Key Features
Moisture-Wicking Fabrics
Technical materials draw sweat away from your skin and dry quickly, keeping you comfortable through high-intensity sessions. The fabrics maintain their performance wash after wash, so they'll still feel fresh months down the line.
Seamless Construction
Flatlock seams and bonded edges eliminate the friction points that cause irritation during repetitive movements. This construction technique creates a smooth finish that sits flush against your skin, particularly noticeable during longer training sessions.
Secure Fit Technology
Elasticated waistbands and compression panels stay in place without constant adjusting. The designs account for the full range of motion you'll use in training, from deep squats to overhead reaches, so nothing rides up or shifts mid-set.
Durable Performance Materials
The fabric blends resist pilling and hold their shape through regular washing and wear. Reinforced stitching at stress points means these pieces maintain their structure and compression even with frequent use.

FAQs
How do I find the right size in women's gym shorts?
Check the detailed size guide on each product page, which includes waist, hip, and inside leg measurements. Most customers find their usual size works well, but if you're between sizes, consider whether you prefer a snugger compression fit or slightly more relaxed coverage. The cycling shorts typically run true to size with their stretchy fabric, whilst the running shorts offer a bit more room in the outer layer.
What's the difference between cycling shorts and running shorts?
Cycling shorts sit close to the skin with compression fabric and typically have a longer inseam for coverage during cycling movements. Running shorts often feature a shorter, looser outer layer for unrestricted leg movement, sometimes with integrated compression shorts underneath. Both styles work for various activities, so it comes down to your preference for fit and coverage.
How should I care for moisture-wicking gym clothing?
Wash inside out in cold water with similar colours to preserve the fabric's technical properties. Avoid fabric softener as it can reduce moisture-wicking performance. Air drying works best, but if you use a tumble dryer, choose a low heat setting to maintain the elasticity and shape of the materials.
Are these shorts suitable for high-intensity interval training?
Absolutely. The secure waistbands and stretchy fabrics handle dynamic movements like burpees, jump squats, and sprint intervals without riding up or restricting your range of motion. The moisture-wicking properties become particularly noticeable during HIIT sessions when you're generating significant heat.
Can I wear cycling shorts for activities other than cycling?
Definitely. Many people prefer cycling shorts for strength training, yoga, and general gym sessions because of their secure fit and full coverage. They're particularly popular for lower body workouts where you want to ensure nothing shifts during squats, lunges, or leg presses.
Who designed this women's gym clothing collection?
Myprotein's in-house design team developed this range, drawing on feedback from athletes and gym-goers to create practical, performance-focused pieces. They've focused on addressing common frustrations with gym wear, like slipping waistbands and see-through fabrics, whilst keeping the designs versatile enough for various training styles.
Will these shorts stay opaque during squats and bends?
The fabrics are specifically chosen for their squat-proof qualities, meaning they maintain opacity even when stretched. The seamless scrunch shorts and cycling shorts use thicker, compression materials that don't become see-through during deep movements, whilst the two-in-one running shorts provide double coverage with their integrated inner shorts.
How durable are these gym shorts with regular use?
The reinforced stitching and quality fabric blends hold up well to frequent washing and intense training sessions. You can expect the compression to remain effective and the colours to stay vibrant for many months of regular use. Following the care instructions helps maximise the lifespan of the technical fabrics.
