Gym leggings

I started CrossFit a couple of months ago and am now going 3 times a week. I need some new gym gear and was wondering what the best leggings are. I'm currently a size 14/16 and looking for something high waisted. I recently bought some from Pursue Fitness but I don't like the fit.

Sweaty Betty - the power leggings are pricey but worth every penny
Lululemon align - as above, pricey but worth it
Under armour
Gym shark
Nike

If you can deal with the cutesy loud designs I find Rainbows and Sprinkles gym leggings my favourite to wear while exercising. They're well made and feel like butter, and are so so comfy to work out in.

I buy mine from Nike and Under Armour. Never full price, always from the designer outlet 😜

I have tried them all and now only wear Bara. Squat proof, high waist, super smooth fabric. Not cheap, but they often do sales and discount codes.

Sweaty Betty are great they have a sale on now still expensive but the best ever leggings

Thanks everyone. I can't get over the price of these leggings 🤯 I've just ordered some GymShark ones, they were down to £17 on the sale.

Really recommend adanola leggings. Crazy comfy for the gym and very lightweight. I prefer them to my lulu align though - more flattering on me and seem more compressive somehow although don't feel it.

I've got gym leggings from m & s that are still going strong after years.

Sweaty Betty power leggings definitely - but only in the sale!

The only ones that work are these Nike pros

£31 on Amazon - I was very pleasantly surprised with these. Very comfortable and nice fabric. Not see-through. I have a couple of pairs.

Mostly though I like a pair of old fashioned sweat pants! It is too cold for leggings for me at the moment.

I love sturdy by design leggings - they come in plain or funky patterns

Silverback leggings are great and last really well
