From compression layers that stay put during box jumps to breathable tees that handle serious sweat, these pieces are built for the kind of training that pushes your limits.

When to Wear HIIT Clothes
HIIT workout clothing excels during any training session that involves rapid movement changes and serious sweat output. These pieces handle circuit training, bootcamp-style workouts, CrossFit sessions, and any combination of cardio and strength intervals where you need maximum mobility and moisture management.
Beyond dedicated HIIT sessions, this clothing works brilliantly for running, weightlifting, sports training, and active recovery days. The versatile designs transition easily from your training space to post-workout errands, making them practical choices for busy schedules that don't allow time for outfit changes.
Key Features
Moisture-Wicking Fabrics
Quick-drying materials pull sweat away from your skin, keeping you comfortable through multiple high-intensity intervals. The fabrics dry rapidly between sessions, so you're not stuck in damp clothing during recovery periods.
Four-Way Stretch Construction
Stretchy materials that move in all directions give you unrestricted movement through burpees, mountain climbers, and dynamic exercises. The fabric springs back to shape after stretching, maintaining its fit through countless workouts.
Secure, Flatlock Seams
Flatlock stitching creates smooth seams that won't chafe during repetitive movements. These reinforced seams hold up to the constant stress of explosive exercises whilst sitting flat against your skin.
Compression Fit Options
Compression layers provide a locked-in feel that stays secure during plyometric movements. The snug fit reduces fabric movement and gives you one less thing to adjust mid-workout.

FAQs
What makes HIIT clothing different from regular gym wear?
HIIT training clothing prioritises quick-drying fabrics and secure fits that stay in place during explosive movements. Regular gym wear might shift or become uncomfortable during rapid transitions between exercises, whilst HIIT-specific pieces are designed to handle constant movement changes and heavy sweat output without needing adjustment.
How should HIIT workout clothing fit?
Most HIIT clothing works best with a close-to-body fit that moves with you rather than against you. Tops should sit snugly without restriction, allowing full range of motion through your shoulders and arms. Bottoms need a secure waistband and enough stretch to accommodate deep squats and high knees without sliding down or feeling restrictive.
Can I wear compression layers for all HIIT sessions?
Compression pieces work brilliantly for HIIT training as they provide a locked-in feel during jumping and plyometric movements. Some people prefer them for every session, whilst others rotate between compression and looser fits depending on the workout intensity and personal comfort. Try both styles to see what feels best for your training.
How do I care for HIIT training clothes?
Wash HIIT clothing after each use to remove sweat and bacteria that can break down performance fabrics. Use a cool wash cycle and avoid fabric softener, which can clog the moisture-wicking properties of technical materials. Air drying preserves the fabric's stretch and shape better than tumble drying.
What fabrics work best for HIIT wear?
Polyester blends excel at wicking moisture away from skin and drying quickly between intervals. Nylon adds durability and four-way stretch for unrestricted movement. Many HIIT pieces combine these with a small percentage of elastane for shape retention and compression properties that last through multiple washes.
Who designs Myprotein's HIIT clothing range?
Myprotein's in-house design team creates all the clothing in this collection, working with feedback from athletes and trainers who do interval training regularly. The team focuses on practical features that matter during actual workouts, from pocket placement to seam positioning that won't interfere with common HIIT movements.
Can HIIT gym clothing work for other types of training?
Absolutely. The same features that make these pieces excellent for interval training translate well to running, circuit training, weightlifting, and sports conditioning. The moisture management and mobility you need for HIIT sessions work equally well for any training that gets your heart rate up and demands unrestricted movement.
How many HIIT training outfits do I need?
This depends on your training frequency and laundry schedule. Training three to four times weekly typically requires at least two complete outfits, so you've always got clean kit ready whilst the other is in the wash. If you train daily or prefer not doing laundry multiple times per week, three to four outfits gives you more flexibility.
