When it comes to mens shorts, training in the right pair makes a real difference. Whether you're mid-HIIT session, pushing through leg day, or just heading out for a run, Myprotein's shorts collection is built to keep up — with fabrics that move with you and fits that stay put no matter how hard you push.

From lightweight 5" woven styles to longer 9" cuts and easy-wearing sweatshorts, there's a style here for every preference and every session. Each pair is designed with real training in mind — functional details, durable construction, and that combination of comfort and performance you actually want when you're working hard.

Who This Collection Is For

These mens gym shorts are built for anyone who takes their training seriously but doesn't want to sacrifice comfort. If you're a regular at the gym, you'll find options with the 4-way stretch and secure fit that makes compound lifts and fast-paced circuits feel effortless. Runners and cardio enthusiasts will appreciate the lighter-weight cuts that don't weigh you down.

But it's not all about the gym floor. If you're after something you can wear into and out of a session without changing — or just a pair that's comfortable enough for a rest day at home — the sweatshorts in the range have you covered. This collection genuinely spans the gap between performance and everyday wear.

When to Wear These Shorts

Mens workout shorts in this range are designed to work across a wide variety of training styles. The 2-in-1 and woven styles are ideal for the gym — structured enough to feel purposeful, flexible enough for any movement pattern. The shorter 5" inseam options are a solid pick for leg day or cardio where you want maximum freedom, while the 7" and 9" lengths suit those who prefer a bit more coverage.

Beyond the gym, the Rest Day Sweatshorts are the kind of thing you'll reach for on your off days, around the house, or heading out casually. Men's athletic shorts that transition naturally from training to downtime are worth having in the rotation — and that's exactly where the range earns its place.

Key Features

4-Way Stretch Fabric

The woven and 2-in-1 training shorts use a 4-way stretch construction that moves in every direction with you. Whether you're squatting, lunging, or sprinting, the fabric responds rather than resists — no pulling, no restriction, just clean movement throughout your session.

2-in-1 Design

Select styles feature a built-in inner jersey layer that gives you confident coverage without needing separate compression shorts underneath. It's a practical detail that keeps everything in place and feels secure during high-intensity work.

Lightweight Construction

The lightweight training shorts are cut to feel almost weightless in motion — ideal for cardio, running, or any session where you'd rather forget you're wearing them. Minimal bulk, maximum breathability.

Everyday Comfort for Rest Days

The soft-touch, cotton-rich sweatshorts are built for days when recovery is the priority. A drawstring waistband means you can adjust the fit to exactly where you want it — relaxed and comfortable without feeling sloppy.

FAQs

What mens shorts are available at Myprotein?

The range covers a solid variety of styles, lengths, and fits. You'll find 2-in-1 training shorts, woven shorts in both 5" and 7" inseam lengths, lightweight options in 7" and 9" cuts, and Rest Day Sweatshorts — all available across multiple colourways including Black, Navy, Storm, and Grey Marl. Whether you want something purpose-built for training or something more relaxed for off days, there's a style here that fits.

How do I choose the right size?

A good starting point is Myprotein's size guide, which lists waist and hip measurements alongside each size. The training shorts are generally cut with an athletic fit — if you're between sizes and prefer a roomier feel, sizing up is a safe call. The sweatshorts have a drawstring waistband, so there's more flexibility in the fit there.

What are the shorts made from?

It depends on the style. The woven and 2-in-1 training shorts use a 4-way stretch woven fabric designed for performance — it's durable, flexible, and built to handle repeated use. The sweatshorts use a soft-touch, cotton-rich blend that prioritises comfort and wearability. Check the individual product page for the exact fabric composition of each style.

Which shorts would you recommend for gym training?

For the gym, the MP Men's 2-in-1 7" Training Shorts are a strong choice. The built-in inner jersey layer means you've got confident coverage throughout any exercise, and the 4-way stretch woven fabric handles everything from squats to circuits without restriction. They're available in Navy, Black, and Storm if you want options.

Are these mens gym shorts suitable for running or cardio?

Yes — particularly the lightweight training shorts in the 7" and 9" lengths, and the woven shorts in the 5" cut. The lighter fabrication and shorter inseam options are well suited to running, cycling, or any cardio session where you want the shorts to stay out of the way. The 2-in-1 styles also work well for cardio if you prefer the added coverage layer.

How should I care for my shorts?

Machine wash on a cool cycle and avoid tumble drying where possible — heat can affect the stretch properties of performance fabrics over time. Turn the shorts inside out before washing to preserve the colour and any printed or woven details. Always check the care label on your specific pair for the full guidance.

Who designed these shorts?

All the shorts in this range are designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. The brief is always the same: build something that works properly during training, holds up over time, and looks clean enough to wear beyond the gym floor.

What's the difference between the 5", 7", and 9" inseam options?

The inseam length is really a matter of personal preference and what you're training in them for. The 5" cut sits higher on the thigh — popular for leg day and cardio where maximum freedom of movement is the priority. The 7" is the most versatile length, working well across most training styles and body types. The 9" gives the most coverage and suits those who prefer a longer silhouette, or activities where a bit more length feels better.
