MP Originals is the collection built for the gym floor and everything that comes after it. Designed in-house by the Myprotein team, these are the pieces that sit at the intersection of clean aesthetics and real-world performance — training staples that actually hold up to the work.
From the Performance Short Sleeve T-Shirt to the Performance 1/4 Zip, MP Originals keeps things purposeful. No unnecessary details, no overcomplicated construction — just well-made activewear that looks sharp and moves with you.
Who This Collection Is For
MP Originals is for anyone who takes their training seriously but doesn't want their gym kit to look like an afterthought. Whether you're lifting, conditioning, or just putting in the reps consistently, this collection is built around what you actually need from your gear.
It also works well for those who want versatility without sacrificing style. The kind of person who heads straight from a training session to wherever the day takes them next — and wants to look intentional the whole way through.
When to Wear These Pieces
MP Originals is a natural fit for the weight room, the track, or any high-output training session. The stretch fabrication and raglan sleeve construction on the Performance T-Shirts give you the range of motion you need during dynamic movements without the fabric pulling or riding up.
The Performance 1/4 Zip earns its place as a warm-up layer or a standalone mid-session piece on cooler days. Throw it on between sets or keep it on during lower-intensity work — it transitions between effort levels without any fuss.
Key Features
Soft-Touch Stretch Fabric
The Performance T-Shirts are made from a soft-touch stretch material that feels comfortable against the skin throughout a full session. It flexes with your movements rather than fighting them, which makes a noticeable difference during anything overhead or compound.
Raglan Sleeve Construction
Raglan sleeves run diagonally from the collar to the underarm, removing the shoulder seam from the equation entirely. The result is a cleaner fit with more natural arm movement — particularly useful when pressing, pulling, or working through a full range of motion.
Marl Colourways
MP Originals comes in a range of marl finishes — Army Green, Black, Chrome, and Charcoal — that keep the aesthetic considered without going loud. These are tones that layer well and hold their look wash after wash.
Versatile Layering Options
The 1/4 Zip gives the collection a layering option that works just as well over a base layer before a session as it does thrown on post-workout. The zip-through neck lets you adjust quickly depending on the intensity of what you're doing.

FAQs
Who designed the MP Originals collection?
MP Originals is designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. Every piece is developed to meet the demands of real training environments, with a focus on fit, function, and clean construction.
How do the MP Originals Performance T-Shirts fit?
The Performance T-Shirts are cut for an athletic fit — close enough to move with you without feeling restrictive. The raglan sleeve design and stretch fabric add to the overall ease of movement. If you're between sizes, sizing up will give you a more relaxed feel.
What workouts are MP Originals pieces best suited to?
The collection works across a wide range of training styles — weight training, functional fitness, circuits, and general gym sessions all sit well within what these pieces are designed for. The stretch fabric handles dynamic movement without losing shape, and the 1/4 Zip layers well for warm-up or cool-down phases of any session.
What is the MP Originals Performance T-Shirt made from?
The Performance T-Shirts use a soft-touch stretch fabric that prioritises comfort and mobility. The exact fibre composition is listed on the individual product pages, where you'll also find care label information.
How should I care for MP Originals activewear?
Machine wash at a low temperature, inside out, and avoid tumble drying where possible. This keeps the stretch fabric in better shape for longer and helps the marl colourways stay looking sharp over time.
Can I wear MP Originals pieces outside the gym?
Absolutely. The clean marl colourways and considered construction mean these pieces don't look out of place beyond the gym floor. The Performance T-Shirts in particular work well for casual wear, and the 1/4 Zip is an easy layer for everyday use.
What sizes does the MP Originals range come in?
MP Originals is available across a range of sizes to accommodate different body types. Use the size guide on each product page for the most accurate guidance — it accounts for chest, waist, and length measurements so you can get the right fit first time.
Which piece should I start with if I'm new to the collection?
The MP Men's Performance Short Sleeve T-Shirt in Black Marl is a solid starting point. The soft-touch stretch fabric and raglan sleeve design make it a genuinely functional training top, and the Black Marl colourway is as versatile as it gets — it works with just about everything else in your kit.
