petite workout clothes - reviews

So comfortable!
Bought this for tennis and I love playing in it. Lots of compliments on the Kelly green, tho I would call it more olive in hue. Usually wear a 2 petite (5' 2", 107 lbs, 34C bra), so this is a bit too long. Fit is extremely comfortable; no binding, not too revealing, and you don't have to wrestle with it to take it off as you do with most fitted, built in support tops.

I bought this as a workout top but I think it makes a better cycling top. The fabric is substantial enough that it doesn't show every bump and bulge. The neckline is high enough that I don't give a peep show when bending over the handlebars. The pockets work great for carrying a cell phone and a couple of GU packets. I'm long waisted but this top is plenty long enough. As a bonus, my husband, without prompting, said it was cute :) I'm 5'4" and and a muscular 140 pounds with a 34B chest. The medium fit me perfectly.

Nice top
Nice fit, great purple color and not too tight in stomach. Loved it for my workout.

Great plus size workout ...
Yay for Athleta! Finally a company that has cool workout ... plus sized women in great colors. The PR top is great for my daily gym workouts and I look forward to trying your other plus sized tops as well. Thanks so much for energizing my workout!

Good running top, but not great
When I first put this on, I wasn't sure whether I would keep it or not. It's tight on the front, but loose on the sides (I know that sounds weird. a little bit extra material on the sides). I'm a 32 C and I didn't feel the great support I would from a sports bra. I bought it because I wanted a shirt with pockets to use during my marathon. I'm going to keep it, but not use it for my marathon. It'll be better on shorter runs or workout videos. I really LOVE the side pockets. My iPhone fit in it just fine without falling out.

I wish this tank was available in Petite
I bought this tank to use mainly for yoga and rock climbing because it seemed like it would be supportive, stay put, and not be too revealing. And it was almost perfect. However, at my curvy short stature (5'4", 160lbs), the shoulder straps of the Large were too long. The rest of the tank fit great. If the straps were a couple inches shorter, I would have bought 5 more. On the up side, the fabric is nice and thick and the cut is great- doesn't get in the way and won't show off your chest in down dog to some stranger in the row behind you- that is if the straps fit your body. Petite please?

Can''t hide it in this shirt!
I am pleased with the PR Tank, got in in white and plan to get another color today. My only reccomendation is - make sure you aren't trying to hide anything in the abs region, because if you are this shirt isn't for you - form fitting tank is very flattering. The support is mimimual for me but there is just enough room to fit a sports bra underneath for some extra support. I am 5'3" 135 lbs 36C and the medium petite was perfect! Only complaint from me is the tank is sorta pricey for my taste.

i wish Athleta would class cup sizes for its fitted tops like this one
I really wish Athleta would include a range of ideal cup sizes for each of its fitted tops (for example, based on the other reviews here, this tank might rate as "fits B C cups best"- it's apparently not for either small or large breasted women)....cuz it's nearly impossible to tell how they will fit from the photos, and the return postage sure adds up. I am petite- 5'1"- but have a 36D bust, and find that many of athleta's fitted tops/dresses in my size (medium/10) are too small and/or too flattening in the bust. Too bad, because i'd love them if they would just fit! This one is an example- the medium is far too tight in the bust, causing my bazoomies to flatten AND spill out the sides, as well as there being a ripple at center neckline seam. Because i love the color and style of this top, i am going to try the Large, but generally larges are too long/large elsewhere, since i'm petite.I know Athleta can't help that we're all different shapes, but it WOULD help if they had a rating system for tops like they do for the "rise" on pants...

Plenty long but WAY too tight in the chest
I ordered this PR tank in the size I should wear according to the size charts. The elastic band on the bottom of the bra was so tight, I could barely get it on or off, let alone breath. I was really dissappointed considering these tanks come in Tall - Tall workout clothes are hard to find. The color was beautiful and the quality was really nice but I recommend ordering one size up since the bottom band on the bra runs so small.

Sausage Casing
Sadly, this tank is going back. The Petunia Pop color is beautiful and the bra top fits perfectly and provides ample support for high impact exercise. I love this top from the rib cage up. I'm 5'3" 121 lb and ordered the small. This top is waaayyyyy too long for me. It is a very skinny top that hits mid thigh on me. The effect is a long and skinny sausage casing that shows every bump and curve. I have tried shorts, capri tights, and a skort on with the top and can't find a bottom that works at all. In each case, the waistband/drawstring are clearly visible (and unflattering) through the shirt. I'm a pretty fit person and feel confident in most Athleta workout clothes... but this one makes me feel like I need to lose another 15-20 lb.

