i got a comopletley fab usa pro black crop bottom thing from the gym. absolutely themost wonderful item in my wardrobe.
sicnce then, i have bought some usa pro stuff from figleaves.com, whish is also fine, but the black is thebest.
rather annoyingly i found one of them in tkmaxx at half the price i paid for it on figleaves. but, sinc ei wear thme so much, not too bothered.

no, they just sell some stuff at reception desk. i always thoughtit a bit of a con, but once i had managed to forget to bring my bottoms, and going back to get them from home would have meant i didnt have enough time for my work out, so i paid 28 punds for them. though tit was a rip off, but i know think they were cheap considering how much i wear them wash them even tumble dry them and i look really good in them since losing weight!

I usually go for Nike stuff but recently they seem to have decided that everyone is over 6 foot so their trousers seem to be very very long.

M&S do good below the knee trousers. At least they did last year. I bought 4 pairs. They might also have some decent tops. They bought out that sports wear manufacturers (can't remember the name) a while ago and some of the stuff is ok. Some is bogging though.

Probably not baggy enough. Why do you want cropped gym trousers? You'll need to remember to shave your legs before going???

I used to get lots of stuff from the Sweat Shop. They might do mail order. Hang on, I'll check.

Yes they do. And a store in Auld Reekie.

OK, I'm losing the plot here, you don't want baggy below the knee?

Trust me - the model won't have been near a gym in her life and her calves will be skinnier than a pencil.
