Pre workout formulas/supplements

Hi there, I'm noticing more and more people are taking pre workout formulas before exercising, can anyone tell me if they are worth using or would I be just as well having a coffee and a banana? I really don't know about sports nutrition so what would be a good brand to try?
I'm in the UK.

I only ever try to help my work out when lifting ... you'll usually see me sat in the gym car park downing a can of red bull or some High caffeine drink! So I would also be interested to see what others say

It entirely depends upon what works for you. I have pre-workout formula (from PHD, got it for free) that I sometimes use, but majority of the time I find that a nice strong coffee does the trick, especially if I exercise in the morning.

I use to use a pre workout all the time, but now days I don't bother. I do fine without it plus it saves me money. If I need a pick up I'll just add some coffee to my pre workout shake. I use to like C4 by Cellucor when I did use one.0

A cup of coffee and a peanut butter sandwich works fine for me. Save your money and use it for something else besides pre-workout supplements.0

I took C4 for a while, but now am trying SuperHD, only on day 2, not sure whether it is a pre workout, but it def gives you energy!0