Not quite what I expected
I was really excited to get this top in the mail. I am petite and the length of the top was a couple inches too long. I fold the bottom of the top up when I wear it. I also wear a sports bra underneath because I get an odd gap at the top when I wear the top. I wish I had been able to order an extra small. Athleta tends to gear their tops for women with larger chests.

petite workout clothes - reviews

Great ...
This ... supportive and looks fantastic! I got stopped by an employee at the airport because she wanted to know where I bought such a beautiful workout ... I'm a 36B and size Medium fits perfectly with lots of support. Love that the inside bra liner is a beautiful lime green.

Awesome Tank!
I just got this tank and I really love it. I am petite 5'3 108 32D's. I bought an XS. This tank is flattering, supportive, and comfortable. I love that I don't need a sports bra under it and it has perfect coverage...I'm not hanging out up top:). I love it for the gym. The only time I won't be wearing it is to run outside in summertime heat because it is too thick and may be too hot for me. I will oder more colors in this perfect tank.

Very flattering.
Athleta workout ... best. I especially love the Switchback. Some pluses: interesting back detail, lining in the shelf bra conceals "dots", higher neckline is more descrete, the goring at the sides adds shape at the waist & is very flattering. I can't think of any minuses unless you are very large busted. This ... probably best for B C cups. I also like the fact that there are no removable pads in this ... Those tend to be a pain when laundering. After a couple of washings this ... looks great!

My go to shirt
This is my go to workout shirt. I just bought the navy blue one and it's very pretty. I use it primarily when I'm lifting weights, but it's good for yoga or basic aerobic classes.

The best workout top ever!
I am a 36D to DD and find that this top fits great and provides necessary support for a gym workout. I like that the ... has coverage on the front so I don't have to worry about being too "revealing". I can easily wear this as a stand alone ... summer. I ordered a large as I do not like super tight clothes and found that it is not too tight on the waist, so it is flattering to those of us who do not have washboard stomachs. It is the most comfortable athletic ... have ever owned. I am ordering another tonight.

Pleasantly surprised
I'm 5'2, petite build, w/a short torso (most workout tops are too long) and I rock a D cup. (yeah, I said it!) I was impressed by the "sturdy" bra in this shirt. I wore the Black Heather number (size XS) to Pilates, followed by medium impact miles on the Elliptical and treadmill. I didn't notice much bounce at all. The keyhole in the back looks fantastic and doesn't reduce the bra's support. The length of the top was perfect! A few quick negatives to consider: It reveals a bit of cleavage when bending over. (There are a few older guys at my gym who might be happy to confirm this.) The material is snug (but not tight) around the waist. If you're self conscious about a little bit of extra tummy, you might feel uncomfortable in this top.

my favorite yoga top
I have purchased many yoga/workout tops from Athleta and this one is by far my favorite. It is easy to put on (some can be a workout just to get on!), fits great, and is so comfortable. I could wear it every day. I am definitely going to purchase a couple more.

Nice workout top, order a size down
I previously bought this top in blue, and when I saw it on sale I bought another in charcoal gray. The material is comfortable and the style is attractive. I normally wear a medium in other exercise shirts, but I read the reviews and ordered a small. I am a 36C and although the small is snug to put on, the medium would be too loose to provide support during a medium to high impact workout. If you want to wear this for a workout with any impact, make sure the fit is snug to avoid bounce.

More support than expected
I'm a 34DD, and very petite at 4'11". I bought a small. The fabric is thicker than I expected, which is good for modesty, but bad for the intended use (hot Bikram yoga). I end up rolling the shirt up to give my tummy some air (it's also VERY long on me). The built in bra is better than I expected. Perfect for yoga. Definitely was NOT enough support for my spinning class (bounce bounce bounce ow, and ew). Despite the "better than expected" support, ladies, if you're bigger chested like me, you WILL have cleavage, and plenty of it. I bet that "modest neckline" business only applies to average and small gals. I like the top, I'm keeping it for yoga (and maybe it'll be perfect when I try non hot yoga). I might try pairing it with a sports bra for spinning. But in general, the fit is nice and the support is good, and I bet for a more normal proportioned woman, it will be great. I'm giving it 3 stars because it wasn't great for me. Adequate.

