THE GYM PEOPLE Women's Drawstring Sweat Shorts High Waisted Summer Workout Lounge Shorts with Pockets

Edit Aug 2025 I have since purchased multiple colors of these shorts after the initial pair and I changed my review from 3 to 5 stars. I have not received a damaged pair since. I went down a size in the shorts and I like the fit much better too. No more weird flaring. Yes, the shorts show water stains very prominently but they wash & dry just fine. I love the thick, spongy, stretchy material. They’re super comfy! I also live in a hot summer climate and don’t find they’re not breathable or anything like that. The one thing I do not like is that my iPhone Max is too heavy for the pockets and the tip of the pocket will peak out of the bottom of my leg which is annoying. I wish they were sewn down all the way :/ —— These shorts seem like they’re nice, high quality material and they were very comfy. I liked the length and the soft waistband. & I loved the purple colorway. Unfortunately they didn’t work out for me, the way the pockets are sewn down the side seams made them flare out at the sides on me. I have fairly un-muscular, narrow thighs, & it just looked awkward. Maybe if you are more fit & don’t skip leg day, you will have a better fit than me!

The length is accurate based on the dimensions provided. The shorts are very comfortable, warm and fit as described. Love the color, they go with almost any color T-shirt.

I couldn't have been more pleased with this product. The shorts are thin lightweight but the fabric is sturdy and durable. The fabric is very very soft and comfortable and the fit is flattering. I especially like the high rise waistline and the fact that the pockets don't create a line or bulk underneath the first outer layer. I've worn them at the gym and on hot days and they are very breathable and airy. They don't show sweat marks either. I've washed them with delicates and either hung dry or machine dried on low heat a few times already and they still look good as new. I got a size XS and I'm 5'3" 107 lbs 25" W and 35" H. I love that the fit is just right, as I like to wear them high on my true waistline but don't like shorts to be tight on tummy. Would definitely recommend

Super comfy and cute. Would buy again!!

These are the comfiest shorts ever and for such a great price! I bought them in multiple colors because of how much I love them. The material is very soft, stretchy, and not too thick so they are very breathable for hot summer days. The pockets are nice and deep, which is hard to find on women's shorts. They are perfectly high waisted and easily adjustable with the drawstring, great to throw on for an easy cute pair of shorts.

I usually wear a medium and these felt a bit tight on me but I adore them. The are soft and form fitting. Not see thru at all. No itchy seams. Recommend!

Medium was too small, large was too big. The fabric was comfy and stretchy and I liked the thick waistband, but I had to return both of them. I'm disappointed because I really wanted these to work out, but they just didn't.

I now have these in a few different colors. They are soft and the perfect lounge short. The waist band is structured and comfortable, the length is perfect, and they run TTS. I have the Varleys and while Varley is just slightly softer, I honestly prefer the shape and structure of these better. And I can buy multiple for the price of Varley!

These shorts are soft and comfortable, I like the drawstring that make I easier.

These shorts are very comfortable and super soft. True to size. Thank you!

Much larger and thicker material than expected.

Soft and comfy! I'm 5'7" and 130 lbs and ordered pink in size small. Perfect fit! They are just what I wanted. Not too thick or thin. Seems like they're good quality. I'll probably order more in other colours.

Purchased a sized medium in the heather white. This colour is little bit see-through but matching underwear should help. The medium is also a little too big for me, I could’ve purchased a small (I’m usually a medium) but it’s ok since it has a drawstring anyway. Overall cute and comfy.
