What Are the Best Shorts to Wear to the Gym?

Mesh, Yoga and Athletic Shorts Explained

The best shorts for the gym depend on how you train. For weightlifting, cardio, stretching or everyday fitness, look for comfort, freedom of movement and fabric that suits your workout. Mesh shorts, yoga shorts and athletic shorts each offer something different. Here's how to choose.

1. Mesh Shorts: Breathable Everyday Comfort

If you prefer a relaxed fit, mesh shorts are a practical choice for general gym sessions. M.U.S.T. Fit® Sports Unisex Mesh Shorts feature moisture-wicking fabric, two-way stretch and an elastic waistband. Made from 100% recycled polyester, they're designed for comfort and movement.

How Do You Choose the Right Gym Shorts?

Think about three things:

  • Your workout: Running, lifting, yoga or general fitness?

  • Your preferred fit: Relaxed and breathable, or close-fitting and stretchy?

  • Your comfort: Consider waistband design, fabric, length and freedom of movement.

There isn't one perfect pair for everyone. The best gym shorts are the ones that feel comfortable, suit your workout and let you move with confidence.