Not living up to potential
The description said no more peek a boos when bending over, but I'm still showing too much skin to my class. I'm petite, 5'2'' and a 34C. If this top was one inch higher on the neckline, I think it would do the trick to concealing my cleavage. I'll still wear the top but after today's workout, it may be best to wear a low impact bra underneath. Otherwise, I like the fit. The midsection isn't fitted; it creates a little A line which is fine by me. I guess the only way to stay modest in class is to get a top that goes all the way to the neck.

Problems with "returns anytime."
Top was beautiful. Loved the color. I am petite and found top too long so it bunched around the waist. Also, why are these tops so tight at the waist to show and highlight the fat roll middle aged women have? Had to send it back. No "free shipping" return label was in the package and when I tried to print it out from website, it wouldn't print. Called 3 times spending 40 minutes trying to get a label. Never got an email (though I get promotional emails) with the label after several tries. Supposedly Athleta is sending it by mail this week. So far no label to mail back returns. Will not order anything again.

Great shirt
I love this for the gym and own it in 4 different patterns/colors. Good coverage around the underarms, but shows off all your hard work! Enough coverage to run errands in after a workout.

I''d like three more!
Love this tank! I'm a 36D and for a tank to fit my bustline it's usually too big around the torso and way too long..but not this tank. it fit my bust perfectly without puckering around the armpits. It skimmed my torso (no cling OR balloon) Also, none of your ... come in petite so i usually have to fork out another $15 bucks for altering the length..but not with this gem. The length hit me at the most flattering point, mid lower belly pooch. Too high and the pooch is exposed, too low and the pooch is hugged and accentuated! This tank is great! I got the magenta gothic and will be ordering a couple more. I wish there were MORE colors and prints!!!

I did not like this at all and returned it. I am 105 lbs and a 34 C so I ordered a small and it was huge every where. I usually wear a small or xsmall in workout ... Maybe the xs would have been better, but there were so many other things I didn't like about it so I just returned it. It does not look feminine at all, very boyish, thick, and bulky. There is nothing special looking about it, very boring.

love it
I have been searching for a running jacket for years. Finally purchased this one and LOVE it. I ran this morning in below 20 degree weather and was not cold. There was a slight wind and for the first time, I did not feel like it was blowing through ... clothes and or like I was running in a sauna. The vents work. Not a fan of the thumb holes - too cold to run without gloves right now, ... might be nice when it is a bit warmer out. I just push them and it adds another layer of protection for ... arms. well worth the money!

Cute and Unique
This jacket really has style. I like it and am looking forward to using it as the weather cools. The measurements indicate I should get a M, ... looked a bit form ... so I took a ... up. The L ... well and doesn't look too big; makes me wonder if the M would have been too small. I wanted something I could wear over regular clothes on ... way to work in the morning and then to from Yoga after work. The L ... bill. I am 5'6" and 138lbs. (most of the weight is in hips and thighs, although I have large lats in ... back due to kickboxing).

perfect wardrobe addition!
I needed that 'athletic jacket' to go over yoga/pilates/walking outfits, and this has been perfect. The breathable flaps in back have been a blessing even on cold morning walks in the Midwest. I also appreciate the thumb holes to keep the jacket in place with or without gloves. No more bulky jacket over sleek exercise clothes! Any baseball cap makes it a complete 'go to' or 'do anything' jacket!

Right idea....needs more work
This jacket is comfortable to move in. It will keep the snow and rain off of your core. I have run in it in temperatires ranging from 0 degrees to 40 degrees. I have run in it in blizzards and in rain storms. Not much needs to be layered underneath due to the fact that it enables your core to warm up very quickly. The wind does not penetrate it much either. The areas that need work are the following: breathability, zipper function, and wider rear pocket with some dividers. The jacket does not dry fast and you body healy builds up mositure that gets trapped in the fabric and on your inside layers. Once you stop moving, you better be close to the warmth of inside and dry clothes! The zippers snag easily. The second time wearing it the zipper on ... right front pocket stopped working properly. The rear pocket could be bigger and with a divider in it to keep gel bottles and gear from jiggling around.

petite workout clothes - reviews

Love this skirt to workout in and play tennis. The fit is great!

