Gymshark leggings sell out time & time again for a reason – these are the pairs your workout wardrobe needs
Gymshark leggings have become a thing of worship in the exercise industry, loved for their reasonable price point, funky colour-ways and high quality fabrics. The fact that all the big fitness influencers (@kk_fit_, @6ourt and @whitneyysimmons to name a few) are such huge fans of Gymshark certainly helps, but it’s the tried and true nature of the brand that keeps us coming back when it’s time to restock our workout wardrobes.
A quick poll at GLAMOUR HQ revealed that Gymshark’s gym leggings - namely their high-waisted gym leggings, black gym leggings and yoga pants - come out top every time, akin to the likes of Nike gym leggings. The brand caters to a wide range of sizes and shows pictures of each product on a variety of body types, so you can gauge how things might look on you. We love to see it.
Tonnes of other gym clothes can be found on the website – and its sports bras, running shorts and loungewear are definitely tabs to bookmark for later – but Gymshark leggings are by far their most sought after product. If ever you’ve wondered which pair of Gymshark leggings is best then you’ve landed in exactly the right place. We’ve provided you with an inside scoop of the best leggings that give a 10/10 performance for each workout, which ones are squat proof, and which ones are the most flattering for that all-important “I’m at the gym” pic you’ll want to share on Insta.
