Who This Collection Is For
Power Leggings suit anyone who takes their training seriously. If you're the type who's first in the gym and last to leave, you need kit that keeps up. These leggings work for weightlifters who need secure coverage during deep squats, runners chasing new PBs, and anyone between who values performance over fashion gimmicks.
They're also ideal if you're building a capsule gym wardrobe. The black colourway matches everything, so you can grab any top from your drawer and go. Whether you're new to structured workouts or you've been training for years, having reliable leggings that don't ride down or dig in makes every session better.
When to Wear Power Leggings
Reach for these during strength sessions when you need full freedom of movement - the stretchy fabric won't restrict your range during lunges or deadlifts. They're equally suited to cardio workouts, from treadmill sprints to HIIT circuits, staying in place no matter how explosive your movements get. The moisture-wicking properties mean they'll feel comfortable during sweaty sessions too.
Beyond the gym, they work for outdoor runs, home workouts and active recovery days. The 3/4 length option is particularly good for warmer weather or intense indoor sessions, while the full-length styles provide coverage for cooler conditions or when you prefer more fabric. Pair them with any sports bra or training top - the classic black design slots into any workout wardrobe.
Key Features
Four-Way Stretch Fabric
The material stretches in all directions, flexing with your body during dynamic movements. This means no restriction during deep squats, high knees or any exercise that demands full mobility. The fabric returns to its original shape after washing, so they won't bag out over time.
High and Mid Rise Options
Choose high-rise styles for maximum coverage and a secure fit around your waist, ideal for core work and exercises where you're bending forward. Mid-rise versions sit comfortably on your hips for those who prefer less compression around the midsection. Both stay put during movement without rolling down.
Moisture-Wicking Technology
The fabric pulls sweat away from your skin to the outer surface where it evaporates quickly. You'll feel less sticky during intense sessions, and the material dries faster between washes. This keeps you comfortable whether you're training in a warm studio or pushing through a challenging circuit.
Multiple Length Choices
Full-length leggings provide complete coverage from waist to ankle. The 7/8 length sits just above the ankle bone, perfect if you prefer a cropped look. 3/4 styles end mid-calf, offering more ventilation for hot days or heated sessions. All lengths feature the same performance fabric and fit technology.

FAQs
How do Power Leggings fit?
They're designed with a close, compressive fit that feels secure without being restrictive. The four-way stretch fabric moulds to your shape while providing light compression. If you're between sizes, consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit or down for maximum compression. The high-rise styles sit at your natural waist, while mid-rise versions sit on your hips.
What material are Power Leggings made from?
The fabric is a performance blend that combines durability with stretch and moisture-wicking properties. It's designed to pull sweat away from your skin while maintaining its shape through repeated wear and washing. The material is squat-proof, meaning it won't go sheer when stretched, and the flatlock seams reduce friction against your skin.
How should I wash my Power Leggings?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours to preserve the fabric's stretch and colour. Avoid fabric softener as it can reduce the moisture-wicking properties. Air drying is best - tumble drying on high heat can break down the elastic fibres over time. Turn them inside out before washing to protect the outer surface.
Are these leggings suitable for yoga?
Absolutely. The four-way stretch allows full range of motion for poses like downward dog and warrior sequences, while the stay-put waistband won't roll down during inversions. The fabric is thick enough to be squat-proof but flexible enough for deep stretches. Both high-rise and mid-rise options work well depending on your preference for coverage.
Can I wear Power Leggings for running?
Yes, they're designed for high-impact activities including running. The moisture-wicking fabric manages sweat during cardio sessions, and the compression fit reduces bounce without restricting your stride. The seamless waistband won't chafe during long runs, and the fabric dries quickly if you get caught in light rain.
Who designed the Power Leggings collection?
Myprotein's in-house design team created the Power range specifically for serious training. They've focused on performance features that matter - durable fabrics, functional fits and practical details like stay-put waistbands. The team tests each design through real workouts to make sure it performs under pressure.
What's the difference between the 7/8 and 3/4 lengths?
The 7/8 length sits just above your ankle bone, creating a cropped look that's close to full-length. The 3/4 version ends mid-calf, providing more ventilation and a distinctly shorter silhouette. Choose 7/8 for a modern cropped style that works year-round, or 3/4 for warmer conditions or when you want more airflow around your lower legs.
Do the mesh panel leggings offer the same coverage?
Yes, the mesh inserts are strategically placed to maintain coverage while adding breathability. The mesh is dense enough to be non-transparent and positioned to avoid high-friction areas. You'll get extra ventilation without compromising on modesty or comfort during any exercise.
