Find great value shorts for every workout

When you’re serious about your training, any old pair of shorts just won’t do. That’s why we have gym shorts for men in different lengths, cuts and colours with plenty of features so you can find the pair that matches your workout style.

Gym shorts for training days

A good pair of men’s black gym shorts can completely change the way you train. They make it easy to throw on a gym tank or tee and get out the door, without getting in the way while you run, squat, lift or move. They still have stretch while looking just as good if you need to run errands after your session.

Shorts with zip pockets for your phone

Sometimes you don’t want to take a gym bag, but you still need somewhere to put your keys, phone and a card or two. So, we’ve added zip pockets to a lot of our men’s cotton gym shorts, making it easy for you to keep your stuff on you without needing a locker.

Lightweight styles for running

You want minimal fabric when you’re running. So, a pair of lightweight men’s short gym shorts lets you get a proper stride without fabric bunching up or digging into your thighs. They come in every colour to match your existing gear, like our men’s white gym shorts that go with everything. When it gets chilly, just chuck on an active hoodie or sweatshirt and you’re good to hit the pavement.

Men's sports shorts FAQs

What length gym shorts should I choose?

Men’s gym shorts usually come in 5-inch, 7-inch and 9-inch inseams with different workouts in mind. When you need more leg mobility, like for running or HIIT sessions, a shorter 5-inch cut will give you more freedom. 7-inch inseams are a good all-rounder for weightlifting and gym sessions, while 9-inch inseams tend to be preferred for more coverage or taller men.

Which men’s shorts are good for the gym?

A pair of training or sports shorts is usually a good choice for men. You want lightweight fabric with a flexible fit and a customisable waistband that lets you move as needed throughout your workout. If you need more leg space, like for running or HIIT sessions, go for a shorter inseam as this gives you less restriction around your thighs.

How should I wash activewear after a workout?

Always wash men’s activewear following the instructions on the care label, ideally as soon after your workout as possible. Turn each item inside out, and usually use a cold, gentle wash to help keep your activewear fresh.
