Fit you can trust under the bar

Too much women's training gear is designed to be looked at, not trained in. We start with the fit and build out from there, so nothing rides up, rolls down, or goes sheer at the bottom of a squat. Both sit in a midweight, four-way-stretch fabric that stays opaque under load and soft enough to live in long after the session ends.

Choosing between the two shorts comes down to what you want from them. If you're after a smooth, sculpted feel with light compression, reach for the Legacy Training Short, high-rise, Y-back and seam-free up front. If you'd rather have pockets and a little more length for the gym and the day around it, the Studio Flex Short gives you a 4-inch inseam, two deep front pockets and a stretch slit.

More than a shorts brand

The shorts get the attention, but the women's range is built to dress a whole training week. Tops are cut close enough to move in without clinging, and the leggings carry the same four-way stretch and stay-put waistband as the shorts, so whatever you reach for holds its place through lifts, runs and everything in between.

None of it looks out of place once you leave the gym. The fabrics keep their shape and color wash after wash, and the pieces layer together, so the leggings you trained in still work for the drive home and the rest of the day. Buy the piece you need now, and it slots into what you already own. Cut, sewn, and shipped by a veteran-owned team in Gainesville, GA, with free shipping once you clear $99.
