I felt well and truly held in place, without wanting to claw my way out, and loved the classic cut and design. So, with that in mind, I was sceptical about putting another sports bra to the test, yet the SPANX Medium Impact Sports Bra absolutely delivered. Meaning, every time I do a box jump, I'm worried I'll end up flashing half the gym.
They're either too tight and make me feel like I can't breathe, and part way through a workout I'll start panicking I've got Covid again (ah, health anxiety! Don't you just love it?), or aren't supportive enough. actually no, let's call it what it is, an aversion to bras – and that extends to sports bras too. "I have a severe love-hate relationship with bras. In fact, tennis or no tennis, I think it still might be on sunny days where I want to workout in the park or gym." - Jennifer Savin, Features Editor SPANX Medium Impact Sports Bra (tested in a size M) If I were the type to play tennis (I'm not – I was once asked to stop attending a casual badminton doubles tournament at my old office because I was so crap), it would be my summer go-to. I also wore the skort out to dinner with heels and a vest top, as I rated its style prowess so highly. "The shape was incredibly flattering and the high-waisted nature of the garment stayed put throughout crunches, squats and weights (and held my overly bloated-from-burritos stomach in so that I wasn't self-conscious about it). I opted for a size medium, which as a dress size 10/12, fitted perfectly. So much so, I actually wore! it! thrice! in the gym whilst on holiday in Mexico (but alas it's still too cold to don outdoors in the UK at the moment). So I was surprised to fall head over heels for SPANX's Get Moving skort (essentially bike shorts - that don't roll up or budge - hidden under an outer skirt layer). I like wearing them to do yoga from home as they're freeing, and occasionally to run on a very hot day, but that's pretty much it. "Please let it be known first and foremost that I am not a shorts-in-the-gym person. Story continues SPANX Get Moving Skort (tested in a size M) I also felt confident enough to wear them with a jumper for a casual day out, without feeling the need to tie my jumper around my waist, something which felt novel for me! They’re really versatile and because of how soft they are I’ll be wearing them to a yoga class next." - Catriona Innes, Cosmopolitan's Features Director Crucially, when I wore them for my workouts (boxing and weight lifting classes) the waist didn’t roll down during tough moves.
"The Every Wear leggings were so comfortable that I didn’t feel restricted at all. I wish brands had more consistency in their sizing from style to style, it's a problem for so many and is disheartening!). However, the Every Wear leggings fit like a dream (I’m a size 16 to 18 and again, opted for a size XL – but this time it was perfect. "Unfortunately the initial SPANX leggings that I wanted to try out (the Booty Boost leggings) came up too small, despite me ordering the size XL as advised, and therefore I wasn't able to review them. That’s fine for a party or a wedding, but definitely wouldn’t do for working out. "I was slightly hesitant about trying SPANX activewear as I can get really distracted from my workout if a pair of leggings are uncomfortable… and whenever I’ve tried shapewear in the past, I’ve always spent half of my day adjusting it and feeling restricted by the garment.
