/consistency when got warm too. Will stick to oat bars.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for feeding back and sharing your personal experiences. All the Pocket Rocket bars use natural flavour and freeze-dried fruit for flavour, so I'm surprised you found the flavour fake - its not something we hear very often. The text is due to the glucose base and part of the idea behind the method of delivery. The glucose base has a melt in the mouth texture to allow absorption of glucose through the gums, speeding up energy delivery.
Thanks again for sharing your feedback and best of luck with your future training and events.

Great products and excellent service

Great products and excellent service. I've been buying the energy bars and hydration drinks, all taste great and better than any energy bars I've had in the past from other manufacturers. Good to support a smaller UK business with a better ethos and nicer products than the 'big boys'!

Voom bars all melted in marathon 😪

I have previously used Voom bars, with Lime being my favourite. So much so that I planned to use 4 Lime vooms on the Amsterdam Marathon last Sunday. Unfortunately, they all went from solid to liquid within 40 minutes of starting the race. Had to fuel with the energy drinks offered on the course and jelly babies. So disappointed....as previously and whilst training,they were ideal.

I am very happy to say that this was promptly rectified as stated below and the new bars are as good as I remember. No hard feeling....I will be back to buy more. Thanks for your excellent customer service

Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to feedback to us and we're very sorry to hear you've faced an issue with the Pocket Rocket bars going too soft.
If you are able to email customer service (info@voomnutrition.co.uk) we'd love to hear from you so we can get some replacement bars to you of the normal consistency.
We look forward to hearing from you, Team VOOM

These products are fantastic

These products are fantastic. As someone who usually specialises in sprints but also runs 10k/Half Marathons, these will work across the board for me. I used them at a HM last weekend and then on my speedier track and reps sessions this week.Tasty and do the job. A game changer.

I am building up to doing 70 miles on a spin bike on my 70th birthday and found that after an hour just having fluid didn't seem to do much. Seeing VOOM advertised I thought I would give it a try. First time of using managed three and half hours no problem and could have gone longer. They do what they say:- before / during and boost. I love the emails you send with helpful information.
