High impact workouts call for a certain calibre of gym leggings. Whether you're heading outdoors on a run or bike ride, or to your gym for a training session, wearing the right kit gives you a head start. If you need a pair of gym leggings to work as hard as you do, Sweaty Betty's Power Workout leggings are just what you need, made with breathable, moisture-wicking fabric that'll keep you dry, however intense your workout, with plenty of stretch for added comfort and support as you move. The compressive, high-waisted fit looks and feels so flattering and as another win, concealed zipped pockets for stowing your valuables.
The best leggings for low-impact activities
Flattering, flexible and great value for money – there's not an activewear buzzword that Goodmove doesn't cover. Made from buttery soft fabric in a striking design, these patterned leggings are perfect for low-impact workouts such as a Pilates or barre class, or for slipping on for WFH days just because they are SO ridiculously comfortable. Designed with a crowd-pleasing supportive high waist, plus a compressive fit to support and shape your legs, you really won't want to take them off.
Best for yoga
Designed with ultra flexible four-way stretch fabric, Goodmove's flared leggings fit like a second skin, but are still soft and breathable enough to move easily with you through each asana. Made with a peppermint oil-derived antibacterial finish, they'll ensure you feel fresher for longer and are so light and breathable you'll want to wear them everywhere. The stylish fold-over waistband is a stylish, modesty-preserving design feature that works wherever you choose to stretch, whether that's a yoga studio, at home or in the park during warmer weather. Choose from three covetable shades: brown haze, black and nightshade.
