Women's gym shorts

Women's gym shorts and workout shorts for training, running and rest days. The Evolve Seamless Shorts are squat proof and sweat-wicking, with a scrunch bum and a 5 inch inseam on a size M, in sizes XS to XXL.

The Evolve Seamless Shorts

A body fit in 100% Lycra, with a seamless rib to the waistband, a high build seamless line to the back and an embroidered logo on the rear waistband. They come in over 15 colourways, so a second pair does not have to look like the first.

Seamless gym shorts

Seamless shorts have fewer seams to rub through squats, lunges and long sets, which is why seamless workout shorts are the first choice for lifting.

Booty shorts and high waisted shorts

Booty shorts are the shortest cut, usually with a scrunch bum back. High waisted shorts sit at the natural waist and stay put under a cropped top.

Running shorts

Womens running shorts need to stay still at pace. Look for a waistband that does not move, a light fabric and a length that stops your thighs rubbing.

Biker and cycling shorts

Biker shorts, also sold as bike shorts, and cycling shorts run longer down the thigh, so they cover more on the bike, on the leg press and on the walk home.

Compression shorts

Compression shorts, often called spandex shorts in the US, hold close to the leg and are often worn under a looser pair. Choose a firm waistband if you are wearing them on their own.

Athletic and jogger shorts

Womens athletic shorts usually have a looser leg and an elastic waistband, and jogger shorts add a drawcord and a softer feel for rest days. Either is the easy pair to pull on over anything.

Which length to choose

Short gym shorts give the most range of movement in squats and hip work. A mid length suits running and everyday wear, and a longer leg suits anyone who wants more coverage.

Shorts or leggings?

Shorts keep you cooler and leave your knees free, and leggings give more coverage and warmth. Plenty of people train in both, so see leggings and shorts together, or add a sports bra for a gym set.

Colours

Start with black gym shorts, or go brighter with pink gym shorts and blue seamless shorts.

Frequently asked questions

Should I wear leggings or shorts to the gym?

Both workout leggings and shorts are great options for the gym and exercise. It ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many people opt for training shorts in warmer weather for better breathability and comfort.
Do I need to wear a sports bra when working out?

Yes, no matter what type of exercise you're doing, it's crucial to wear a sports bra instead of a regular bra. Choosing the right sports bra for your workout is essential for protecting your breasts during exercise. A quality sports bra should provide the support you need to keep you comfortable and secure throughout your workout.
How do I wash and care for my activewear?

To extend the life of your activewear, wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle and skip fabric softeners. We recommend washing seamless pieces like leggings and shorts in a separate bag away from items with zippers, Velcro, or other elements that could damage the fabric. Always wash them inside out and avoid using a tumble dryer for the best results.
Are Powerlete leggings and shorts squat-proof?

Yes, Powerlete leggings and shorts are 100% squat-proof, providing full coverage and confidence during any workout. It’s essential to choose the correct size, especially since our seamless items are made from a woven material that ensures durability and flexibility. Proper sizing guarantees the best fit and maintains the squat-proof integrity of the fabric.
How do I choose the right size for me?

We are very much true to size so we recommend sticking with the same size that you normally wear. If you are in-between sizes then we recommend sizing up.
