Cycling shorts women actually want to train in — built for movement, made to last. Whether you're clipping into a spin bike, smashing a HIIT session, or heading out on the road, the right pair of shorts makes a real difference. Myprotein's cycling shorts for women are designed to stay put, move with you, and handle whatever you throw at them.
From seamless constructions to pocket-equipped styles, there's a cut for every type of session. Squat-proof fabrics, flatlock seams, and sweat-wicking finishes are standard across the range — because you shouldn't have to think about your kit when you're focused on your workout.
Who This Collection Is For
These women's cycling shorts are built for anyone who trains hard and wants kit that keeps up. If you're a regular at spin class, a keen cyclist heading outdoors, or someone who just wants a reliable pair of shorts for the gym floor, you'll find something that fits the way you work out.
They're equally at home on athletes logging serious miles and gym-goers looking for a versatile short that handles squats, lunges, and everything in between. Whether you train daily or a few times a week, these shorts are made to be your go-to.
When to Wear Cycling Shorts
Ladies cycling shorts aren't just for cycling. Spin classes, weight training, yoga, Pilates, running — these shorts work across the board. The close-fit silhouette stays in place during dynamic movements, so you're not constantly adjusting mid-session.
Outside the gym, they layer easily under oversized tees or longline hoodies for a relaxed, athleisure look. Going from a morning ride to a coffee run? Women's cycling shorts transition effortlessly — comfortable enough to wear all day, smart enough to look intentional.
Key Features
Squat-Proof Fabrics
No one wants to worry about their shorts in the middle of a deadlift or a deep squat. Myprotein's women's cycling shorts are made from high-coverage fabrics that stay opaque under pressure, giving you full confidence to move without holding back.
Sweat-Wicking Performance
Moisture-wicking technology pulls sweat away from the skin and allows it to evaporate quickly, so you stay dry and comfortable throughout even the most intense sessions. It's a detail that makes a noticeable difference when training heats up.
Secure, Flattering Fit
A wide, elasticated waistband keeps everything in place without digging in. The close-fit cut sits smoothly against the body, reducing unwanted movement and staying where it should throughout every rep, stride, and stretch.
Seamless and Flatlock Construction
Seamless shorts eliminate friction points that cause irritation over long sessions. Where seams are present, flatlock construction sits flat against the skin — ideal for cycling, where comfort over extended periods really matters.

FAQs
What size should I choose in women's cycling shorts?
Cycling shorts are designed to sit close to the body, so a snug fit is normal and intentional. Use Myprotein's size guide — found on each product page — and measure your waist and hips for the most accurate sizing. If you're between sizes, consider how you prefer your kit to feel: true to size for a secure compression fit, or size up for something slightly more relaxed.
Are these cycling shorts suitable for spin classes as well as outdoor cycling?
Absolutely. The range works across both. The close-fit construction and sweat-wicking fabrics are just as effective on a spin bike as they are on the road. Several styles are also versatile enough for gym training, yoga, and running — so one pair can cover a lot of ground.
How do I care for my cycling shorts to keep them in good condition?
Machine wash on a gentle cool cycle and avoid tumble drying where possible — air drying preserves the elasticity and shape of the fabric for longer. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the moisture-wicking fibres and reduce performance over time. Always check the care label on your specific pair for full guidance.
Who designed the cycling shorts at Myprotein?
All Myprotein cycling shorts are designed by Myprotein's in-house design team, who focus on combining performance-led construction with contemporary style. Every detail — from fabric choice to seam placement — is considered with active women in mind.
Are the cycling shorts squat-proof?
Yes. The fabrics used across the range are chosen specifically for their high-coverage properties. They're tested to stay opaque during dynamic movements like squats, lunges, and stretches, so you can train with full confidence.
Do any of the cycling shorts have pockets?
Yes — the MP Women's Training Pocket Shorts are built with practical storage in mind, featuring pockets that are secure enough to hold your phone or essentials during a workout. Check individual product pages for pocket details on other styles in the range.
What is the difference between seamless and standard cycling shorts?
Seamless cycling shorts are knitted in a single piece without traditional sewn seams, which means there are no friction points against the skin. This makes them particularly comfortable for longer sessions and any activity where you're seated for extended periods. Standard styles with flatlock seams are also designed to minimise irritation, but the seamless construction takes that comfort a step further.
Can women's cycling shorts be worn as everyday casualwear?
Easily. The sleek, minimal designs in the range transition well beyond the gym — layer them under an oversized sweatshirt or longline jacket and they work just as well for casual wear. The seamless and pocket styles in particular have a clean finish that sits comfortably in an athleisure wardrobe.
