FAQs
How do gym leggings fit?
Myprotein gym leggings are designed with a compression fit that feels secure without restricting movement. The high-waisted styles sit comfortably at your natural waist and stay in place during workouts. If you're between sizes, consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit or sticking with your usual size for maximum compression. The stretchy fabrics adapt to your body whilst maintaining their shape session after session.
What are gym leggings made from?
These gym tights are crafted from high-performance synthetic fabrics, typically blending polyester, nylon, and elastane. This combination creates moisture-wicking, quick-drying leggings that stretch in four directions for complete freedom of movement. The seamless styles use advanced knitting techniques to eliminate traditional seams, whilst compression fabrics provide a locked-in feel that lasts throughout intense training.
How should I care for my gym leggings?
Wash your gym leggings in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the fabric's stretch and moisture-wicking properties. Avoid fabric softener, as it can reduce the material's technical performance. Air drying is best, but if you need to use a dryer, choose a low heat setting. Washing them inside out helps protect any scrunch details and maintains the colour vibrancy over time.
What's the difference between seamless and regular gym leggings?
Seamless gym leggings are knitted in one continuous piece, eliminating traditional seams that can cause irritation during movement. This creates a smooth, second-skin feel that's particularly comfortable during floor exercises, stretching, and high-rep training. Regular leggings use traditional construction with sewn seams, which can be more structured but may have visible seam lines. Both styles offer excellent performance, so choose based on your preference for feel and aesthetic.
Can I wear gym leggings for running?
Absolutely. Gym leggings work brilliantly for running thanks to their compression fit, moisture-wicking fabrics, and stay-put waistbands. The stretchy construction allows for full stride length, whilst the close fit prevents chafing during longer distances. For colder runs, look for the ultra styles with enhanced coverage, or layer them under shorts for added versatility.
Who designs Myprotein's gym leggings?
All Myprotein gym leggings are designed by our in-house design team, who combine technical performance requirements with current trends. The team focuses on creating versatile pieces that work across different training styles, from weightlifting to yoga, whilst maintaining the quality and comfort you need for consistent training.
Are these gym leggings squat-proof?
Yes, Myprotein's gym leggings are designed with squat-proof fabrics that maintain opacity even during deep squats and lunges. The compression materials are thick enough to provide confident coverage whilst remaining breathable for intense sessions. The high-waisted designs add extra security, ensuring everything stays in place no matter how low you go.
What length are women's gym leggings?
These women's gym leggings are designed as full-length styles that typically reach the ankle. The exact length works across different heights thanks to the stretchy fabric that adapts to your leg length. If you prefer a cropped look, you can always roll the ankles up slightly, though the full-length design offers maximum coverage and versatility for all seasons.
