When it comes to choosing the gym shorts women  you want something that is breathable, fits well and is flattering. You also want a squat-proof construction, with wide bands and seamless designs that prevent chafing and camel toe. Junior Buyer, Georgia Morgan, advises: “A good pair of gym shorts will fit snugly without chafing or restricting the movement, and have a high waistline that is both flattering and keeps the garment in place while you squat.”

A great option for heavy lifters are the Virus High Rise Box Shorts, which are made from a soft, lightweight fabric with a double-layered gusset. This allows for a full range of motion while providing support and privacy, which is particularly important for weightlifters. These shorts are opaque in colour and have a flattering athletic trimming curve, with generous sizing for athletes with wider hips.
