Product Information

Fit definitely also ventures into the realm of style, so think about what you want folks to see you wearing. Style These tests are designed to push a product’s performance in different training verticals and to test a short’s overall durability. I vary my training a lot so I’m constantly trying to find the nuance that exists between different gym shorts. With reviewing and testing training shoes and apparel, I have similar means of assessing different products. For men’s workout shorts specifically, I consider how a short is intended to be used, then I train in them — a lot. With multiple options of men's athletic shorts on the market, the lining, length, and material needs differ depending on the activity, personal style, and fit preference," says Joe Kudla, founder of Vuori. If you lift a lot, the 9-inch inseam provides more coverage and protection from the barbell. The 7-inch inseam is a good blend of the two. So, if you do a bit of everything, that’s a solid choice.

In a gym setting, you’re going to be going through a wide range of motions, so a pair of shorts with a lot of stretch is very handy. Lunges, jumps, sprints, and lateral movements all require a wide range of motion. How the material is cut and sewn is as important as the material itself. Mesh vents are useful for allowing excess heat to escape, and scalloped hems give you even more freedom to move. Flat seams prevent chafing. Think carefully about what you’ll be using your shorts for, and choose accordingly. Shorts should fit closely enough so they don’t snag on equipment but still be loose enough for comfort and breathability; (photo/Miya Tsudome) Fit We've enlisted the help of our expert panel of testers to put a bunch of gym shorts through their paces. Several hundreds of squats, lifting sessions, laps and lunges later and we've whittled down our edit of the very best men's gym shorts. When looking into different inseam options there are two aspects to consider. The first is your preference and what you like with your shorts. The second is how the inseam can support or hinder performance.Material: Polyester, nylon, and spandex | Lining options: Lined or unlined | Inseam length: 5 inches or 7 inches I also like that Lululemon does a pretty good job of fixing their products when they break. Every time I run into durability issues with my Pace Breaker Short, Lululemon either fixes them or replaces them which is nice for peace of mind. Favorite Gym Shorts With a Liner Additionally, our tester found the large to fit more like a medium, which lead to a slightly oppressive feeling of limited mobility, especially while squatting. Potential buyers may want to size up or try these shorts on before purchasing. Our tester wore these shorts to the climbing gym and was impressed by the way they moved through high steps and heel hooks. It was the same story in the weight room — squats, lunges, and deadlifts presented no problems or restrictions in range of motion. We didn’t make it to any yoga classes during testing but we’re confident that these blended merino shorts would be just as at home on the mat as they were in the weight room and climbing gym. They are truly comfortable and offer wholly unencumbered movement. We began with nine pairs of gym shorts in 2021, and since then we’ve tested five additional pairs while dropping the weakest entries from our list (this is the “Best of” after all). Our testers get to put each pair to the test, and after 2 months of chalk, sweat, and blood (and maybe a tear or two), they’re ready to weigh in. When the dust settles, we can say for sure these are the best workout shorts on the market. The following list represents gym shorts in a range of categories.

The most common inseam lengths for workout shorts are 5, 7, and 9 inches. Runners often go for a higher hem to minimize material, so they tend to go for the 5-inch inseam.

How I Test Men’s Workout Shorts

If you want to get an idea of the inseam in a new pair of shorts that you’re thinking about investing in, then do the following. Material: Polyester and elastane | Lining options: Lined or unlined | Inseam length: 5 inches, 7 inches, or 9 inches

We’ve built men’s exercise shorts that are tailored to the needs of a wide range of activities. Whether it’s super lightweight jogging shorts for men, gym workout shorts for men, basketball shorts, football shorts or golf shorts - different activities require different materials, construction and design. But in all our men’s fitness shorts, you’ll find the same Under Armour DNA: tough, reliable and innovative. Mobility: How much does a short stretch when training? Is it limiting for certain workouts or activities? Will it be restrictive for certain anatomies?For all-rounders, a classic jersey short will serve you for football practice, jogs, HIIT sessions, stretching, weight lifting and rest days too. From mobility exercises to strength workouts, a little spandex can go a long way when it comes to freedom of motion; (photo/Miya Tsudome) How We Test Gym Shorts For context, I’ve been reviewing men’s workout shorts for years and have spent my fair share of money on shorts that have exceeded my expectations and shorts that have let me down regarding my investment. I buy the products I review to stay objective. Plus, I never have to worry about losing compression liners in the wash or my other clothes. Additionally, not every compression liner waistband works with different shorts, so this helps take the thought out of planning gym outfits.
