WODs, footy training, HIIT sessions and weight training are no joke. And neither are our active performance shorts. As far as men’s workout shorts go, they leave nothing up to chance, giving you the stretch, airflow, style, odour-control, moisture-wicking and other features you didn’t even know you were missing until now.

Men’s Workout & Gym Shorts With Pockets

Even if you have a locker at the gym or locker room, you still need somewhere to put the key. This is why we’ve added invisible pockets to our training shorts so you have a place for your essentials. Now you have somewhere to put your keys, phone, card or whatever you need while you work out.

Anti-Bacterial Training Shorts

Workouts get sweaty. And sweat can get a little pongy at times. With added anti-bacterial treatment, our guys’ athletic shorts help keep you cool, dry and the odours away. There’s extra ventilation too, so you can get some fresh air where it matters while you run, lift or do whatever you’re doing. 

FAQs

What is antimicrobial athletic clothing?

Antimicrobial athletic clothing uses materials that have been treated or made to help slow down the growth of bacteria that can increase odour. The aim is to help keep your training shorts, pants and active tops fresher for longer, especially when you work up a sweat. 

What length men’s workout shorts are best?

The best length for men’s workout shorts depends on how you train and how much coverage you like to have. Shorter shorts can give you more room to move, while longer styles can feel a bit better for lifting, walking or even for wear outside of the gym.

How should men’s workout shorts fit?

You want your men’s workout shorts to fit securely at the waist without digging in or sliding down. They also need to give you enough room in the leg area to let you squat, stretch and move without pulling or bunching up, which can get in the way. 

Are I Love Ugly active performance shorts lined?

Our standard 5-inch and 7-inch active shorts are not currently lined. Some of our selected running-style shorts have an integrated underwear liner, so check the product features before you order if that’s a feature you’re specifically looking for.

Do active performance shorts have zipped pockets?

Some styles do and some don’t. Selected styles have a zipped side pocket and concealed centre-back pocket, with pocket placement differing between designs. Check the product descriptions to confirm which features are included for each style.
