Women's gym shorts that actually keep up with your training — that's what this collection is built around. From seamless styles with 4-way stretch to woven shorts with a relaxed fit, there's a cut and fabric for every session, every preference, every goal.

Who This Collection Is For

These women's exercise shorts are designed for anyone who trains regularly and wants kit that performs without compromise. If you've ever had shorts that ride up mid-squat, dig in during a run, or lose their shape after a few washes, this collection is the answer.

Whether you're lifting, running, doing HIIT, or heading to a yoga class, there's a short here built for the way you move. It's a collection designed for women who take their training seriously and want their kit to reflect that.

When to Wear Women's Gym Shorts

Women's workout shorts work hardest in the weight room, on the track, or in any class that demands full range of motion. The seamless styles are a go-to for lower body training days where you need fabric that moves with you rather than against you.

Beyond the gym, women's sweat shorts and woven styles transition easily from a warm-up to a cool-down walk, or even casual wear. When the fit is right and the fabric feels good, there's no reason to stop at the gym door.

Key Features

4-Way Stretch Fabric

The seamless styles use a 4-way stretch construction that moves in every direction without pulling or restricting. Squats, lunges, lateral moves — nothing feels held back.

Soft-Touch Finish

The fabric is designed to sit comfortably against the skin throughout the full session. No rough seams, no irritation — just a smooth feel that keeps distractions to a minimum.

Multiple Silhouettes

From seamless shorts and training pocket shorts to 2-in-1 floaty styles and sweatshorts, the range covers every preference. Different lengths, cuts, and constructions mean you can match the style to the session.

Extensive Colour Range

With colourways spanning Midnight, Rich Teal, Washed Lime, Lemon, Baby Pink, and more, there's plenty of room to build a kit collection that works as hard on aesthetics as it does on performance.

FAQs

What are women's gym shorts made from?

It depends on the style. The seamless shorts use a soft-touch stretch fabric designed for close-to-skin comfort and freedom of movement. Woven styles like the Tempo Contrast and Training Pocket Shorts use a lighter, more structured fabric suited to cardio and general training. Check the individual product pages for exact fabric compositions.

How do women's gym shorts fit — should I size up or down?

As a general rule, the seamless styles follow standard sizing closely, so your usual size is a safe starting point. If you're between sizes and prefer a more relaxed fit, sizing up gives a bit more room. The Basics Sweatshorts run slightly more relaxed by design, so they tend to suit your true size or a size down if you prefer a neater fit.

What gym shorts for women are best for leg day?

For lower body training, the Hybrid Seamless Shorts are a strong choice. The soft-touch fabric reduces friction during high-rep movements, and the 4-way stretch means the fabric follows your range of motion rather than limiting it. They're built for exactly the kind of dynamic movement leg day demands.

Can I wear these shorts for activities other than the gym?

Absolutely. The woven shorts and sweatshort styles work well beyond the gym — running errands, heading to a class, or just lounging in kit that still looks the part. The Tempo Contrast and Basics Sweatshorts especially lend themselves to casual wear without losing any of the functional design.

How should I care for women's training shorts to keep them in good condition?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle and avoid tumble drying where possible — especially for the seamless styles. Line drying helps the fabric hold its shape and colour for longer. Always check the care label on each individual product for specific guidance.

Are there women's gym shorts with pockets?

Yes — the Training Pocket Shorts are built specifically with storage in mind, available in Hero Red, Black, and Ice. The 2-in-1 Floaty Shorts also offer practical design details for women who want function alongside movement. Check individual product pages for pocket placement and size.

Who designs the women's gym shorts at Myprotein?

All the shorts in this collection are designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. Every style is developed with training in mind — from the fabric selection and cut through to the colourways and construction.

What lengths are available in women's exercise shorts?

The collection includes a range of lengths to suit different preferences and training styles. Seamless and training shorts typically sit at mid-thigh, while the floaty and sweatshort styles offer a slightly longer, more relaxed hem. Individual product pages show exact measurements to help you find the right fit.
