Looking for quality new leggings? You’ve come to the right place. As self-confessed addicts of cardio, workout classes, and weightlifting sessions the City A.M. Wellness team have tested our fair share.

We firmly believe that your choice of gym leggings matters. Feeling comfortable leads to better performance. Investing in sports leggings that stay up, don’t go see-through during squats, and complement your shape will boost your confidence and help you excel in your workouts. Here’s the best picks.

Best for… lightweight material

Castore Women’s Reflective Training Leggings are made with lightweight, high-stretch fabric to move with your body – so nothing compromises your performance. The elasticated waist offers a tailored fit to support each movement and ensure agility as you train. Complete with reflective detailing for visibility to keep pushing yourself in low-light settings. The fit of these is true to size and due to the reflective detailing, they are an excellent choice for women who may want to exercise in low-light conditions. Get yours here.
