About

Who We Are: Stacked began with a simple belief: hydration should meet the demands of real training. Too many products stop short, focusing on either salt or sugar, without addressing the full needs of performance. We set out to create something different. We are a company built on integrity and science, committed to making strength accessible to anyone willing to show up and put in the work.

What We Stand For: We believe strength is built in the chaos, in the setbacks, and in the comebacks. It is not about chasing perfection. It is about stacking progress one choice at a time. Our brand stands for inclusion and grit. No gatekeepers. No shortcuts. Just support for real people doing real work. We are here to challenge expectations and to redefine what strength looks like and who gets to claim it.

What We Make: Our formulas go beyond basic hydration. We combine electrolytes with performance-driven ingredients like BCAAs and creatine to fuel training, recovery, and everyday resilience. Stacked is hydration designed to work as hard as the people who use it. We are not here to add to a crowded shelf. We are building a new standard for what fitness hydration should be.

Founding Story

Stacked Fitness Hydration was founded by Kris Wilkins and Gabe Nazario, two lifelong athletes who have experienced how fitness can change the way you live, think, and see yourself. Fitness builds more than muscle. It builds discipline, confidence, and the belief that you can take on whatever life throws your way.

That belief became a shared calling for Kris and Gabe to build something that could help others feel that same sense of strength and freedom that comes from putting in the work. Stacked Fitness Hydration was created to carry that mission forward and to show people what can happen when fitness becomes a way of life.

The brand exists to bridge the gap in fitness by motivating those just starting out and keeping those already in it pushing forward. Stacked inspires people to show up for themselves and to make wellness and movement a part of everyday life.

Kris and Gabe’s mission is deeply personal. With close ties to the Black, Hispanic, and LGBTQ+ communities, they are committed to creating a brand that feels authentic, inclusive, and empowering. Stacked is grounded in access, representation, and encouragement, inviting everyone to find strength on their own terms.

At its core, Stacked Fitness Hydration exists to remind people that strength is earned in the moments that test you the most. It is about consistency through chaos, progress over perfection, and the understanding that the effort you invest transforms not only how you train, but how you live.
