Men's Shorts with Pockets

Shop Men's Shorts with Pockets at Myprotein

Men's gym shorts with pockets that actually hold your stuff — that's the starting point for this collection. Every pair is built with secure storage as standard, so your phone, keys, and earbuds feel secure whether you're mid-set or heading between sessions.

The range covers 5" and 7" inseams, woven and 2-in-1 constructions, across a full spread of colourways from clean neutrals to bolder training shades. Whether you need men's training shorts with pockets for a structured gym session or men's sport shorts with pockets versatile enough to wear beyond the weights room, there's a cut here for you.

Who This Collection Is For

Built for anyone who trains and refuses to sacrifice storage for style. If you've ever had to leave your phone in a locker because your shorts have no useful pockets, this range fixes that. These are men's workout shorts with pockets designed around how people actually train.

From beginners looking for a reliable everyday training short, to experienced lifters who want a pair that keeps up through heavy compound sessions — this collection covers both. The variety of fits, lengths, and fabrics means there's something whether your workout is lifting, cardio, HIIT, or a mix of all three.

When to Wear Men's Shorts with Pockets

These shorts are built for the gym floor first. The 5" inseam across most styles gives your legs the clearance they need for squats, lunges, and deadlifts, while zip or secure open pockets keep your essentials close without getting in the way of movement.

They work just as well outside the gym. The woven constructions handle outdoor runs and box sessions, while the 2-in-1 styles offer added coverage for higher-intensity cardio. Pair them with a training tee or a tank and they're ready for whatever the session demands.

Key Features

Practical Pocket Design

Pockets are built in as a core feature, not an afterthought. Depending on the style, you'll find side seam pockets, zip-secure pockets, and internal phone pockets — all sized to hold what you actually carry to the gym.

5" and 7" Inseam Options

Most styles sit at a 5" inseam, giving your legs freedom without the short feeling too brief. For those who prefer a little more coverage, 7" options are available in select styles and colourways.

Woven and 2-in-1 Constructions

Woven shorts offer a relaxed feel that suits lifting and gym floor training. The 2-in-1 styles add a fitted inner layer designed to move with you during dynamic workouts, so everything feels secure through the session.

Side Split Hem Detail

Several styles feature side splits at the hem — a small detail that makes a real difference when you're training through a full range of movement. More clearance at the hem means less restriction at the hip.

FAQs

What are the best mens gym shorts with pockets for weight training?

For lifting, a 5" woven short tends to be the go-to. The woven fabric has a more structured feel that suits the gym floor, and the 5" inseam gives your legs room through squats and deadlifts without the short riding up. The MP Men's Training 5" Woven Shorts - Racing Green are a solid example — the side splits at the hem add extra clearance for deep ranges of movement, and the fit is designed to feel secure at the hip. Check the product page for fit notes and size guidance.

Do all the shorts in this range have pockets?

Yes — every style in this collection is designed with pockets as a core feature. Specific pocket placement and style varies by design: some have side seam pockets, others include zip-secure or internal phone pockets. Check the individual product page to see the exact pocket configuration on the style you're looking at.

What's the difference between woven shorts and 2-in-1 shorts?

Woven shorts are a single-layer construction with a relaxed feel — ideal for lifting and gym floor sessions. The 2-in-1 styles have an outer shell plus a fitted inner layer that moves with you, making them better suited to higher-intensity cardio, HIIT, or any session where you want that extra feeling of security during dynamic movement.

What inseam lengths are available in this range?

The majority of styles in this collection feature a 5" inseam, which sits at a versatile mid-thigh length for most training. There are also 7" options available in select styles for anyone who prefers a bit more coverage. The inseam length is listed in each product name, so it's easy to filter by your preference.

How do I find the right size in men's shorts with pockets?

Start with the size guide on the product page — it's the most reliable reference point. Check the product page for fit notes and size guidance. If you're between sizes, consider how you like your shorts to sit: relaxed fits tend to be more forgiving sized up, while 2-in-1 styles with an inner layer are typically more form-fitting. Waist measurements are your most useful starting reference.

How should I wash these training shorts?

Follow the care label for best results, as wash instructions can vary between woven and 2-in-1 constructions. As a general guide, machine washing on a cool, gentle cycle and avoiding tumble drying where possible helps maintain the garment. Washing inside out can help preserve the colour and any printed or textured detailing.

Who designed these men's training shorts with pockets?

Every style in this collection was designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. The aim is always to build training-specific shorts that perform across real gym sessions — not just look good in a flat lay. That means pocket placement, hem construction, and fabric choice are all considered with active use in mind.

Are these shorts suitable for activities outside the gym?

Definitely. While they're built with training in mind, the clean cut and versatile colourways across the range make them easy to wear for outdoor runs, sport, or casual use on rest days. The woven styles in particular have a look that works just as well off the gym floor as on it.
