Choosing women’s lifting clothes starts with a comfortable fit and freedom to move. Use this guide to choose leggings, shorts and a sports bra for your strength-training outfit.
What to look for in women’s lifting clothes
Fit and movement
Check the size guide and try moving through a comfortable squat and bend when trying on your outfit. The waistband should feel secure without digging in, and the fabric should let you move freely.
Fabric and coverage
Read the composition and care label for the exact style. Check coverage in the lighting you train in. Construction and fabric vary between products, so avoid assuming every pair has the same features.
Leggings or shorts?
Scrunch bum leggings offer a ruched back detail, while high-waisted gym leggings give an alternative waistband fit. Prefer a shorter length? Explore scrunch bum gym shorts.
Choosing your top and bra
Choose bra support to suit your session and personal comfort. Check individual product details for padding, straps and fit rather than assuming every style offers the same support.
