Women's Gym Vests & Tank Tops

Shop Women's Gym Vests & Tank Tops at Myprotein

Whether you're lifting, running, or training through a HIIT circuit, a women's gym vest that moves with you makes a real difference. Myprotein's range of women's gym vests and tank tops is built for exactly that — cut to stay in place, made from fabrics that handle sweat, and designed to look as good between sets as they do during them.

From fitted training vests to relaxed tank tops, there's a style here for every session. The MP Tempo collection sits at the heart of the range, offering everything from classic racerbacks to seamless halter necks and zip-through designs — so whatever you're wearing underneath, there's a vest that layers over it perfectly.

Who This Collection Is For

These women's gym vests are designed for anyone who trains regularly and wants their kit to keep up. If you're in the weight room most mornings, prefer the treadmill to the bar, or cycle between studio classes and outdoor runs, you'll find a vest that fits the way you work out.

It's also a collection that works across body types and training styles. Whether you want a vest that skims the body or one with a little more structure, there's a cut here that'll feel right. No fussing with your top mid-session — just get on with it.

When to Wear Women's Gym Vests

A women's training vest earns its place in almost every kind of session. Warm weather runs, gym floor circuits, yoga flows, cycling classes, reformer Pilates — the breathable fabrics and close-to-body cuts mean you're not overheating or fighting with excess fabric when you need to move freely.

They're just as practical for travel days and rest days too. Throw a zip-through vest over a sports bra heading to the gym, or wear a halter neck under a jacket when you're on the move. These aren't single-use pieces — they slot into everyday life without any effort.

Key Features

Sweat-Wicking Fabrics

The fabrics used across this range are built to pull moisture away from the skin and dry quickly, so you stay comfortable throughout your session without that clammy feeling setting in. Whether you're at the end of a long run or halfway through a spin class, the vest works with you.

Flexible, Four-Way Stretch

Every vest in the collection is cut with stretch as a priority. The fabric moves in every direction — with you, not against you — so squats, overhead presses, and floor work feel unrestricted. Nothing rides up, pulls across the shoulders, or bunches at the waist.

A Cut for Every Preference

Racerback, high neck, halter neck, zip-through — the range covers different necklines and silhouettes so you can pick what suits your training style and what you're wearing underneath. Mix and match with sports bras, layer over a long sleeve, or wear solo on warmer days.

Durable Construction

These vests are made to go through regular washes and repeat wear without losing their shape. The seams hold, the fabric keeps its stretch, and the colour stays consistent — so your kit still looks the part after months of use, not just the first few weeks.

FAQs

What size should I choose in women's gym vests?

Myprotein gym vests are designed to fit close to the body without being overly tight. If you're between sizes and prefer a more relaxed feel, size up — if you like a snug, streamlined fit, go true to size. Check the size guide on each product page, as the fit can vary slightly between different styles in the Tempo range.

Are these women's gym vests suitable for high-intensity training?

Yes — the fabrics are built for it. The four-way stretch and moisture-wicking construction make them a practical choice for everything from heavy lifting sessions to high-intensity interval training. They're also a solid pick for lower-intensity workouts like yoga, Pilates, and walking.

Who designs the women's gym vests at Myprotein?

All women's gym vests in the MP range are designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. The team focuses on creating activewear that performs across real training environments, combining functional fabric choices with cuts and colourways that actually look good.

How do I wash my women's gym vest?

Machine wash on a cool cycle (30°C or below) and avoid tumble drying where possible — heat can break down stretch fabrics over time. Skip the fabric softener too, as it can reduce the moisture-wicking performance of the fabric. Hang or lay flat to dry and they'll keep their shape for longer.

Can I wear a women's gym vest without a sports bra underneath?

That depends on the style. High neck and halter neck vests offer more coverage and can work over a simple bralette or light support bra. Racerback and zip-through styles are designed to layer over a sports bra, which gives you the option to remove the top layer mid-session if needed. Check the individual product descriptions for guidance on the level of built-in support.

What's the difference between a gym vest and a tank top?

The terms are often used interchangeably, and in this range they refer to the same style of sleeveless top designed for training. Gym vest tends to be the more common search term in the UK, while tank top is used more broadly. Both describe the lightweight, sleeveless cut you'll find across the Tempo collection.

Do the women's gym vests come in different colours?

Yes — the range includes both neutral staples like black, white, and ivory alongside softer tones like baby pink and peach. New colourways are added seasonally, so it's worth checking back regularly if you're after something specific. Stocking up in a neutral and a seasonal colour is an easy way to keep your kit feeling fresh.

Are these women's workout vests true to size?

Generally, yes — the Tempo range is designed to fit true to size with a close, athletic cut. Seamless styles like the halter neck vest tend to have a little more natural give in the fabric, so they're particularly forgiving across different body shapes. If you're unsure, the product page size guide will give you the most accurate measurements to check against.
