The active-wear brand’s popular Adapt Fleck leggings have just launched in a gorgeous pink colourway, alongside a range of other styles
The gym girls and goers amongst us will know that working up the motivation for a tough workout can be made infinitely better by wearing a cute, matching activewear set. It not only leaves us looking put together, but when it does this and offers us incredible support and sculpting, it’s a winning combination.
Gymshark is one brand whose gear is renowned for marrying performance and aesthetic. Its latest launch is perfect for those of us who want to branch out into vibrant, colourful pieces – especially with summer on the horizon. Celebrating a romantic, feminine, delicate and striking hue that had us obsessed circa July 2023, a series of pink pieces has landed on Gymshark’s website and it’s safe to say we’re in love.
And we’re not just talking pieces that women will want to wear to a gentle yoga class or brunch. These new pink items are available in the brand’s best-selling designs that can withstand weightbearing squats, HIIT workouts, spin class, cirucits – to name just a few. For example, its Adapt Fleck x Whitney Leggings (£50), which a number of shoppers called to have in ‘more colours’.
A new addition on top of the other 10 colourways, these pink leggings are available in sizes XXS to XXL, although it’s important to note that some shoppers have shared that the sizing is a little ‘off’, with some reviews encouraging others to ‘size up’ due to their ‘tight’ fit.
Made from a durable, sweat-wicking fabric, shoppers are praising the leggings for being ‘squat proof and moisture friendly’ – not to mention thick enough to not need seam-free underwear – unheard of in lighter leggings, typically. One user noted: “My favourite leggings. Non-see-through, comfortable, good looking, sculpting.”

Gymshark has introduced a range of new pink colourways in some of its best activewear pieces, including the Adapt Fleck x Whitney Leggings.
Meanwhile another added: “These are so great. I didn’t even need to wear seam free underwear with these. Squat proof and moisture friendly. Probably one of the best pair of leggings I have ever owned! I just wish they had more colour options.”
The leggings, which are a gorgeous bubblegum pink, come with a thick supportive ribbed waistband that locks us into the workout and is both flattering and practical – ie, won’t fall down during squats or burpees.
Meanwhile its all-over fleck pattern adds a bit of playful flair. Although for those who’d rather a more muted hue and plain design, H&M’s Sports leggings with SoftMove™ are an alternative that offer similar support on the waistband and are currently on sale for £21.
One thing that many people may appreciate is that it doesn’t feature that ‘bum scrunch’ seam that many sports leggings have. While this detail is often for enhancing the bum area, it can make the fabric a little more delicate, with some people experiencing tears as a result – although I’ve not had this with designs like the TALA Sculpt Seamless Scrunch Legging, £54, personally.
Paired with the brand’s Adapt Fleck x Whitney Tank With Shelf, £35, it makes a gorgeous two piece set that can handle even the sweatiest of workouts.
This new pink drop offers designs in a range of shades too, from bubblegum pink to a more hot pink style as well as a patterned style that enhances the figure – and it seems Gymshark fans are ‘obsessed’ with this new ‘pink glow up’.
Announcing the new range on Instagram, the brand posted a series of images showcasing these gorgeous pieces, and its comments soon filled up with messages of adoration.
One read: “So obsessed with this pink,” with another noting: “Pink all day every day.” Someone else remarked: “Pink on pink is just so perfect!”
We couldn’t agree more, and have shared below just a few of our favourite new pieces from the drop.
Pink Crossover 2-in-1 Shorts – £38
These shorts are a great option for a range of activities, from Pilates to weights to running to errands to the shop (with an oversized graphic tee). Crafted with a 2-in-1 design, it features body-fit inner shorts that are layered with floaty, lightweight outer shorts. It marries the perfect compression of a cycle style with the breezy confidence of a runner and offers a bit of extra coverage whilst still acheiving that leg-lengthening shorts aesthetic.
They feature a slight V-shaped waistband that promises to stay put and what looks to be buttery-soft fabric that should survive even the most gruelling leg days.
What the Gymshark shorts don’t seem to have is a pocket – something many workout lovers, especially come summer, would prefer to have – and is the only drawback we can see so far.
Apex Seamless Strappy Sports Bra and Seamless Shorts– £45 and £48
This is such a fun two-piece set that not only comes in pink, but also green, blue and grey. Decorated in ‘physique-shaping jacquard lines’, which are a darker pink that the overall colourway, the sports bra features a double layered design that not only delivers additional support, but also texture and interest.
As is the case with all Gymshark gear, its material is sweat-wicking and breathable (I can attest to this as I own a plethora of Gymshark pieces, such as its Interval Seamless Midi Tank, £35, and have left the gym without a hint of sweat on my clothes – despite it being a tough session).
With a double cross back, the sports bra looks to give ample support to the chest, too. Its matching shorts have a mirroring design and are designed with a V-shaped waistband the cinch in the tummy and enhance the glutes.
Shoppers who have already snapped up the shorts in its alternative colourways have been thoroughly impressed with their performance, with one person remarking: “Wore these shorts for a 10k! Not only were they comfortable, they stayed in place the whole time I ran!”
Someone else noted: “Literally the comfiest Gymshark shorts I’ve ever worn. Not only is it seamless, it’s also very thin and lightweight making it super comfortable. Perfect for running, cycling and lifting. The design is also very cool!”
Everyday Seamless Ribbed Tank – £25
Made from soft seamless fabric, this ribbed tank top contours to the body for a flattering fit and is lightweight and stretchy for optimum comfort. Reported to feel like a ‘second skin’, it’s a gym ‘staple’ that has a racer back shape, deep V neckline and appears to have an additional bust support panel.
Hailed for being the perfect length – ‘not too cropped and not too long’ – shoppers love that it offers compression without being too constricting, as stated by one five star review, which read: “Comfy and extremely flattering. Provides some compression without being too tight, and it’s not see through. I’d say it falls slightly longer than a cropped tank.”
That said, some people experiened it rolling up at the bottom, so keep this in mind when embarking on an intense workout where more dynamic movements are done when wearing this top.
