FAQs

How do I find the right size?

Check the size guide on each product page, which includes measurements for bust, waist, and hips. Most of these tops run true to size, but if you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up. Body-fit styles are designed to sit close to the skin, whilst relaxed vests offer more room.

How should I care for these gym tops?

Wash inside out on a cool cycle to protect the fabric's stretch and colour. Avoid fabric softener, which can affect moisture-wicking properties, and skip the tumble dryer to maintain shape and elasticity. Air drying keeps these tops performing their best for longer.

Are these tops suitable for high-intensity workouts?

Absolutely. The moisture-wicking fabrics handle sweat effectively, and the stretch construction allows full range of motion during explosive movements. Styles with mesh panels or relaxed cuts provide additional airflow for particularly intense sessions.

Can I wear these tops for activities beyond the gym?

Definitely. Black gym tops are brilliant for outdoor runs, yoga classes, cycling, or even casual wear. Their neutral colour and clean design mean they fit seamlessly into active lifestyles beyond structured workouts.

Will these tops stay in place during movement?

Yes. Body-fit styles use stretch fabrics that move with you without riding up, whilst vests are cut to stay put during overhead movements and dynamic exercises. The designs account for real workout demands, not just static poses.

Who designs these products?

Myprotein's in-house design team creates all these pieces, drawing on feedback from athletes and everyday gym-goers to develop functional, comfortable activewear that meets real training needs.

Do the maternity tops work throughout pregnancy?

The seamless maternity styles are designed to stretch and adapt as your body changes, providing comfortable coverage from early pregnancy through to postpartum. The flexible fabric accommodates growth whilst maintaining support.

How durable are these tops with regular use?

These pieces are built for frequent wear and washing. The fabrics resist pilling and fading, whilst the construction maintains shape even after repeated laundering. They're designed to be wardrobe staples, not seasonal purchases.
