Men's Gym Bottoms

Shop Men's Gym Bottoms at Myprotein

Finding the right gym bottoms changes everything about your training. Whether you're hitting a heavy leg day, running intervals, or just need something comfortable for the commute home, the right fit makes you move better and feel more focused.

This collection covers every training scenario. From lightweight shorts built for high-intensity sessions to joggers designed for rest days and everything in between, each piece is made to work as hard as you do.

Who This Collection Is For

These gym bottoms are for anyone who takes their training seriously, whether that's five sessions a week or just getting started. The range covers different fits and styles because everyone trains differently and has their own preferences for what feels right.

From lifters who need unrestricted movement through deep squats to runners looking for lightweight shorts that won't ride up, there's something here that fits how you move. The styles work just as well outside the gym too, making them practical for anyone who wants performance pieces that don't look out of place on the rest of your day.

When to Wear Men's Gym Bottoms

Different workouts need different bottoms. Shorts work brilliantly for anything high-intensity where you're generating heat quickly. HIIT sessions, sprint work, heavy leg training – all benefit from the airflow and freedom you get with a good pair of training shorts. The 2-in-1 styles give you built-in coverage if you prefer that added security during dynamic movements.

Joggers come into their own during warm-ups, outdoor training in cooler weather, and those essential recovery days when comfort matters as much as function. The woven styles offer weather resistance for outdoor sessions, while the rest day joggers are perfect for mobility work, stretching, or just keeping warm between sets. They're also ideal for the journey to and from the gym when you want to look put-together.

Key Features

Movement-Focused Design

Every piece in this collection is cut to move with you, not against you. Stretch fabrics, articulated knees, and gusseted crotches mean you can hit depth on squats, push through burpees, and sprint without any restriction. The fits are tested through real training scenarios to make sure they perform when it matters.

Quick-Drying Fabrics

Training hard means sweating hard. These bottoms use fabrics that wick moisture away and dry quickly, so you're not stuck feeling damp halfway through your session. The materials are chosen to keep you comfortable even during the most intense workouts, managing moisture without adding bulk.

Practical Storage

Secure pockets mean you can keep essentials close without worrying about them bouncing around or falling out mid-session. Zippered options keep your phone, keys, and cards safe, while the positioning is designed so nothing digs in or gets in the way of your movement.

Durable Construction

These pieces are built to handle repeated washing and intense use. Reinforced stitching in high-stress areas, quality fabrics that hold their shape, and finishes that don't fade after a few washes. They're designed to be go-to pieces that last, not items you replace every few months.

FAQs

How do I find the right size?

Check the size guide on each product page for specific measurements. Most people find their usual size works well, but if you're between sizes, consider how you prefer your gym wear to fit. Size up for a more relaxed feel, particularly in joggers, or stick with your regular size for a closer, more athletic fit in shorts. Waistbands are typically adjustable with drawcords for fine-tuning.

What's the best way to care for these gym bottoms?

Wash inside out in cold water to protect the fabric and any prints. Avoid fabric softener as it can reduce the moisture-wicking properties of technical fabrics. Air drying is best to maintain elasticity and shape, but if you use a dryer, keep it on low heat. The materials are designed to handle frequent washing without losing their performance qualities.

What's the difference between the rest day joggers and active joggers?

Rest day joggers use a softer, more relaxed fabric that prioritizes comfort for recovery, stretching, and low-intensity movement. Active joggers, particularly the woven styles, have a more structured fabric that offers weather resistance and durability for dynamic training outdoors. Both move well, but active joggers are built for more intense use.

Which length of shorts works best for different workouts?

The 7-inch inseam is a versatile middle ground that works for most training styles without riding up or restricting movement. It hits just above the knee for most people, giving you freedom for running, lifting, and everything in between. The length provides good coverage while keeping you cool during intense sessions.

Can I wear these bottoms outside the gym?

Absolutely. The joggers especially are designed to look good whether you're training or not. The rest day straight leg joggers have a clean silhouette that works well for casual wear. Even the shorts can work for summer activities beyond training. The simple designs and quality fabrics mean they don't scream 'gym gear' when you're wearing them elsewhere.

Are the pockets secure enough for my phone during workouts?

The zippered pockets are designed specifically to keep valuables secure during movement. They're positioned so your phone won't bounce or dig in, and the zippers stay closed even during high-intensity work. For activities like running where you really don't want anything moving around, the secure pockets give you peace of mind.

Who designs these gym bottoms?

Myprotein's in-house design team creates all pieces in this collection. They focus on combining practical features that matter during training with fits and styles that work in everyday life. Each piece is developed with real workout scenarios in mind, testing materials and construction to make sure they perform under pressure.

How do the 2-in-1 shorts fit compared to regular shorts?

The outer short fits similarly to regular training shorts, but you'll want to account for the inner compression layer when choosing your size. Most people stick with their usual size as the compression layer is designed to fit snugly without being restrictive. The inner layer sits close to the skin while the outer short moves freely, giving you coverage without extra bulk.
