Customer Reviews Sweaty Betty Power 7/8 Workout Leggings

These are comfortable and nice but not what I expected from all the hype. Very overpriced for what they are. The fit isn't as supportive as I had hoped and I am frequently pulling them up.

I love sweaty betty leggings and bought these assuming they'd be as fantastic as the others. Unfortunately they're not. I'm a 12-14 and bought the M which is normally a good tight fit but in this style they slide down if I'm doing anything energetic. I'm very sad because the whole high-waisted not sliding down thing feels vital to me.

I have several pairs of Power leggings in size S and they all fit perfectly. This black pair of size S however are very different. The leggings are baggy around the knee and ankle and generally the fabric flimsy. They just look more budget than previous pairs. They also had a very strong smell when they arrived which has not gone after washing. Lastly I had to cut off a few threads which were sticking out of the seams.

I bought these for the gym. I am comparing these to the SB Super Sculpt leggings, which I love / now discontinued. The Power leggings are no good for me. I found the waist rolled down when doing any forward bending movement and mountain climbers. Returned.

I have always been a big fan of the power leggings I own six pairs. I bought a new pair in black and camo in December 2023 and they have started to bobble on the seams and the black ones go baggy behind the knees I have always loved their products but since they have been bought by American Apperal I think the products are going down in quality which is disappointing. but since they have been bought

Having had several pairs of power leggings before I bought a pair in navy. After one gym class the diagonal seams above the knees were badly frayed. I sent them back and have been refunded. This has never been a problem before and I love the fit of them and they are generally my favourites. I was very disappointed and hope it was a one off

These leggings look and feel great but sadly I feel very nervous wearing them as the back seam is already coming undone after only one wear. Maybe they are a faulty pair but it is really disappointing for my first SB legging purchase.

I own a vast quantity of SB power leggings but the latest pair I have in signal red are so ill fitting I can't wear them. What on earth have you done to them??

Quality doesn't seem to be as it was! The fabric is a lot thinner!

Good fit but so many snags after 3 wears. There are so many loose threads from fabric pulls/snags after just 3 wears and one wash (just a normal cycle, as with my GAP leggings that have lasted for years without issues). Really not impressed for the price and I expected much more from Sweaty Betty

I have been happily wearing power leggings for the last 6.5 years. Unfortunately, There has been a noticeable decline in quality in the last year or so. These leggings are marketed as gym leggings. Yet they are no longer squat proof or compressive. The new material is thin and shiny. They bobble quickly. I feel cold wearing them. I have had to replace the leggings only bought 6 months ago. Yet the ones bought in 2020 are still going strong. Disappointing

The fabric and the fit have changed with this style. It's not what it used to be and it's no longer for me.

These leggings have the potential to be fantastic, except that they're SO BIG. Chose a medium based on the size guide, they fit great on first wear, but after a few trips to the gym they are far too loose. I wouldn't recommend specifically because they get so loose.

I have several pairs of these style leggings didn't have a problem until I purchased a plain black pair in my usual size small. After a few months of wearing they have become ridiculously baggy and have no elasticity. The material used with these leggings is inferior quality and definitely not the same as the rest of my SB leggings. Do better Sweaty Betty, cutting corners will cost you customers. I'm already looking at Gym Shark as an alternative

These are the 5th pair of these leggings that I have purchased. Typically they have been spot on. This time I could just about get them on and the ankles were so tight that I felt like I was wearing incredibly tight compression socks. Would have normally returned but as I just pulled off the label and threw them in my kit bag for a gym session felt that I could not return a worn garment. I have not shifted in size and weight since the first purchases.

Super cute and loved them at first but after a couple washings they are losing elasticity / compression, and now I feel like I am constantly pulling them up. Really disappointed.

Already own grey pair of these which I love. Ordered a navy and black pair. Navy ones fine, black pair much higher wasted and sit very uncomfortable. Tags taken off and worn and now stuck with them. For the price of these leggings I would have expected a bit of consistency with the sizing.

I washed these briefly on 30 degrees before wearing as usual. They are my usual size M. Very disappointed as they are baggy and wrinkly around the knee. The fabric is loose. I've been wearing this model for years, but something has changed in the fabric and quality of this purchase. Will not buy again.

I am a big fan of power leggings, it's what made me fall in love with SB all those years ago but they've changed. The material feels plasticky, thick and stiff and they're not as comfortable as my older pairs. I have a few pairs of newer powers and I still always reach for my really old bobbled ones from my drawer.

These were different to the last pair I owned from 3 years ago. Tighter, shinier and felt cheap. I sent them back, disappointed.

I didn't want to write a bad review but as sweaty Betty has not replied to my email this is the only way I can hopefully get a response. I really like these leggings. They fit well and are comfortable and light. Unfortunately the ankle seams frayed on first outing.

I own quite a few pairs of the Power leggings in XS which I purchased a couple of years ago. The waistbands are super stretchy and they don't dig in so feel comfortable for very long periods. I've even been wearing them 6+ months pregnant due to the waistband being that stretchy. However, I've just ordered another pair and the style of them has completely changed. The waistband is thicker with a cord going through it and a zip on the back. These are new features and they have made them far less stretchy than the previous design of Power leggings. I wanted to order more because due to being pregnant but I can't even get this new design past my knees and the waistband is a lot more restrictive.

i find these run smaller. defo squat proof but find you end up with a camels toe ladies.

Worn once and the outer stitching on one of the legs is already start to fray

Too restrictive and not as soft as my previous lovely ones from SB. Very small also compared with others the same size. Disappointed!
