Key Features
Performance Fabrics
Moisture-wicking materials draw sweat away from your skin, keeping you dry when training intensity ramps up. The stretchy construction allows unrestricted movement in every direction, from deep lunges to dynamic jumps.
Secure Fit
High-waisted designs stay put during your entire session, eliminating constant readjusting between sets. Wide waistbands distribute pressure evenly for comfort that lasts through lengthy training blocks.
Squat-Proof Construction
Opaque fabrics maintain coverage through full range movements. You can focus on your form without second-guessing whether your leggings are see-through during deep squats or bent-over rows.
Seamless Options
Knitted in one piece without side seams, these styles reduce friction and sit smooth against your skin. The streamlined finish works perfectly under form-fitting layers or standalone for minimal distraction.

FAQs
How do I find the right size in gym leggings?
Check the size guide on each product page for specific measurements. Leggings should feel snug without digging in at the waist or cutting off circulation. If you're between sizes, consider whether you prefer a more compressed feel or slightly relaxed fit. Remember that performance fabrics have stretch, so they'll mould to your body during wear.
What's the difference between seamless and regular leggings?
Seamless leggings are knitted in one piece without side seams, creating a smooth finish that reduces friction against your skin. Regular leggings use panels stitched together, which can offer more structured shaping. Seamless styles work brilliantly under fitted tops or for activities where you want minimal distraction, while regular construction often includes more design details and pockets.
How should I care for my gym leggings?
Wash them inside out on a cool setting to protect the fabric and maintain elasticity. Skip the fabric softener as it can coat performance fibres and reduce their moisture-wicking properties. Air drying extends the life of the elastic, but if you need to tumble dry, use a low heat setting. Avoid washing with rough fabrics like denim that might cause pilling.
Are these leggings suitable for all types of workouts?
Absolutely. The collection includes styles built for different training needs. High-waisted options with thicker waistbands suit weightlifting and strength work, while lightweight seamless pairs work well for cardio and yoga. Pocket styles add functionality for outdoor running or gym sessions where you need your phone handy. Choose based on your primary activities and what features matter most to you.
Will these leggings stay opaque during squats?
The leggings in this collection use squat-proof fabrics designed to maintain coverage through full range movements. Darker colours naturally offer more opacity, but the fabric weight and construction across the range ensure you can train confidently without worrying about transparency during deep squats or bent-over positions.
Can I wear gym leggings outside of training?
These leggings transition easily from gym to everyday activities. Pair them with an oversized jumper and trainers for casual weekends, or layer under a long coat for running errands. The sleek designs and versatile colours mean they fit seamlessly into athleisure looks while still delivering the performance features you need for actual training.
Who designs these gym leggings?
Myprotein's in-house design team creates every piece in the collection. They focus on combining practical performance features with current silhouettes and colourways, ensuring the leggings work hard during your training while looking sharp in and out of the gym.
How do flared leggings differ from straight-leg styles?
Flared leggings widen from the knee down, creating a retro-inspired silhouette that balances out the fitted upper leg and hip area. Straight-leg styles maintain consistent width throughout, offering a sleeker profile. Both deliver the same performance features, so the choice comes down to personal style preference and what proportions you find most flattering.
