Best gym wear brand (specifically leggings!)

36 replies

Tinyant · 17/10/2023 08:40

It’s time to finally get myself back in the gym. I’m currently size 16-18 and none of my old gym clothes fit me😣
i want some good quality high waisted leggings that won’t keep slipping down and aren’t see through. I prefer the smooth feeling rather than shiny feeling leggings if that makes sense? 😅
any recommendations?

More utilitarian than pretty, but Ron Hill sports leggings are excellent.

KirstenBlest · 17/10/2023 09:03

If it's for working out, go for a proper make. I like Ronhill too, especially for running. I find the clothes wash well and last a long time.
If it's for looking nice at the gym, M&S do good leggings.

Another vote for M&S!

I swaer by Pink Soda Sport, the high waisted ones hold everything in. Mine have been washed 2-3 times a week for a year and are still not baggy/see through

IndiKid2015 · 17/10/2023 19:30

Next ones are reasonably priced, non shiny, non see through and don’t slip down .

Swearwolf · 17/10/2023 19:33

If you don't mind the price, or if they have your size in the sale, Sweaty Betty leggings are amazing. They're the only ones I've had that never slip or roll down.

Another vote for M&S

Purplecatshopaholic · 17/10/2023 19:37

I like Sweaty Betty, and Lululemon. Yes, a bit spendy but there are sales, and I have had them for years now.

xyz111 · 17/10/2023 19:39

I've always found Nike good. I've had one pair for over 10 years and they're still perfectly fine, even after 1000s of washes.

desikated · 17/10/2023 19:42

Ronhill and Kalenji are good and reasonably priced.

I really like under armour leggings. They have a side pocket to which fits a phone do v handy. Def cheaper than Elizabeth who perspires.

gingercat02 · 17/10/2023 19:52

I love Bam leggings really comfy and don't slip down

LeonBlack · 17/10/2023 19:57

Sweaty Betty 7/8 power leggings are The Best. Indestructible and incredibly flattering and comfortable.

I tumble dry them too, and they’re fine.

bingohandjob · 17/10/2023 19:59

M&S Good Move - I've picked up a few pairs on Vinted, brand new but half price, and they are great. I wear them every working day on an hour's walk to then from work. Super comfy and not see through.

Vicliz24 · 17/10/2023 20:34

Another vote for M&S Goodmove. I actually prefer them to Sweaty Betty .

Ihatemondays1962 · 17/10/2023 20:36

Sweaty Betty for me too. Very flattering.

Shannith · 17/10/2023 20:37

Sweetly Betty hands down.

Last forever, no sagging, flattering. Best I've had by some way (and I've got loads)

LaMadameCholet · 17/10/2023 20:38

Fabletics powerhold. Nothing comes close. Never roll down, never sag and never see through.

KevinDeBrioche · 17/10/2023 20:38

Lululemon align are amazing

Lyricallie · 17/10/2023 20:40

I love m’y Fabletics ones and my lululemons. I basically live in my gym gear so I don’t mind spending money on them as the cost per wear is lower.

stopitstopitnooow · 17/10/2023 20:41

Gymshark, Oner active, pursue fitness

Eve · 17/10/2023 20:42

Sweaty Betty - look on brandalley and for sales.

knitandnatter · 17/10/2023 20:45

Sweaty Betty The power. Amazing and I've tried loads

Comethefuckonbridget1 · 17/10/2023 20:48

I have some leggings from women’s best which I love

Daveismyhero · 17/10/2023 20:49

Definitely sweaty Betty power or pocket sport. These are the inky leggings I've had that don't slip down

desikated · 17/10/2023 21:20
