Customer Reviews Sweaty Betty Power Workout Leggings

These are my first pair and I'm very pleased with them. As I'm in the process of losing weight I went with XL vs XXL as I was between sizes and didn't want to not use them after a little weight loss especially at this price! They are still a little tight and subsequently do roll down no the waistband but I expect that will go once I'm a little smaller. But I enjoy the compression feeling, less wobbling :) and the 7/8 length is just above the ankle on me (5'6") which is what I wanted. i shall certainly look for another pair now!

My favourite leggings but sadly this colour was too bright for me!

These leggings are great quality! The thickness is great without feeling heavy, making them squatproof, and the material is nice and soft without piling in the wash. They don't show sweat either which is definitely a bonus! 7/8 length is perfect for my height (5"3) but they do fall down slightly, which is annoying. I'll need to see how they hold up when on a run! Overall a very good legging, but could be improved with a better waist drawstring/waist compression.

I should confess that the Super Sculpts are my favourite leggings, however they are a bit thick and whist PERFECT for Pilates, they can move a bit during rigorous Bootcamp fitness sessions. I assumed that the High-Waisted Powers in my usual SB size M would be the perfect breathable, non-budging alternative but as a classic pear shape, I couldn't get the right fit (tried both S and M). Virtual Personal Shopper, the very real and lovely Camilla, suggested these instead and bingo, they are the solution! They feel very light on the leg which took some getting used to, the seam shapes are slightly less flattering than the Super Sculpts but the waist stays put thanks to the drawstring cord! Love the pockets, side and back, and the breathability. The only snag is that they are not quite as 'high compression' as I would have liked; I have a large wobbly bottom and in these Powers I can feel it moving!

The Power Gym Leggings are very comfy, supportive and the right compression even for track sprints or HIIT exercises. They're also very flattering. They are squat proof so cannot see underwear. I'm a UK 10, 5ft8 with hips and a bum and a size S fits perfectly

These are lovely leggings with pocket for iPhone but you need to go up a size when you order as very tight around waist. I had to send Medium size back and waiting for Large (!) to be in stock as sold out.

Beautiful coloured tights and lovely fabric to wear. When I received them they were a firm fit but noticed after wearing them a little they are a little roomy so I am not sure if I should have sized down to a M. Great pocket on the left leg and zipper pocket on the back which will be great for my long runs in the cooler months.

Great leggings worth the price. Beetle blue are my favourite colour. M=12UK size

From black or patterned to blue. As usual the lovely leggings fitting well. A little bit tighter , hoping this is because of lockdown.

I bought these for running and my keep fit classes. Love them for both! Love that they are high waisted and give a lovely look! And as a bonus I'm not worrying that they're see through and everyone can see my backside! Would defo buy again!

Super comfortable but not as much compression as I had hoped for.

I bought these for running/gym/hiking. They're very comfy and i don't have any awkward see through moments! They are a little large though and need pulling up- I'm normally a size 14 & bought a large.

Looking forward to wearing my new leggings, I have had them before! ! They are so comfy and fit very well.

Have always worn zero gravity leggings from SB but just didn't like any of the new patterns (please bring back the Japanese blossom print!) so decided to try the power leggings. They're still a great fit, really comfortable and are softer than the zero gravity but they don't sculpt to the same extent. They are pretty similar though, if the ZG sculpting is a 10 these are probably an 8!!! Also, the blue mystical floral pattern has little bits of neon peach going through it which you don't really see in the photos, I'm not the biggest fan of anything neon, had thought it would be a softer coral colour but keeping them anyway because I was desperate for workout wear during lockdown! Overall pretty happy with them, the 7/8 length is great, they are squatproof and the waist doesn't fall down.

These are very thick, absolutely squat-proof, extreme holding-you-in leggings. The thickness of the fabric makes them too hot for summer, and the very high waistband does roll down during yoga, but they look extremely smart as a great everyday lounge wear addition or cosy leggings to run in over winter.

I loved these 7/8 leggings as I'm a shorter girl and finding ones that fit me right have been difficult, so these have been my go-to leggings over the past few years. However, I do question the quality of the ones I've bought more recently last year as both of them have holes or the thread is unravelling - which never has happened before. What's happened? These aren't cheap so expecting better quality.

These leggings are ok. I was expecting more for the price. The waist band is not very high, would have preferred it to be higher to feel more secure when exercising.

Good quality, well made, not see through, wash poor

The fit of the leggings is great and the pockets are handy for running but I found they bobbled after a few washes and it makes the quality look cheap when they're expensive.

Sweaty Betty Power leggings have been my go to for a few years now. Great fit every time and they stay put in the gym. But unfortunately the last 2 pairs I've bought have ended up with holes in them pretty soon after purchase. I don't know if they've changed the fabric or manufacturer but they just seem to rip so easily. It's such a shame as they've been my go to

Having ordered power leggings previously, I was hoping to re-stock with some more. However, the fit and length has changed (I have ordered the Embossed and usual Power and both have the same issue). There are not as stretchy as the previous one I purchased and the width of the ankle is very small and tight (I have thin legs and ankles). They are also around 2 inches shorter than my last pair of Power leggings (standard length ordered). I am really disappointed that they have been changed as they were my go-to for walks, sport, etc. I have ordered the all day leggings which are a great fit and very comfortable but not as tough or warm as my old Power ones.

Good fit but I wanted the same thickness as the Super Sculpt and these are thinner material, so had to return

I'm not sure what has changed in these leggings, but they are super tight at the waist now. They give me a muffin top and cut into me. I'm 5'3", athletic and weigh 144lbs. I've always worn size small. I find myself grabbing my Zella leggings over these. The band is just too tight.

One of my favorite workout tops was from this brand, so I wanted to try leggings. I love the lightweight fabric of these leggings. I also appreciated that the waistband stayed right in place during cardio and weight training. Unfortunately, I had fit issues. I am 5'2 and ordered the 7/8 as a full length product. This was fine, but I had significant camel toe issues. I wanted them to perform better for me than they did.

I usally love the power leggings, but the black ones I ordered had really narrow openings at the ankles. I went in store to try a different pair on, but they were similar. Not sure if the material on the black leggings is different or the batch was just cut smaller, but I've got a load of pairs in the same size and this was the only time I've had an issue! I exchanged in store for a grey pair and these are great.
