Shop Women's Gym Shorts at Myprotein

Women's gym shorts are a wardrobe staple for a reason — the right pair keeps you comfortable, confident, and ready to move however your session demands. The MP gym shorts range covers everything from seamless scrunch styles to cycling shorts and skorts, with fits and fabrics designed around how women actually train.

Whether you're looking for women's sport shorts with a high waistband, a quick-dry finish, or a subtle scrunch detail, there's a cut and colour here to match your training style. The collection spans bold colourways and understated neutrals, so finding a pair that works for you — and looks good doing it — is straightforward.

Who This Collection Is For

These gym shorts are built for women who take their training seriously without taking the fun out of it. If you're someone who wants performance-ready kit that doesn't feel like a compromise on style, this range delivers on both fronts.

From beginners finding their rhythm to seasoned gym-goers with a packed training schedule, the range works across experience levels. The variety of lengths, silhouettes, and fabrics means there's a pair suited to your preferred training style — whether that's HIIT, lifting, cycling, or something in between.

When to Wear Gym Shorts

Women's workout shorts are the go-to for training sessions that involve a lot of movement — think weight training, HIIT circuits, functional fitness, and spin classes. The stretch-forward fabrics and close-to-body fits mean nothing gets in the way when you need to move freely and fast.

They're equally at home outside the gym. The seamless and cycling short styles work well for active outdoor activities, morning runs, or simply moving between the gym floor and the rest of your day without needing a full outfit change. Versatility is built in.

Key Features

Sweat-Wicking Fabric

The fabrics used across the range are engineered to pull moisture away from the skin during training. Whether your session is high-intensity or steady-state, the material works to keep you dry and comfortable from warm-up to cool-down.

Quick-Dry Construction

Alongside the moisture-wicking properties, these shorts dry quickly — so there's no lingering dampness mid-session or afterwards. It's a small detail that makes a noticeable difference during back-to-back training days.

High Waistband Options

Several styles across the range feature a high waistband that sits securely at the waist during movement. It's a fit that feels locked in whether you're squatting, jumping, or sprinting — no adjusting, no distractions.

Seamless Construction and Scrunch Details

The seamless styles are cut to reduce friction points and move with the body naturally. Subtle scrunch detailing on select styles adds a shape-conscious finish without compromising on practicality — it's the kind of design that earns its place in a gym bag.

FAQs

What women's gym shorts does Myprotein offer?

The range includes seamless scrunch shorts, cycling shorts, training shorts, skorts, and sweatshorts — in a variety of lengths, fits, and colourways. Whether you want something minimal and streamlined or a style with more coverage, there's a cut here that fits. The collection spans neutrals like black and light grey marl through to bolder shades like coral pink and bubblegum.

How do I find the right size in women's sport shorts?

Myprotein's size guide is the best starting point — it's available on each product page and maps measurements directly to clothing sizes. If you're between sizes, consider the fit you prefer: the seamless styles tend to have a closer, more contoured fit, while training shorts offer a slightly more relaxed silhouette. When in doubt, sizing up gives you more freedom of movement without sacrificing security.

Are these gym shorts suitable for high-intensity training?

Yes — the range is designed with movement in mind. The sweat-wicking, quick-dry fabrics handle high-output sessions well, and styles with a high waistband sit securely during dynamic movements like jumps, sprints, and squats. They're equally suited to steady-state training, so they pull double duty across different session types.

Which gym shorts would you recommend for someone who wants style and performance?

The MP Women's Tempo Ultra Seamless Cycling Shorts are worth a look. The high waistband keeps everything in place during intense sessions, and the subtle scrunch detail adds a shape-enhancing finish that works beyond just the gym floor. They're available in multiple colourways, including Dark Truffle and Deep Midnight.

How should I care for my women's workout shorts to keep them in good condition?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle and avoid fabric softener — it can degrade the performance properties of the fabric over time. Turn them inside out before washing to protect the finish, and air dry where possible rather than using a tumble dryer. Following the care label on each product is always the safest guide.

Who designs the MP gym shorts range?

The range is designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. They draw on athlete feedback and real training environments to shape both the fit and the function of each style — which is why the details, from waistband placement to fabric weight, tend to feel considered rather than incidental.

Can I wear these shorts for activities outside the gym?

Absolutely. The cycling short and seamless styles in particular transition well from the gym to everyday active wear. The fabrics are lightweight and breathable enough for outdoor training, and the cleaner silhouettes mean they work just as well on a morning walk or a rest-day errand run as they do in a training session.

Are the gym shorts true to size?

Generally, yes — but fit can vary slightly between styles. Seamless and cycling short styles are designed to fit close to the body, so they're true to size with a snug, supportive feel. The training and sweatshort styles are cut with a bit more room. Checking the size guide on the individual product page gives you the most accurate steer before buying.
