Customer Reviews Sweaty Betty Power Workout Leggings

I have these leggings in blue and love them, but I just bought them in black and the material feels different (cheaper) and have slightly ripped across the thigh on the first wear (same size as the blue pair). Possibly a manufacturing issue? Not the quality I expect from SB - and for the price paid.

I had a pair of leggings from about 4 years ago that are still in good condition but since buying the same leggings a year later and up until December 2022 they are constantly getting holes in the seams. I don't know what's happened but I'm disappointed that all the later ones I have bought (x4) have holes either on the seams of the legs, bum or crotch awkward when squatting. What happened? They used to be my go to but feel I need to look for another brand as I didn't mind paying the prices if they lasted 4+years but not worth it now if they don't even last a few months I'm sorry to say.

I bought my first pair of power leggings about 4 years ago and wore them to death. When it came time to replace them, I knew I wanted to order the same pair again since I loved them so much. Well, I'm not sure what has changed in those years, but these leggings don't feel the same and they're much shorter. There used to be extra fabric at my ankles, but now these leggings are so short they don't even come close to my ankle. The fabric feels different too. Too bad, I really loved those original SB leggings.

I'm a bit disappointed as I am a small size 10 and yet I find the size small give me a tummy ache as they are too tight around my stomach. I've found them quite uncomfortable to wear for hiking etc. I know they look great on but can't wear them for long.

These were the original leggings I brought years ago - and loved. Infact those ones are still going strong. For some silly reason I also brought the high waisted ones along the line. However, I've come to the realisation that these are in in fact the OG. The high waisted are now at the back of my wardrobe. The originals are comfy, secure, flattering and just feel good all round. I'm a medium and a size 12

Quality has gone down. I have numerous pairs of power leggings from a few years ago. I was surprised when I got these as the quality is nowhere near what it used to be. The fabric is half as thick and I actually am cold wearing them. Really disappointed that price hasn't changed but you're using thinner fabric. I'd rather pay a bit more for the quality you used to get.

I like the pocket location and construction, but the material is thin.

I have been a massive SB fan for many years, in particularly Power leggings. Unfortunately the quality of these leggings is no where near to what it used to be, the material is thinner & is definitely not the same quality. It's very sad that they've sacrificed the quality of their clothing. I think Lululemon's leggings are a better option now.

Great for wearing casually, but kept falling down when I went running in them which I was disappointed with.

These have been my fav leggings & a reliable staple for me. Just purchased another pair, same size, colour & length & they are so so snug I can hardly pull them up over my bum! What has happened? A change in design? Or a fabric change? Why change a vest seller that do many women rely on? Bring out new stuff but please don't change our staples!

I bought a pair of navy blue tights during black week, ordered s. I am a size 8 and felt the tights were a bit too large. Ordered xs and the fitting was better. I ordered in January a pair in ultra black camouflage print from another retailer, who stocks Sweaty Beatty products. The material was stiffer, like scuba fabric and it was easier to pull up. I suspect it was an older batch that I received. Not bad, considering others have complained about the new fitting. Just because you cut the tights narrower on the lower legs, it does not mean you will experience compression. If you are trying to save money on the material and charge customers the same price, it will not bode well. Be aware that there are other manufacturers to buy from. There are a variety of prints which is a plus.

I own multiple pairs of darker powers, these were my first bright or lighter colour pair. When they arrived I loved the colour, however these are constructed differently. From the knee downwards, the fabric is double thickness (I assume to prevent them being see through)This makes them incredibly narrow at the foot to get on, and the under layer of fabric wrinkles underneath when on. I spent a while trying to smooth it down but gave up. The waistband was also larger than all my other powers. Sent them back unfortunately.

I love Sweaty Betty leggings but not these for me! Think it was the colour. Not to worry ordered others which are great!

Although I love the colour and the quality, these leggings are not as long as previous 'full-length' SB leggings I've bought. I'm 5'5" and these hover just above my ankle - disappointingly 2" shorter than my old ones.

Bought these after years of wanting them but was disappointed as they are very see through . I teach Pilates an need them not to be see through so for this reason I don't think I'll be buying them again . Always buy Xs in my leggings maybe if I sized up in these they would not be so see through !

I have so many pairs of these and love them. I am usually a size small but decided to buy a medium for longer activities such as hiking. It's nice to have them a bit looser for hiking. I decided on the plain black and the sizing is way off. I bought a medium and it was a smaller than a small patterned power legging. I returned them and was told plain black does come up smaller so be warned.

Absolutely loved these leggings at first. I've bought previously in other colours. Unfortunately after washing a few times they've gone baggy at the knee. The seam down the front has gone bitty and rubbed up. Not sure if you've changed the material? Definitely need to be made seamless!

I have 2 other pairs and 2 pairs of shorts but unfortunately this pair I have worn only once and they are fraying on both inside leg.. very disappointing

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.
