Who This Collection Is For
If you spend time in the gym, on the mat, or in any kind of training environment, this collection was made with you in mind. Women's 7/8 gym leggings suit everyone from beginners finding their rhythm to seasoned athletes who know exactly what they need from their kit.
Whether you train for strength, flexibility, cardio, or a mix of all three, there's a pair here that fits your style of movement. The 7/8 length works particularly well if you like a streamlined look that stays out of the way during footwork-heavy workouts.
When to Wear 7/8 Gym Leggings
The 7/8 cut is one of the most versatile lengths you can own. It's a natural fit for weightlifting, HIIT, cycling, Pilates, and gym-floor training — anywhere you want full leg mobility without the fabric bunching at the ankle.
They work just as well outside the gym too. Pair them with a hoodie for the commute to your session, or keep the look going post-workout. The 7/8 length sits just above the ankle, making it easy to style with any trainer or shoe.
Key Features
Sweat-Wicking Fabric
Designed to pull moisture away from your skin during intense sessions, the sweat-wicking fabric keeps you feeling fresh even when you're working hard. No clinging, no discomfort — just focus on the workout.
Seamless Construction
Seamless leggings move with your body rather than against it. The knitted construction removes the bulk of traditional seams, so there's nothing to dig in or chafe during high-rep or high-movement training.
Secure Storage
Waistband and side-leg pockets mean you can keep your phone, card, or keys close without breaking your stride. No bouncing, no fussing — just easy access when you need it.
7/8 Length Cut
Hitting just above the ankle, the 7/8 length keeps things streamlined through the leg while giving you a clean look with any trainer. It's a practical cut that works across a wide range of training styles and body types.

FAQs
What does 7/8 length mean for leggings?
7/8 leggings sit roughly mid-calf to just above the ankle — longer than a cropped pair, but shorter than full-length. The exact position depends on your height, but the general idea is a cut that ends before the ankle bone. It's a popular length for gym training because it keeps the lower leg free while still offering good coverage through the thigh and knee.
Are 7/8 gym leggings suitable for all types of training?
Yes — the 7/8 cut is one of the most adaptable lengths for training. It works well for weightlifting, HIIT, Pilates, yoga, cycling, and general gym sessions. The slightly shorter length is particularly handy during footwork-heavy workouts, where full-length fabric might bunch at the ankle.
How do I find the right size in women's 7/8 leggings?
Check the size guide on the product page before you buy — it uses measurements like waist and hip circumference to help you find the best fit. Myprotein leggings are designed to feel secure and close-fitting without being restrictive, so if you're between sizes, consider how you prefer your fit: snug for high-intensity training, or slightly more relaxed for lower-impact sessions like yoga or Pilates.
Which 7/8 leggings would you recommend?
If storage matters to you, the MP Women's Power 7/8 Leggings are worth a look — they come with a waistband pocket and a side-leg pocket, so you can keep your essentials close without breaking your flow. For a sleek, streamlined feel during intense training, the MP Women's Shape Seamless 7/8 Leggings deliver with sweat-wicking technology and a high-quality seamless finish that moves naturally with your body.
Who designs the women's 7/8 leggings?
The collection is designed by Myprotein's in-house design team, who focus on creating gym kit that performs as well as it looks. Every detail — from the fabric choice to the cut and construction — is considered with real training in mind.
How should I care for my gym leggings to keep them in good shape?
Machine wash on a cool setting (30°C or lower) and avoid tumble drying — heat can break down stretchy fibres over time and affect how the fabric performs. Turn them inside out before washing to help preserve the colour and surface texture. Skip the fabric softener too, as it can reduce the effectiveness of moisture-wicking properties.
Can I wear 7/8 leggings outside the gym?
Absolutely. The 7/8 length pairs well with chunky trainers, ankle boots, or any shoe you want to show off. Throw on an oversized tee or zip-up hoodie and they work just as well for a coffee run or a casual day out as they do for a training session.
What fabrics are used in Myprotein's women's 7/8 gym leggings?
The range uses a mix of performance fabrics depending on the style — including seamless knitted constructions and woven materials designed to stretch, wick sweat, and hold their shape through repeated wear and washing. Check the individual product page for the specific fabric breakdown and composition for each pair.