Great skirt but runs large
Per the other reviews on this skort, it runs just a tad large, so I returned my XS for an XXS, which fit perfectly. I'm a petite 5.0" and slim but with muscular legs. I'm wearing this for tennis and got several compliments on it already. The shorts fit comfortably, but are a bit tight when you try to put a tennis ball under the elastic at the bottom. I would also wear this during the summer for any outdoor activity, as they make my legs look great!

Flirty and comfy
I love the flirty look of this skirt, the undershorts are a great length too so they don't creep up as much as other workout skorts I own. The purple color is fantastic and the ruffled fabric super sleek. Makes me feel festive when I am off to get sweaty!

Favorite workout skirt ever!
I first bought this skirt last year (2011) in black and loved it so much that I immediately went on line to purchase it in more colors and it was completely out of stock! Fortunately it is back again this year and I secured it in other colors. Yeah! I am 5' 3" and 118 pounds and the XS fits perfectly. I thought I would need a small, but the skirt seems to run bigger than normal. The XS was perfect! This skirt is completely unique and very flattering on. It has a couple of layers of material with an adorable shape to the bottom layered edge. I use this skirt for running, hiking, the gym, tennis and pickelball. The material is lightweight and the shorts underneath are mesh so you stay dry when you workout. Get it while you can!

Love it!!
I read other reviews about the length of this skort and I didn't want it to be too short so I ordered it in a S tall. I'm only 63" and normally wear petites. I really like the fit of the S tall, though. The waist is still a little big, but it's not as big as a S petite or S regular so that's a plus. I like the length. It hits about 3" above my knee. I have muscular legs and I'm not normally comfortable with shorter spandex shorts because of the elastic on the thigh, but the liner for this skort is very comfortable. I love the way it looks so I ordered it in the parachute color as well. I thought about ordering an XS in the parachute to compare, but I decided to stay with the S tall.

RE: Adorable!
I just received this skirt and it is absolutely adorable!! I also ordered the black top to go with it. It will be my go to skirt all summer long. Not only can you workout in it, but it is also perfect for everyday lounging around. The ruffles make it so appealing too! The skirt fit true to size and was a perfect length for me- midway on thigh.

Super cute, flirty skort
I love the ruffles on this skort - it's cute and flirty, but still discreet with the inner shorts. Being petite, it's not too short on me so I would wear this out as casual wear too. I got it in blue - it's a pretty deep turquise shade and the fabric is soft and stretchy. I would wear this for jogging, tennis and even cycling.

Ummmm..... WOW!!!!
I feel amazing in this skirt. It's a show stopper in hot pink. totally worth full price. I am a size 4 petite and I ordered an XS and it fit perfect. The ruffles are fantastic. They lay flat but look awesome when you're moving. Buy one before they sell out of your size. These will NOT make it to the sale page. GUARANTEED. (except maybe for a few odd sizes)

Thin fabric & a little long if you are petite
I love the layed look that adds some style to this run skirt without being too girly. First I ordered black but it was hard to see the depth of the detail on the black one, so I exchanged for white. The white is definately going back. the fabric is really thin, especially for white. it's lined with the boy shorts for modesty below, but there was no lining in the portion that sits above the top ruffle which created a somewhat see through effect. it was not flattering. I would stick with the darker colors. My debate is whether or not to exchange for the purple blue or pink or just return. I am 5'2' 120 lb with athletic build. I normally wear a 2/4 in pants/dresses & XS petite in athleta pants. the skirt fit around the waist, but it was very long on me, especially in the back, compared to a couple other high end athletic apparel brands. I think the length in the back makes it almost questionable if I am wearing a miniskirt or a workout skirt. Still undecided.

pretty skirt
Ok initially I decided this skirt would be good for running...but I'm going to have to take back that advice. The layers of the skirt are light and feel good but the under short is uncomfortable for long distances. First, for running this skirt should have a liner. The fabric of the short is rough and just walking in it proved difficult. This skort must be paired with a light weight panty. I ran 7 miles in this skort and noticed the shorts tend to ride way up causing chafing in the creases of the groin area. I would like this item for running much more if the under short had a combination short/liner and if the shorts stayed in place. I will still wear the skort for gym workout but definitely not for running. Thanks again!

