Key Features
Flattering High-Waisted Designs
High waistbands sit comfortably at your natural waist and stay in place during movement. The secure fit means no rolling down mid-workout, and the coverage feels supportive without being restrictive.
Moisture-Wicking Fabrics
Breathable materials pull sweat away from your skin so you stay dry during intense sessions. Quick-drying technology means these shorts feel fresh even when you're working hard.
Stretchy, Movement-Friendly Fit
Four-way stretch fabric moves with your body through every lunge, jump and lift. The material recovers its shape session after session, maintaining that just-right fit over time.
Seamless Construction Options
Selected styles feature seamless designs that eliminate chafing and create smooth lines under clothing. Fewer seams mean more comfort during long training sessions and less irritation on sensitive skin.

FAQs
How do I choose the right size for gym shorts?
Check our size guide for specific measurements across waist, hips and inseam. Most of our gym shorts feature stretchy fabrics, so if you're between sizes, the smaller option typically provides a more compressive fit whilst the larger offers more relaxed coverage. Read customer reviews for insights on whether styles run true to size.
What's the difference between cycling shorts and regular gym shorts?
Cycling shorts have a longer inseam, usually finishing mid-thigh or just above the knee, and offer more coverage during squats and leg exercises. Regular gym shorts tend to be shorter with a looser fit, giving you more airflow and freedom for cardio-focused sessions. Both work brilliantly for training – it comes down to your coverage preference and workout type.
How should I care for my gym shorts?
Wash them inside out in cold water with similar colours to protect the fabric and maintain elasticity. Avoid fabric softener as it can break down moisture-wicking properties over time. Air-drying is best, but if you use a tumble dryer, choose a low heat setting to prevent damage to the stretch fibres.
Are these gym shorts squat-proof?
Our cycling shorts and mid-thigh styles are designed with opacity in mind, using thicker, non-sheer fabrics that maintain coverage during deep squats. Darker colours like black offer the most confidence during leg-focused sessions. Check individual product descriptions for fabric weight details.
Can I wear gym shorts for activities other than the gym?
Absolutely. These shorts work brilliantly for running, cycling, yoga, pilates and any activity where you need movement-friendly kit. Many customers also wear them for casual errands or lounging at home thanks to the comfortable fit and versatile styling.
Who designs Myprotein gym shorts?
Myprotein's in-house design team creates every piece in our activewear collection. They focus on combining technical performance with flattering fits, testing fabrics and cuts to ensure each style works for real training sessions.
What length of gym shorts is best for leg day?
Mid-thigh to knee-length cycling shorts typically work best for leg-focused training. The longer length provides coverage during deep squats and lunges whilst the compressive fit feels secure without restricting movement. Shorter styles can work too if you prefer less fabric and more airflow.
Do gym shorts work for high-intensity interval training?
Yes, particularly styles with moisture-wicking fabrics and secure waistbands. Look for shorts with four-way stretch that won't restrict you during burpees, jump squats or mountain climbers. The breathable materials help regulate temperature when you're pushing through intense intervals.
