Shop Men's Black Shorts at Myprotein

Men's black shorts are a training wardrobe staple — and this collection covers every format you need. From lightweight 3" race-cut styles to relaxed 9" training shorts, there's a length, fit, and fabric construction built for how you actually work out.

Whether you're after a classic woven training short, a 2-in-1 with built-in liner, or a sweat short for rest days, this range of black gym shorts for men has the variety to match your session — and your off-gym look.

Who This Collection Is For

If you train consistently and want kit that keeps up, this collection is built for you. These men's black shorts are designed for lifters, runners, and everything in between — with cuts and constructions that handle the full range of movement without getting in your way.

They're also a strong choice if you want versatility. Black gym shorts move easily from a gym session to a walk, a commute, or a day off — without looking out of place in any of those settings.

When to Wear Men's Black Shorts

In the gym, these black training shorts earn their place across the weight floor, box, and track. Woven styles give you structure and a solid feel for compound lifts; lightweight and mesh-lined options keep things comfortable during cardio or circuit training.

Outside of training, the sweat short styles in this range are built for exactly that — a looser, heavier-fabric cut that works just as well on rest days, during warm-ups, or anywhere you want comfort without sacrificing a clean look.

Key Features

Multiple Lengths to Suit Your Style

This collection runs from 3" all the way up to 9", so you can choose based on your training style and personal preference. Shorter cuts suit speed and agility work; longer lengths offer more coverage during lifts and lower-body sessions.

Woven and Knit Fabric Options

Woven constructions offer a structured, composed feel that fits into your routine. Knit and loopback fabrics deliver a softer, more relaxed finish — ideal when you want something that moves with you rather than against you.

2-in-1 Liner Shorts

Several styles in this range include a built-in liner, giving you the fit of a short with added coverage underneath. It's a clean, practical setup that removes the need to layer separately.

Versatile Black Colourway

Black works across every kit combination — whether you're matching to a training top, hoodie, or base layer. It's a low-maintenance, high-rotation choice that holds its look — follow the care label for best results.

FAQs

What men's black shorts are available in this range?

There are 20 styles to choose from, spanning lengths from 3" to 9". The range includes woven training shorts, 2-in-1 styles with built-in liners, lightweight mesh options, sweat shorts, half tights, and compression shorts. Whether you need black gym shorts for heavy lifting sessions or something more relaxed for rest days, there's a cut here for you.

What's the difference between the 5" and 7" shorts?

It largely comes down to coverage and movement preference. The 5" length sits higher on the thigh and tends to suit cardio, running, and agility-focused training where a shorter cut feels less restrictive. The 7" option offers a bit more coverage and is a popular choice for general gym training and lower-body sessions. Both lengths are available across multiple constructions in this range.

Which men's black shorts would you recommend for a rest day?

The MP Men's Rest Day 7" Sweat Short - Black is purpose-built for exactly that. It's a relaxed-fit style in a comfortable everyday fabric — the kind of short you'll reach for when you're not training but still want something clean and easy to wear. If you want a slightly heavier, more oversized feel, the MP Men's 5" Loopback Sweatshort - Washed Black is cut from a heavyweight fabric with a roomy fit that's made for taking it easy.

How should I choose the right size?

Use the size guide linked on each product page — it's the most reliable starting point. Pay attention to the fit notes too: some styles in this range are cut oversized, while others are closer-fitting. Checking both the size chart and the fit description will help you land on the right choice first time.

How can I check coverage before choosing a style?

The product page for each style includes fit notes and fabric details that give a clear picture of how the short sits and moves. The size guide on each page is the best tool for getting the right fit before you buy.

Who designed these men's black shorts?

Myprotein's in-house design team developed the full range — building each style around real training needs, from the fabric selection through to the cut and construction details.

Are these black gym shorts suitable for multiple sports?

Yes. The range covers a wide enough spread of constructions and lengths to suit most gym-based training disciplines — including weightlifting, HIIT, running, and functional fitness. Woven styles with a structured cut work well for strength training; lighter, more flexible options suit anything that involves more movement or speed.

How do I care for my men's black shorts?

Always check the care label on your specific style, as fabric constructions vary across the range. Follow the care label for best results — instructions will differ depending on the fabric and finish of each style.
