Workout Bottoms

Your workout starts from the ground up. Our women's workout bottoms cover every training style — from high-waisted compression shorts that lock everything in place to lightweight running shorts that let you move without thinking about your gear.

Every pair is built with squat-proof fabric, secure waistbands, and the kind of stretch that keeps up with your fastest intervals and deepest lunges.

Find the Right Workout Bottoms for Every Training Day

Not every session calls for the same gear. A leg day squat circuit demands different support than a five-mile trail run, and your weekend tennis match has nothing in common with a hot yoga flow. That’s why our women’s workout bottoms come in styles built for specific movements — not generic one-size-fits-all designs that compromise on fit or function.

High-waisted options keep your core locked in without rolling down mid-set. Compression fabrics hold everything smooth through explosive movements. Relaxed-fit styles give you airflow when the temperature climbs. Whatever your training looks like this week, there’s a bottom half that matches it.

Key Features Across Our Bottoms Collection

Every style in our athletic bottoms lineup shares the same performance foundation.

  • Squat-Proof Fabric: Double-layered, four-way stretch material that never goes see-through — even at full depth.
  • Stay-Put Waistbands: Wide, high-rise bands that grip without digging. No rolling, no adjusting, no distractions.
  • Functional Pockets: Side pockets and hidden waistband pockets sized for your phone, keys, and cards.
  • Moisture-Wicking Construction: Quick-dry fabric that pulls sweat away from your skin so you stay dry from warm-up through cool-down.

Who Are Our Workout Bottoms For?

  • Gym Regulars: If you train three or more days a week and need bottoms that rotate between lifting, cardio, and stretching without falling apart.
  • Runners: Whether you’re doing intervals on the track or logging long runs on the trail, we’ve built shorts and leggings that stay put at every pace.
  • Court Sports Players: Tennis skirts and skorts with built-in compression shorts give you full range of motion with secure coverage for every lunge and lateral shuffle.
  • Athleisure Wearers: If your gym clothes double as errand clothes, brunch clothes, and travel clothes — these bottoms look as good outside the gym as they feel inside it.

FAQ

Our collection includes booty shorts, biker shorts with pockets, running shorts, mini shorts, gym shorts, full-length leggings with pockets, tennis skirts, and tennis skorts. Every style comes in multiple colors and is designed for specific training needs — from heavy lifting to distance running to court sports.
Yes. We use double-layered, four-way stretch fabric across our shorts and leggings so nothing goes see-through during squats, lunges, or deep stretches. The material is compression-tested at full range of motion to keep you covered and confident during every movement.
Biker shorts hit mid-thigh and provide more compression and coverage, making them popular for cycling, weightlifting, and layering under dresses. Booty shorts have a shorter inseam for maximum leg freedom and airflow, which makes them a go-to for leg day, warm-weather runs, and CrossFit-style workouts.
Our biker shorts and leggings both feature deep side pockets sized for most smartphones, plus hidden waistband pockets for smaller items like keys, cards, or earbuds. These pockets sit flat against your body so nothing bounces or shifts during movement.
For high-intensity training and lifting, go with biker shorts or gym shorts for compression and support. For running, choose our running shorts with built-in liners or lightweight leggings. For tennis, pickleball, or court sports, our tennis skirts and skorts offer full range of motion with built-in coverage. For yoga and studio classes, leggings or mini shorts work best.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they break down moisture-wicking properties over time. Washing inside out helps preserve the color and compression of the fabric.
