The verdict
Fit
The Motion line typically runs a compressive-but-forgiving fit with a high rise; most buyers can take their usual Under Armour size. The tapered leg should sit close through the calf.
Quality
Motion is the brand's soft mid-tier training fabric, and it generally holds up to regular gym use without pilling quickly. Stitching quality at this tier is usually solid.
Is the price fair?
At $52.50 this sits squarely mid-tier for training leggings, and the price is fair for what the line usually delivers; the sport-tape styling adds cost without adding function.
Best for
Regular gym and studio sessions where a soft, secure legging matters more than fashion-brand cachet.
Care
Machine wash cold with like colors and hang dry; heat degrades stretch fabrics.
Fit check: Under Armour
True to sizeUnder Armour's everyday lines fit true to size with a deliberately roomy, athletic-loose cut rather than a tailored one.
Owner reviews of the core Rival Fleece hoodies and joggers repeatedly land on "true to size," with the cut described as loose and comfortable rather than baggy — several hoodie owners say to size down only if they want a trimmer fit. Sizing guides likewise report the brand fits true to your usual size once you pick the right cut, since Under Armour labels pieces by cut (loose vs. fitted vs. compression) and the fitted and compression styles are intentionally much snugger than the casual gear. Reviewers note the tees and tops run long and boxy rather than fitted, and a minority of jogger buyers found the slimmer athletic cuts snug enough to size up.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size in the casual fleece, tees, and joggers — size down only if you want a closer fit in the roomy cuts, and expect the fitted/compression-labeled styles to run much snugger by design.

What owners report about Under Armour pants
Owners across Under Armour's woven and fleece pants report solid build quality that survives repeated washing without holes or seam failures for most wearers, though a subset describe the polyester ripstop shell as feeling plastic-like rather than natural against the skin. Fit runs inconsistent: several buyers found the woven styles tight through the waist and thigh and short in the leg, prompting a size-up recommendation, even as other reviewers call the same pants true to size.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently praise the durable, easy-care fabric that holds up across many washes without tearing.
- Watch out for
- The polyester ripstop shell reads as plasticky rather than soft to some wearers, and a portion of buyers report the fit running tight or short in the leg.
- Sizing
- Sizing is inconsistent between reviewers on the woven styles — several recommend sizing up for a fuller fit through the waist and thigh, since inseams can run short.
