What’s the main thing Myprotein and Black Friday have in common? They’re both synonymous with serious savings. And when the two collide for the Myprotein Black Friday sale, you’re bound to see some great deals on supplements, training equipment and activewear.
Now, while Black Friday may not be upon us just yet, Myprotein has already started ramping up its price cuts with some sizable discounts on some of its most popular products. And I’m uniquely qualified to guide you through these deals.
Why? Because I’ve been using Myprotein for years to help build muscle on a budget, using the site to stock up on protein powders and other daily essentials, as well as workout clothes and gym paraphernalia like lifting straps. During this time, I’ve learned to spot the difference between a genuinely good deal and a run-of-the-mill discount.
This year, I’m here to provide all the insight you need to raid the Myprotein Black Friday sale successfully. I’ll also highlight some of the most significant savings on products I’ve used and approved, to help you smash your squat PB (or whatever your current fitness goal might be) without breaking the bank.
When is the Myprotein Black Friday sale?
Black Friday falls on the first Friday after Thanksgiving in the US. In 2024, this means it lands on Friday 29 November, and the event lasts for four days before wrapping up on Cyber Monday (2 December). However, many retailers have realised there are no hard and fast rules around restricting their discounts to this four-day window, As a result, some (Myprotein included) will also offer early discounts in the month or so leading up to Black Friday. Myprotein is then likely to introduce a few limited-time deals over the Black Friday weekend, with some standout savings to be made.
What is Black Friday?
Black Friday is one of the busiest shopping days of the year, and for some, it signifies the start of the Christmas shopping season. It started in the US, but has since spread to other parts of the globe, including the UK.
It’s no longer a one-day event either: we now have the Black Friday weekend, with the four-day shopping frenzy culminating on Cyber Monday, where shoppers are encouraged to head online to find the best deals. Other retailers have extended the sales event to last even longer, with some running offers throughout the month of November and beyond.

The best early Myprotein Black Friday deals
Black Friday weekend is drawing ever-closer. But for anyone interested in stocking up on supplements before then, I’ve whipped up a list of the best Myprotein deals already available right now.
Myprotein impact whey protein 1kg: Was £41.99, now £23.99, Myprotein.com
I’ve been using Myprotein’s impact whey for years. It’s cheap and tasty with plenty of flavour options (37, at last count), and I’ve never had any problems digesting it, which can’t be said for all protein powders I’ve tried. It also contains roughly 23g of protein per serving, with this figure varying slightly depending on the flavour you choose. And, with a 33-serving pouch now costing a little over 20 quid, it’s great value too.
Myprotein essential whey protein 1.3kg: Was £34.99, now £17.59, Myprotein.com
Myprotein’s essential whey is a newcomer to its supplement range, introduced with the modus operandi of making protein supplements more affordable for the masses. It sticks to the Neapolitan ice cream flavour options of chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and unflavoured, and has a slightly lower protein total than the impact whey (18g per scoop). But each pouch contains an impressive 52 servings, setting you up for almost two months of daily shakes for less than £18 with the current discount.
Myprotein impact vegan protein 1kg: Was £30.99, now £18.05, Myprotein.com
If you’re after a plant-based way to hit your daily protein goal, look no further than the Myvegan impact vegan protein powder. It provides 124 calories and an impressive 24g of protein per serving via a blend of pea and fava bean proteins, delivering a complete amino acid profile. And it’s now down to almost half price thanks to a chunky discount.
Myprotein impact creatine 500g: Was £29.99, now £17.74, Myprotein.com
Creatine is a non-negotiable for me. I use it daily to support my performance, helping me make consistent strength and fitness gains. Myprotein’s flavoured creatine is a personal favourite, providing a refreshing post-workout drink, and it’s now offered with a decent discount. The 500g bag works out slightly cheaper per scoop than smaller pouches, and contains 166 servings so you won’t have to replace it in a hurry.
