Women's Shorts with Pockets

Shop Women's Gym Shorts with Pockets at Myprotein

Women's gym shorts with pockets that actually hold your stuff — that's what this collection is built around. Every pair is designed to keep up with your training, with secure pockets that fit your phone, keys, or cards without bouncing around mid-session.

From high-waisted styles with flatlock seaming to woven gridded shorts built for dynamic movement, there's a cut and fabric here for every workout. Whether you train five days a week or squeeze in sessions where you can, these are shorts designed to perform.

Who This Collection Is For

If you've ever had to leave your phone in a locker because your shorts had nowhere to put it, this range was made for you. These are women's sports shorts with pockets built into the design — not added as an afterthought — so you can train without the faff.

They suit anyone who wants a reliable, practical short for the gym floor, studio, or outdoor run. Whether you prefer a close fit or a more relaxed cut, the range covers both, with waistband constructions and fabric weights to match different training styles.

When to Wear Women's Shorts with Pockets

These shorts work hardest in the gym — squats, lunges, circuits, weightlifting — where you need freedom of movement and somewhere to stash your phone between sets. The elasticated and high-rise waistband options feel secure during loaded movements, so you're not adjusting mid-rep.

They're just as at home on a run, in a HIIT class, or during a yoga flow. The woven gridded styles in particular suit fast-paced sessions where you need a bit more airflow and flex, while the training pocket shorts transition easily from the gym to wherever the day takes you.

Key Features

Pockets That Actually Work

These aren't decorative pockets. Built into the waistband or side seams, they're sized to hold a phone securely so it feels secure during dynamic movement — no bouncing, no digging in.

Flatlock Seam Construction

Flatlock seams sit flush against the skin rather than raised, reducing friction during repetitive movements. It's a construction detail that makes a real difference over a long session.

High-Rise and Elasticated Waistband Options

The collection includes both high-waisted styles with a structured fit and elasticated waistbands that deliver consistent comfort through a full range of motion. Pick based on how you move and what feels right for your training.

Performance-Ready Fabrics

From soft-touch woven fabric on the Velocity Ultra Gridded Shorts — designed for flexibility and ease of movement — to the streamlined knit construction of the Training Pocket Shorts, each fabric choice is deliberate and built around what the workout demands.

FAQs

What are the best women's gym shorts with pockets?

The MP Women's Training Pocket Shorts are a strong starting point — flatlock seams reduce friction during movement and the high waistband is designed to feel secure through your whole session. For something with a bit more airflow, the MP Women's Velocity Ultra Gridded Shorts use a soft-touch woven fabric that flexes with you and includes an elasticated waistband for consistent comfort. Both keep your essentials secure without compromising on feel.

Do the pockets fit a phone?

Yes. The pockets across this range are designed to hold a phone — not just a locker key. They sit securely enough that there's no uncomfortable bounce during runs or high-intensity circuits. Check the individual product page for pocket placement details, as styles vary between waistband and side-seam positions.

How do I find my size in women's training shorts?

Use the size guide on each product page — it covers waist and hip measurements to help you find the right fit. If you're between sizes, consider the style of waistband: elasticated styles tend to have a bit more give, while high-rise structured waistbands offer a more defined fit. The fit notes on each page will tell you whether the cut runs true to size.

How can I check coverage before choosing a style?

The product page for each style includes fit notes, fabric details, and imagery from multiple angles to help you assess coverage before buying. The size guide is your most reliable tool — checking your inseam measurement against the listed length for each style gives you a clear picture of where the short will sit.

What workouts are these women's exercise shorts with pockets suited to?

Across the range, you'll find styles suited to weightlifting, HIIT, running, yoga, cycling, and general gym training. The gridded shorts work particularly well for fast-paced sessions where you want a more open, flexible feel. The training pocket shorts are a solid all-rounder for any session on the gym floor.

Who designs these shorts?

All MP training shorts are designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. Every detail — from pocket placement to seam construction — is worked through with performance in mind.

How should I care for my training shorts?

Follow the care label for best results. As a general guide, machine wash on a cool cycle and avoid tumble drying where possible. Turn the shorts inside out before washing to protect any surface finishes. Washing instructions can vary slightly between fabrics, so always check the label on your specific pair.

Are these shorts available in different colours?

Yes. This collection includes multiple colourways across different styles — from classic black to lighter tones like Ice and Mist. The range is updated seasonally, so it's worth checking back regularly for new options.