Cute but not for working out
A little longer than I expected (I'm 5'6" and bought the size small). I did like the fabric but would use it for tennis before running as pictured in the catalog. Also, I don't know if I got a reject or it was just missed in the description, but it was assymetrical on one side. It looks more like a throwback to the 80's rather than workout gear.

petite workout clothes - reviews

Nice ...
Like these ... nice looking, and comfortable! I'm 5'4", 137 #, ordered the medium asphault and probably should've ordered the small. They do not offer this ... petite, so the rise is high for my frame.

Love these!
I haven't worn workout ... years because I can't find any that fit. I have a pear shaped body; small waist and big hips. I normally wear an 8, so I got the medium. I read the reviews that they were loose fitting, so that is why I bought them. I was skeptical they'd fit even as I was opening the package. They fit perfectly and are flattering to my heavy bottom! I am thrilled and will probably order another pair.

Great!
So lightweight, would love to have in every color. Im petite and the XS was perfect!

Great workout & travel ...
I love the Hana run ... own them in 4 colors. The basic black is nothing that stands out, just great quality and comfort. But, the other colors always get noticed. I get lots of compliments on them, especially the gem blue, They look great with all of my workout ... so comfortable. I love to wear them around town and they're easy to pack for traveling as well. Great ...

Best running ... ever!
I just ran in these ... today for the first time, and I absolutely love them. I got an XXS for my petite, 5'2", 104lb frame and it is like the ... were sewed for me. I have such a hard time finding clothes that are small enough, yet not slickeddown tight. These are flowy, and cool, and the waistband is tight without being noticeabley tight, if that makes sense. AND they come in cute colors!! Once again, Athleta, I heart you!

Perfect Running ...
This really makes the backside look trim just by the way the ... cut. The fabric is silky and great quality! No problems with it creeping up and the mesh undies inside make it a breeze to wear. I have a butt which I like to "downsize" a bit on my petite 5'3 frame. Will likely buy another pair! Totally worth price, which for athleta is very reasonable! Both my sister and I rave about this product.

Finally found the ONE!!
I'm 5' 9" 1/2. Petite frame but muscular. So I'm a very athletic girl who plaid volleyball and now swim, just added running so I have muscular legs so if ... sqeeze at all around my thigh area I tend to get a "thunder thigh" affect. I could live in the Hannah run ... EVERY other pair of run ... I've tried adidas, nike etc. it doesn't matter! They ALL ride up, sit too low and make me look even taller(not in a good way) than I already am. Other brands are made too ... hug just enough around my upper thighs that cause me to have a thunder thigh look. At least to me they do and since I'm the one wearing them, that's who matters! The Hannah run ... sooooooo comfortable! No riding up, inner ... fits well, they don't do any hugging and move wonderfully. There is no sqeezing around the waist. The color is very light blue but looks great!! I hope Athleta doesn't change these short(except the tie around waist. Just not needed.)

Great Buy
These ... great for running or gym workout. They are a little longer than typical running ... which I think makes them more flattering and flexible for running a few errands after gym time. Great buy!

Great running ...
I got this in both M and S, but I am sending back the small. I like wearing them a little longer and baggy. I am 125lbs and 5'1". I have petite athletic build. Both sizes were fine, i just like more coverage than less.

Cute running ... but a little poofy around the white stripe that is up by the waist. I like the material and color (purple). Ordered a small (I generally wear 4 petite or smalls).

Good, but...
I run in the blistering heat of north Florida and I expect my ... go the distance with me. These ... fit really comfortably and have a nice, light liner with a handy key pocket. my issue with these ... they hold the sweat and start to bunch up between my thighs as I rack up the miles. I am a petite person and don't have especially large legs. I find it embarrassing and uncomfortable to keep having to pull my ... down between my legs. Yes, cheaper ... like the Champion brand sold by [...] are not nearly as soft, but stiff fabric holds it shape and does not ride up. These are expensive ... should perform better for the money.

FUSION A++ as Bermuda ...
... great as ... if you like ... like the Bettona ... well. GREAT PICK, A+ will probably buy another pair! Having the pockets on the back is great! You can wear ... errands and not feel like you are running around in your gym clothes, THANKS ATHLETA WELL DONE!

