Customer Reviews Sweaty Betty Power Workout Leggings

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!

Let me just start by saying love love love all my Sweaty Betty shorts and bras. These leggings were SO not what I was hoping for. The issue is that the waist compression panel is only about 4 inches wide, giving support ABOVE the belly button and squishing everything below that down. This massively accentuates the belly area rather than giving me the hold and support I was looking for. So for those looking for tummy support, these are not your friend!!

Usually buy a size S. Always have done in power leggings. This last pair is more like XXS. Such a huge difference in sizing. Had to return them as faulty. Received a replacement but still coming up so much smaller!!

Much thinner than previous power leggings. Quality not as good. Prefer my old pairs. Wont be buying sny more in the future

Was really excited for my first pair of Sweaty Betty leggings as I'd saved up but honestly couldn't be more disappointed. Definitely not something I can wear for a proper work out - they went completely see through when I was lunging and squatting and you could see sweat marks which was just embarrassing. Just really disappointing really. Upside were they looked good before the workout and I like the side pocket.

Have been looking for a decent pair of leggings for running for a while now and wanted to invest in a good quality pair which wouldn't fall down or be see through. Unfortunately, although these leggings fit really well, they were not squat proof and the material felt really thin. I therefore had to return them.

I so loved these - the fit, the style, the pocket - but after wearing them twice the seam on the inner thigh ripped! Very surprised because I felt like they fit well. So, so bummed, especially for the price I paid.

Maybe I'm too used to wearing compression tights, but I find these quite loose and not 'sculpting' as advertised! I have thin calves and they are baggy around the calf. Best bits are the pockets!
