Built for real training

  • Squat-proof: LuxeForm fabric stays opaque through deep squats, deadlifts and hip thrusts.
  • No mid-set adjusting: the criss-cross waistband hugs your core without rolling down.
  • Four-way stretch: moves with you through lunges, box jumps and lateral drills.
  • Moisture wicking: pulls sweat off your skin so you stay dry between sets.

5-inch or 3-inch?

Go 5-inch for more coverage on heavy lifts and machine work, or 3-inch for cardio, sprints and a shorter look. Both women's workout shorts run true to size, XS to L. Our model is 5'7" and wears a Small. Complete the look with a racerback sports bra, a cropped hoodie for warm-ups or a coordinated workout set.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Both styles are cut from squat-proof LuxeForm, so you can squat deep under bright gym lights without worrying about see-through fabric.
Yes. Every pair has a full-size secret pocket in the waistband for your phone, cards or keys.
Gym shorts typically use a thicker, more durable fabric designed to handle barbell contact, floor work, and high-friction movements. Running shorts use lighter, faster-drying fabrics optimized for stride freedom and airflow. If you primarily lift, gym shorts are the better choice.
Yes, especially for treadmill sessions and shorter outdoor runs. The durable fabric and secure waistband hold up to mixed training. For distances over 5K or race day, a lighter women's running short will feel more comfortable.
The waistband should sit snug against your core without cutting in at the hip. The leg should have enough room for deep squats and lunges without pulling or bunching. If the waistband leaves pressure marks or digs into your skin, size up. If the fabric shifts during movement, size down.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Hang or lay flat to dry rather than putting them in the dryer, which can degrade elastic fibers and the moisture-wicking finish over time. Skip fabric softener, which coats performance fabrics and reduces breathability.