Best yoga/dance ...
I love these ... Even at the price, I will surely buy more because I just do not find ... like very often and I could live in these in warm weather. I dance, teach yoga and pilates, and would wear these for all three and just around town running errands. (I pretty much live in ... clothes.) I wear a ... 6 in pants normally and ordered the medium since other reviewers said ... run small, and I'd agree because the medium seems to ... great (where I have the Bettona Bermuda from Athleta in a small). These do ... looser than the Bettona, though. I like the little pocket flaps on the back and don't really think ... add anything to your butt as others have said. (I do have a larger butt, too, compared to ... waist ... maybe I have just come to appreciate showing off ... curves.) If you want to look like you have a flat rear, probably not for you, ... if you like to show off curves (or are trying to create curves where you have little), probably a good choice!

Love the back pockets!
Wish ... had a string too. I like the fact that ... not too wide around thighs. Im 5f5, 100lb with small hips, XXS ... me perfect. Kinda overpriced for ... clothes, get them on sale! =)

Great potential.
I like the style of these ... like the back pockets. The length is too long for ... taste. I like lower rise bottoms ... these were slightly too low for ... taste. I found the same issue with the crotch area that a few reviews noted. The material hugs this area - especially so after running. I felt uncomfortable due to this and felt the need to constantly pull them down. These do hug the rear end so if you do not like that these will not be for you. I am 5'4" and 128lbs. I ordered a small in black and midnight blue. The midnight blue to me was more purple - not an interchangable color for ... current ... clothes so these would be exchanged no matter what. The black are a dull black and ... do attract lint and hair - a big minus when you own two Golden Retrievers. I also noticed the waist area snagged after wearing ... running waist pack - a big minus as well. Overall, ... great with the exception of the crotch area and the length of the leg. I will either exchange for a medium or exchange for a different style. One other plus, these did not show ... underware line. I ran in these yesterday. Weather was in the upper 70's and quite breezy. I felt ... attracted and retained the heat from the sun and ... body - a minus for warm weather running ... good in cooler weather.

Not what ... used to be
I bought 2 pairs of ... 2 yrs ago. in a small and ... great. Even with the pockets ... rear didn't look to big! I held the old pair up to the new pair (both smalls) and not only is the material thinner and cheaper on the newer pair ... legs are 1/4 to 1 inch wider which make the newer pair too big!

Your go to workout shorts
I love these shorts! They live up to the billing and more. They're perfect for cycling, the gym, running -- anything, really. I've had two pair (in black and grey) for more than a year and they've held up great under gentle machine washing/hang to dry care with weekly use. Color is still good and the material has retained its shape. Just bought another pair to supplement my workout wardrobe. They're my go to workout shorts!

Great running shorts!
I've been on a search for running shorts that aren't too short. The tall length was perfect. I want shorts that are above the knee but below my thighs. Very pleased with these. Wish they had more colors -- am tired of finding pretty much nothing but black. They didn't ride up during a run or a Spin bike workout.

comfortable shorts!
these shorts are great for my everyday workout, whether it's a run or yoga or bodyjam. i need a few more pairs to get me through my busy workout week.

even better than I expected
these are a great length! i have a problem with all the workout gear out there that are so short. These are perfect and comfortable.

Love the fit!
These shorts are great during my run or gym workout- very comfortable and soft.

Just what I''ve been looking for!
believe me when I ordered and tried on and returned at least 10 different brands of fitted shorts out there to find the perfect shorts for my fall marathon training. I'm very picky about fit as I am petite, 5'3" 117 lbs size 4 in my street clothes. These shorts have it all. The length is perfect, not too long, not too short. the fabric is nice and smooth to prevent chafing during my runs. The waistband doesn't press in to create muffin top (which after 2 kids, is important!) And the pockets are so incredibly convenient. I ordered two pairs earlier this year because I thought they were going to be discontinued. So pleased to find them back here at Athleta and hope they become a standard item. Buy them! You will love them!

Love ''em!
I love these shorts! They fit great & are super comfy. They do not ride up. The pockets are just ride for phone, gels, etc. The drawstring is a plus as well. I often wash these so that I can wear them the next day. I typically lay them out to dry to try, as with most of my dri tech type workout clothes, to try and make them last as long as possible. These are holding up great!!

