MP Originals brings together essential activewear pieces designed to work as hard as you do. This collection focuses on everyday gym staples built with quality fabrics and thoughtful details that make a difference during your training sessions.

From performance tees to curve-flattering cycling shorts, each piece balances function with style. The range uses moisture-wicking materials and flexible constructions that move naturally with your body, whether you're lifting, running, or recovering between sets.

Who This Collection Is For

MP Originals works for anyone building their activewear rotation with reliable basics. These pieces suit gym regulars who need dependable gear that performs consistently, session after session, without requiring constant replacement.

The collection also fits those new to training who want quality foundational items without unnecessary complexity. Simple designs and versatile colourways make it easy to build a functional workout wardrobe that covers multiple training styles.

Perfect For Any Workout

These pieces transition smoothly across different training environments. Wear them for strength sessions where you need unrestricted movement, cardio workouts that demand breathability, or stretching routines requiring flexibility in the fabric.

The straightforward styling also makes them practical for casual wear between sessions. Pair the performance tees with joggers for post-gym errands, or wear the cycling shorts under oversized hoodies for a relaxed weekend look that still feels put together.

Key Features

Moisture-Wicking Fabrics

The collection uses materials designed to draw sweat away from your skin during intense training. This keeps you feeling fresher for longer and prevents that heavy, saturated feeling when you're pushing through challenging sets.

Four-Way Stretch Construction

Fabrics stretch in multiple directions, giving you full range of motion whether you're squatting deep, reaching overhead, or moving through dynamic warm-ups. The material returns to shape after stretching, maintaining its fit over time.

Flattering Cuts and Seam Placement

Thoughtful design details create shapes that follow your natural contours. Strategic seaming on the cycling shorts enhances your silhouette, while the performance tees use modern fits that work across different body types without excess fabric bunching during movement.

Versatile Colour Options

The range includes classic neutrals alongside muted earth tones that coordinate easily with existing activewear. This makes mixing and matching simple when you're getting dressed for early morning sessions without overthinking your outfit choices.

FAQs

How do MP Originals pieces fit compared to standard sizing?

The collection generally runs true to size with modern athletic cuts. The men's performance tees offer a relaxed fit through the body with slightly tapered sleeves, whilst the women's cycling shorts feature a high-waisted, compression-style fit. Check the size guide on each product page for specific measurements to ensure the best fit for your body type.

Can I put these items in the washing machine?

Yes, all MP Originals pieces are machine washable. Turn items inside out and wash on a cool cycle (30°C or below) with similar colours to preserve the fabric integrity and colour vibrancy. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce moisture-wicking properties, and air dry rather than tumble drying to extend the garment's lifespan.

What makes the cycling shorts different from regular leggings?

The cycling shorts feature a shorter leg length that typically hits mid-thigh, making them ideal for warmer training environments or exercises where full-length leggings feel restrictive. The Curve range specifically includes strategic seaming designed to follow and enhance your natural body shape, whilst the squat-proof fabric ensures opacity during deep movements.

Are these pieces suitable for hot yoga or high-intensity interval training?

Absolutely. The moisture-wicking fabrics draw sweat away from your skin, keeping you comfortable during heated sessions or intense cardio bursts. The four-way stretch construction allows full range of motion for dynamic movements, whilst the breathable materials prevent overheating when your heart rate climbs.

Who designs the MP Originals collection?

Myprotein's in-house design team creates the MP Originals range, drawing on feedback from the training community to develop practical pieces that address real needs. The team focuses on balancing function with modern styling, ensuring each item works technically whilst maintaining a clean aesthetic that transitions beyond the gym.

How do I style these pieces outside the gym?

The neutral colourways and streamlined designs make these pieces easy to incorporate into casual outfits. Pair the performance tees with denim or chinos for relaxed weekend wear, or layer under open shirts for added dimension. The cycling shorts work brilliantly under longline hoodies or oversized tees for comfortable athleisure looks that still feel intentional.

Will the colours fade after multiple washes?

When cared for properly, MP Originals pieces maintain their colour well over time. The key is washing on cool temperatures, turning items inside out before laundering, and avoiding harsh detergents or bleach. The marl finishes on some items naturally disguise minor fading better than solid colours, extending their fresh appearance through regular use.

Do the performance tees prevent chafing during long runs?

The smooth, stretchy fabrics and flatlock seaming minimise friction points that typically cause irritation during extended cardio sessions. The moisture-wicking properties also reduce the wet fabric rubbing that often leads to chafing, keeping you more comfortable throughout longer training sessions or outdoor runs.
