Gym leggings - cheaper than sweaty Betty!

Recommend me some other brands I can order online please! I've seen some Amazon leggings recommended in here but I can't find them in my browsing history. I'm after leggings to wear running and walking outside and eventually in the gym. Plain and dark colours

Anyone know, if an xs in sweaty Betty full length leggings, ammo the same in Fabletics long leggings and the shorts also...thanks the deal looks amazing

Am I not ammo

I have two pairs of Nike running leggings (fall just below knees/mid calf) that I bought in 2007 that I go back to time and time again. I’ve run marathons in them, trained them to death and they are so comfortable and fit beautifully. Been worn every week all that time and showing no signs of being ready for the bin. I’ve a few more recent pairs from Nike that are fine too But always reach for the old ones if I have a choice! Maybe they are better broken in :) I have tried loads of different brands over the years but none are as comfortable. I love sweaty Betty leggings for general wear but couldn’t wear them for a decent run.

Lucy locket loves - I got some in the sale for £5. Excellent quality.

Would second buying the CRZ yoga leggings on Amazon - great price, stay put in gym and a nice range of prints. Love the ones with side pockets 👍

@Miraloma

These are the perfect lululemon align dupes:

CRZ YOGA Women's Naked Feeling I High Waist Tight Yoga Pants Workout Leggings - 25 Inches [[https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07DCSM69V/ref=cm]]swwrcppapiglttfabcCGNKXYDKB22ZHJCH5WRP??encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have lulus and these and they are an extremely good dupe!

Is this a genuine company?

‘ It's the first legging of the naked feeling I album,fond by the majority of customers. Buttery soft and non see-through fabric provides maximum comfort, opaque visual appearance and squat proof. You feel nothing sensation on your body. Basic style matches you in everyway.’ what?! Also hand wash only…

Interested to know how many of these stay up!

I have real problems with leggings falling down, usually only after I’ve jumped around in the house a bit and actually gone out for a run in them….

The CRZ yoga ones are brilliant - despite the pukey buttery reviews! They are also fine in the washing machine.

I also like the look of these fun ones from Happystride

Flyinggeese1234 · 09/01/2022 10:50

Gufo that’s good to know! That text was from the seller’s own description. Really bizarre.

hopescope does tons of legging reviews, she has a squat test mastersheet on her website which you can sign up to be updated on

if they fall down you need to try a size bigger. and don't carry a phone in the pocket.

BAM bamboo leggings - but wait til their sales. They just had one, might still be on.

Get Ines with drawstrings.

All Decathlon one have them (and useful pockets too)

I've tried loads of leggings lately. Mostly looking for a replacement for some winter leggings from Aldi of all places...

Sweaty Betty Power High Waisted: no drawstring, thigh pockets only. Stay up well with phone in pockets, excellent inner thigh durability. Slightly less staying power after a whole days wear before running...

Sweaty Betty Power. Has loop drawstring, single thigh pocket. As above but even better staying power.

Sweaty Betty Zero Gravity. Fine for warmer weather running, not squat proof, same pockets as normal powers, has drawstring. Stays up well.

Tikiboo:. Big back pocket, stays up well, good drawstring

Gymshark Training. No drawstring or pockets, not good at staying up.

Gymshark Speed. Drawstring, back pocket too small for my phone, dubious about inner thigh durability. Stay up well, quite flattering.

Aurique (Amazon). Loop drawstring, stay up pretty well with 2 thigh pockets but questionable inner thigh durability.

Sweaty Betty are easily the best for staying up and the thigh pockets are great if I'm likely to need access to my phone. I'm a curvy 12/14 with chunky thighs being size determining, either small or medium in all these brands.

Lucy Lockets, and they have a sale on at the moment. I have a referral code if anyone wants it £5 off.

I have Sweaty Betty power leggings (definitely don't need a bigger size and if anything could go down a size) and while they stay up fine with my phone in the pocket when just doing everyday things, the only time I've tried to wear them running, they did slip down. Surely the point of the pocket is so you can carry your phone while exercising?

foreverlove · 09/01/2022 16:48

George at Asda have/had them for £10. They wash and wear very well, have had several pairs since 2019 and still looking like new.

coogee · 09/01/2022 17:03

Somebody else mentioned USA Pro from Sports Direct. I have several pairs of these and they have lasted well.

I also have Gymshark Flex Low Rise and they are good but, being full length, are a bit warm for running. Need to size up with these too.

poppedlightbulb · 09/01/2022 17:44

Yoga Leggs are brilliant. Thick enough material, high waisted and most importantly they never sag. So many lovely designs as well - I have two pairs. You'll be supporting a small independent business too!
