The Creation of Midknight Labs
It Started With an Idea
We believed the fitness world deserved better, It needed products built on actual results and quantitative data.
So we set out on a journey to redefine what truly effective fitness supplements can be.

The Quest for the Perfect Pre-Workout
We dissected what makes a pre-workout genuinely great, combining research, real feedback, and performance data to identify every essential trait it needed to deliver REAL results.
(Image above is the first beta ‘Pump Tech’ logo and our first label mock up design for the finished product.)
Our One Year Plan
Our path was clear: study and formulate, test samples in real gyms, gather unfiltered user feedback, and refine until our product met the highest standard - ours.

By Athletes, for Athletes
We don’t just study fitness; we live it, train it, and compete in it. Midknight Labs was built by athletes who understand what real performance demands.

Forging Midknight Labs
With the formula locked and a vision in sight, Midknight Labs was born as a brand rooted in scientific precision, transparency, and professionalism.

Launch Was Only the Beginning
After a year of trials and relentless refinement, we’ve officially brought our first creation to life. Pump Tech was made with the intention to surpass all expectations of what a pre-workout can be.
