FAQs

How do Myprotein gym shorts fit?

Our women's gym shorts are designed to fit true to size. Cycling shorts offer a close, compressive fit that stays in place during movement, while sweatshorts provide a more relaxed silhouette with an adjustable waistband. If you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit in sweatshorts, consider sizing up. Check the product page for specific measurements.

What materials are these shorts made from?

The shorts feature performance fabrics with moisture-wicking properties and stretch for comfort. Cycling shorts typically use nylon-elastane blends for compression and shape retention, while sweatshorts use cotton-polyester mixes for a softer feel. All materials are chosen for durability and easy care.

How should I wash my gym shorts?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors to maintain fabric integrity and color vibrancy. Avoid fabric softener as it can reduce moisture-wicking properties. Air drying is recommended to preserve elasticity, but you can tumble dry on low heat if needed. Turn cycling shorts inside out before washing to protect any scrunch or seamless details.

Are these shorts suitable for running?

Yes, the cycling shorts work brilliantly for running thanks to their secure fit and moisture-wicking fabrics. The close cut prevents chafing during repetitive motion. Sweatshorts suit shorter runs or warm-up jogs but might feel too relaxed for longer distances. Choose based on your preferred level of coverage and support.

Can I wear these shorts for activities other than gym workouts?

Absolutely. These women's exercise shorts transition easily between training and everyday wear. Cycling shorts pair well with oversized shirts or hoodies for running errands, while sweatshorts work for casual weekends, travel and lounging. The versatile colorways make them easy to style beyond the gym.

Who designs Myprotein's gym shorts?

All Myprotein activewear, including these gym shorts, is created by our in-house design team. They focus on combining functional performance features with contemporary style, ensuring each piece meets the demands of real training sessions while looking great.

What's the difference between cycling shorts and sweatshorts?

Cycling shorts offer a fitted, compressive feel that stays close to the body, making them ideal for high-intensity workouts where you want secure coverage. Sweatshorts provide a looser, more relaxed fit with an elasticated waistband, perfect for moderate training, warm-ups or casual wear. Choose based on your activity type and comfort preference.

Do the black shorts show sweat marks?

Black is naturally better at concealing moisture marks compared to lighter shades. The moisture-wicking fabrics in these ladies gym shorts help manage perspiration effectively, but very intense sessions may still show some dampness. If this concerns you, the black colorways offer the best coverage.
