Shorts

$46as of Jul 20, 2026. Check the current price at Gymshark

The verdict

A dependable, versatile pick for lifting days — black is the safer color choice if you only buy one pair.

Fit

Same dipped waistband cut as the rest of the line, built for hip mobility during squats; expect a structured, true-to-size fit.

Quality

Sturdier fabric than the brand's seamless conditioning pieces, meant to hold up to repeated barbell contact; expect solid durability for a dedicated lifting short.

Price check

$46 is on the higher side for training shorts but consistent with the brand's lifting-specific line; fair if the dipped waistband and structured build matter to your training.

Best for

Lifters wanting a black, purpose-built short that pairs with anything in a gym wardrobe.

Care

Wash cold and tumble dry low to protect the waistband elastic.

What owners report about Gymshark shorts

Across Gymshark's shorts range, owners consistently report the fit runs true to size with a stretchy, comfortable waistband, and the heavier training styles hold up through repeated sweaty sessions and washes without issue -- one owner said a pair 'came out good as new' after three workouts and a wash. Quality is less consistent on the thinner, budget-priced lines: reviewers describe some shorts as feeling like 'a sandwich bag on your legs,' with logos peeling off after a single wear and fabric snagging into holes early on.

Strengths: Owners across multiple lines report the fit runs true to size with a stretchy feel that holds up through repeated sweaty workouts and washes.
Watch out for: The thinner, budget-priced shorts draw recurring complaints about flimsy, plastic-feeling fabric, snagged holes, and logos peeling off after a single wear.
Sizing: Most owners across the range report the shorts fit true to size.