Myprotein clear whey protein powder: Was £36.99, now £23.63, Myprotein.com
If thick, creamy shakes aren’t your bag, clear whey is the way to go. I’ve found it’s particularly appealing in the summer, when a milky drink is the last thing you want after a hot and sweaty training session. You can currently save £13 on a 20-serving tub, although judging by what I’ve seen in previous years (including a penny sale on this very product), I’d be tempted to wait and see what further Black Friday discounts lie in store.
Myprotein impact whey gainer 2.5kg: Was £54.99, now £32.53, Myprotein.com
This gainer shake hit the sweet spot for me when I raised my training volume recently. It provided the extra carbs (52g), calories (412) and protein (29g) I needed to support my increased activity levels, without going overboard – some mass gainers contain upwards of 1,000 calories per serving, which was more than I was after. With 100g serving sizes, I’ve found the 1kg pouch runs out too quickly to be practical, but the 2.5kg bag usually serves me well, especially when it’s on sale.
Myprotein get stronger bundle: Was £53.98, now £31.68, Myprotein.com
If you can’t be bothered to curate a monthly supplement stack, this bundle does it for you, and serves up a tasty £20 saving in the process. The whey and creatine pouches each contain 33 servings, and you’ll also snag access to Myprotein’s online “get stronger guide” alongside a fresh shaker (because let’s be honest, your existing one could probably do with replacing).
Myvitamins vitamin B12: Was £5.99, now £3.36, Myprotein.com
An essential nutrient, Vitamin B12 helps the body release energy from food. It can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, but those following a vegetarian or plant-based diet may struggle to consume adequate levels (2.4 mcg per day is a general recommendation for adults), potentially leading to fatigue. This vitamin can help make up the deficit, and it now has almost 50 per cent off.
Myvitamins vegan Omega-3, 30 softgels: Was £10.99, now £5.60, Myprotein.com
Omega-3 fatty acids support brain health and play a role in the function of all organ systems in the body, health expert Professor Peter Calder told The Independent in our guide to the best omega 3 supplements. They’re commonly found in fish, with fish oil providing the contents for most Omega-3 capsules, but this Myvitamins option uses algae oil instead to offer a vegan-friendly alternative. It’s currently better than half-price too, so you can buy 30 softgels for a fiver.
Myprotein sleep capsules: Was £19.99, now £17.15, Myprotein.com
This new Myprotein product is a recent addition to my routine after a colleague suggested a pre-sleep magnesium supplement. What’s followed has been a series of unbroken slumbers, helping me feel that little bit more awake during my morning workouts. As a new product, you’d expect this tub of 30 servings to stay at full price for a while, but Myprotein has knocked a few bob off as we approach Black Friday.
Myprotein unisex training knee sleeve: Was £24, now £14.99, Myprotein.com
As a CrossFit fan, I’m used to seeing people drop £50-plus on a premium pair of knee sleeves. But if you just want to test the water and see if these training tools work for you, this 5mm Myprotein offering is a great place to start, especially now they’re down to £14.99 for a pair. There are fewer sizing options than pricier brands, but their 5mm thickness is versatile enough to see you through heavy lifting sessions and high-impact workouts.
Mypro figure of eight lifting straps: Was £12, now £8.99, Myprotein.com
A strong addition to any gym bag, lifting straps take your grip out of the equation during exercises where you’re holding heavy weights, such as the deadlift and bent-over row. This way you can lift more weight for longer, without tired forearms forcing you to drop the barbell before the muscles in your legs and back have hit their limit. If you’re in the market for your first pair, these figure of eight lifting straps from Myprotein are robust, easy to use and less than a tenner – can’t say fairer than that.
Myprotein men’s tempo joggers: Was £42, now £23.99, Myprotein.com
I purchased a previous iteration of these joggers in 2019, and they’ve been a staple in my gym lineup ever since. The material is stretchy enough to allow me to squat and snatch without feeling restricted, and I enjoyed the slim-not-skinny fit too. Only now, after years of consistent use, am I having to look for a replacement. These Myprotein tempo joggers, down from £40 to £27.99, are at the top of my wishlist.
