It depends on how you train. For hybrid workouts that combine strength, running and HIIT, look for a high-rise waistband that stays put, squat-proof fabric and anti-chafe seams. Compression should support without restricting, and pockets should actually hold your phone. Our In Tempo range is built around all of that. Hard sessions sorted.

For most women, yes. A high-rise waistband sits securely through squats and lunges without rolling down mid-session. It also gives more coverage where you need it most. High-waisted styles stay put whether you're lifting, running or moving through circuits. The waistband that never needs adjusting.

They should feel supportive but never restrictive. Compression shorts should feel snug through movement but comfortable at rest. If you're adjusting mid-squat or pulling them down during lunges, they're too tight. Size up. Our CompressLuxe Eco fabric feels firm and supportive without holding you back. Cool to the touch and moves with your body.

Start with compression. High-intensity training needs fabric that moves with you, keeps you cool and holds its shape through every rep. CompressLuxe Eco delivers firm support with breathable, sweat-wicking performance. Prefer a lighter feel? Our woven styles give you freedom of movement without compression.

Not always, but it helps. Compression reduces muscle fatigue, supports movement and minimises chafing during high-intensity sessions. That makes a real difference in HIIT and running where repetitive movement creates friction. If you prefer a lighter feel, woven styles give you freedom without compression. Try both and see what your body prefers.

Ride-up usually comes down to length. An 18 cm inseam offers extra thigh coverage that reduces movement during squats, lunges and dynamic sessions. A high-rise waistband and stay-put hem do the rest, keeping everything in place from warm-up to final rep. Our training shorts are designed with all three.
