Key Features
Squat-Proof Construction
Our gym leggings use dense, opaque fabrics that stay opaque through deep squats and lunges. The material won't become sheer when stretched, giving you full confidence during floor exercises and lower-body movements. Flatlock seams sit flat against skin to prevent irritation during repetitive motion.
Moisture-Wicking Technology
Technical fabrics draw sweat away from skin and dry quickly between sets. This moisture management keeps you comfortable during high-intensity sessions and prevents that clingy, damp feeling. The breathable construction regulates temperature whether you're warming up or pushing through final reps.
Secure Waistbands
High-rise and mid-rise options feature wide, elasticated waistbands that stay in place without rolling down. The supportive fit feels secure without restriction, so you can move freely through burpees, sprints, and jumps. Waistbands are designed to sit comfortably against skin without creating pressure points.
Strategic Compression
Graduated compression provides a locked-in feel that contours to your shape. The snug fit reduces fabric movement during dynamic exercises whilst allowing full range of motion. Materials maintain their compression properties through multiple washes, retaining that supportive feel over time.

FAQs
How do I choose the right size gym leggings?
Check our size guide for specific measurements across waist, hips, and inseam length. Our leggings are designed to fit snugly without feeling restrictive, so choose your usual clothing size. If you're between sizes, consider whether you prefer a more compressive or relaxed fit. The high-stretch fabrics adapt to your shape whilst maintaining their supportive structure.
Are these gym leggings squat-proof?
Yes, our gym leggings use opaque, dense fabrics specifically engineered to stay non-sheer during deep squats and stretches. We test each design through full range-of-motion movements to ensure complete coverage. The material thickness and construction prevent transparency even when fabric is fully stretched.
How should I care for my workout leggings?
Machine wash in cold water with similar colours and avoid fabric softener, which can break down moisture-wicking properties. Turn leggings inside out before washing to protect the outer finish. Air dry when possible, or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing, as heat can damage technical fabrics.
What's the difference between high-rise and mid-rise leggings?
High-rise leggings sit above your natural waist, typically 2-3 inches above the belly button, providing maximum core coverage. Mid-rise options sit at or just below the natural waist. High-rise styles offer more coverage during bending movements, whilst mid-rise creates a classic fit that works well for various body types.
Can I wear these leggings for activities other than gym workouts?
Absolutely. Whilst designed for training, these leggings work brilliantly for yoga, Pilates, running, cycling, and daily wear. The versatile designs transition easily from workout to casual activities. Many customers wear them for travel, errands, and relaxed weekends alongside their gym sessions.
Who designs Myprotein gym leggings?
Our in-house design team creates every piece in the collection, combining technical expertise with real-world training experience. They focus on functional details that matter during actual workouts, from seam placement to fabric selection. The team continuously refines designs based on performance testing and customer feedback.
Will the compression in these leggings loosen over time?
Our leggings maintain their compression properties through regular wear and washing when cared for properly. The elastane content and fabric construction are engineered for durability and shape retention. Following care instructions helps preserve the compression fit, though all garments will naturally relax slightly with extensive use.
Do you offer different leg lengths?
Our standard leggings are designed as full-length styles that typically reach the ankle. Some styles in the collection feature cropped or 7/8 lengths for variety. Check individual product descriptions for specific inseam measurements. The stretchy fabric accommodates different heights, though exact length will vary based on your leg proportions.
