Bare Performance Nutrition (BPN)

Bare Performance Nutrition, usually shortened to BPN, is a Texas-based sports-nutrition brand founded in 2012 by former US Army Infantry Officer Nick Bare. The catalog centers on Go One (pre-workout), Flight (caffeinated daily pre-workout), In-Kaged, Strong Greens, Whey Protein, Plant Protein, Electrolytes, Endure endurance fuel, Recovery, Creatine, and a growing lifestyle line (hoodies, tees, training gear). All products are third-party tested under the Informed Sport program for banned substances, which is a real differentiator versus the crowded generic-supplement market. BPN ships direct from its bareperformancenutrition.com storefront and also sells through Amazon. Typical order sizes sit in the USD 40-100 range, with subscription discounts via the Go One monthly membership.

The brand audience is the Nick Bare YouTube and Instagram following: hybrid athletes, runners, lifters, endurance competitors, and military/first-responder communities. BPN leans hard on creator and athlete ambassadors, sponsors events like the Hybrid Athlete World Championships, and runs the "Go One More" content series tied to Nick Bare's personal training content. Affiliate content that converts well includes product reviews of Flight and Go One, hybrid-training guides, and comparison posts against brands like Legion, Bucked Up, and Transparent Labs. Because BPN's AOV is higher than most retail supplement stores and the audience is primed by Nick's content, the effective EPC on Awin runs higher than the 10% flat rate suggests when creators lean into the brand's training-identity angle.

BPN's affiliate program is managed through Awin (merchant profile ID 98147). Publishers apply to Awin as a publisher first (awin.com/gb/publisher), then request to join the BPN program from within the Awin dashboard. Approval is at BPN's discretion and typically favors content creators with a fitness, hybrid-training, running, or endurance audience; generic coupon or cashback sites are usually not admitted. Approved publishers get tracked deeplinks, creative assets, and access to Awin's standard reporting and product-feed integrations.

The payout is 10% of referred sales with last-click attribution (last affiliate cookie gets credit) and a 30-day cookie window. Partners must refer at least USD 100 in sales before BPN releases their first commission payment, per the BPN affiliate FAQ. After that first-payout gate, payments flow on Awin's standard monthly cycle (1st and 15th) via BACS/ACH, international wire, or the Awin Mastercard, subject to Awin's USD 20 minimum payout threshold. BPN's ambassador/creator program is a separate track with discount codes and gifted product; that runs alongside the Awin program and is not the same as the commission-paying affiliate feed. Self-purchases, refunded orders, and stacking BPN's own promo codes on top of an affiliate link can void commissions.