My Perfect Britches
These are perfect for me and I just love them! I am 5'4" 125 and a size 4 and the small fits perfectly. They sit on the hips so well and the legs don't roll up so there is no annoying tug o-war during the workout. I have tried many other brands of workout bottoms and am always disappointed...not with these...I LOVE THEM! I use them for running, hiking and weight lifting. They make your tushy look fabulous!

Love them!
These shorts are great! I wear them for the usual gym workout, yoga, weights, cycling, hiking. I normally wear medium & this medium fits perfectly.

Perfect
These shorts are the staple of my gym workout wardrobe. They are the perfect length and fit. I ordered size large and I wear size 12 pants.

great shorts for gym
These shorts are great for a gym workout. I've used them for cycle classes and strength training. They aren't super short so it's nice to know I'm covered!

petite workout clothes - reviews

Great!
These fit great and are perfect for my gym workout. They don't ride up my legs so I am not constantly pulling them down. Love them!

love these shorts
I am 5'1", 103 lbs and I wasn't sure whether to get the xsmall or small. I got the small and they fit perfectly. I don't like stuff that is too tight. I do Bikram yoga, so the extra length helps for tree pose. I LOVE these shorts. The material is super comfortable. I will definitely buy more workout stuff from Athleta, this was my first purchase.

Love these shorts
I needed a pair or shorts to wear to zumba that weren't going to expose my underwear to everyone and this pair works great. I don't want to buy zumba clothes because of the crazy colors and expensiveness for something very specific so these worked out nicely. I can wear them for multiple activities and they fit great. I bought the charcoal color since I have a child and wasn't sure if my body would look good enough yet to rock hot pink pants. I am 5'2" and 108lbs and these look great. I was initially worried about not having a petite size in these but it was not necessary at all. I think the inseam of the shorts is around 4 to 5 inches and while they do "ride" a slight bit, it's not a bother for me at all. The stitching creates a flattering shape to my butt.

Love your booty
What you see is what you get with these yoga ... They are very ... seams do flatter my rear nicely. very comfortable and they don't ride up too much. Perfect for yoga or any workout.

Great yoga ...
I really wanted the kickbooty capris to wear to yoga during the warmer months, but they're on backorder until the end of summer. I was super hesitant to try these ... because I'm 5'9, 150 lbs, with big hips and thighs and a butt that's definitely not my favorite part of my body. I was afraid that I'd look stuffed into these ... they'd be too revealing for all of the bending that goes on in yoga. As soon as I put them on though, I knew they'd be great. Don't get me wrong.. I still don't look like the super athletic models in the photos, but the fabric is thick and stretchy enough to shape pretty well(and it's soft too.. they feel cotton y instead of like typical stretchy workout wear). I got the size M and they hit about an inch and a half below my navel, flattening the tiny bit of tummy I have and not giving me muffin ... all. They are fairly short(not even mid thigh) but they're definitely long enough that I feel comfortable on my 3/4 mile walk to the studio and I don't feel like I'm wearing booty ... haven't noticed any sweat show through, and they definitely stay dry. I've only worn them twice so far but they seem well made.. we'll see how they hold up. I got them in asphalt, which might be just a little lighter than it looks in the photo, and now I want a black or pink pair as well.

These are PERFECT!
I have been looking for the perfect workout ... These are IT! I'm taller (5'8") so it's tough to find cute shorter ... don't show everything. They really don't ride up too bad . . .not even close to previous ... I've tried from other companies. The waist is great too, it almost seemed like it's a slight control ... Just very flattering. I felt sooo good in them. The price is great too! I'm 5'8" and weight 140, and I ordered a medium.

Great shorts!
I already own and love the kick booty pants so I knew I would love the fit of the kickbooty short. I have several capri length workout pants and have been looking for fitted shorts for spin class for summer months. I like shorts that don't move or shift during my workout and these are great. They make my butt look good so that is a bonus!

Great for Hot Yoga
After reading a few of the other reviews, I figured out what makes these great...they aren't tight like traditional biking ... other lycra workout ... yet they still manage to stay in place and don't 'ride'. I got the asphalt and will most likely order the navy. Great for hot yoga, and reasonably priced. So far, washing well.

Good shorts for gym and yoga
These are great shorts for the gym and yoga at a reasonable price. I got them in every color (though pink is not really my thing) as good shorts are hard to find. I like the waistband a lot as I don't have to keep adjusting like many yoga shorts. I have muscular thighs and these shorts work really well without cutting off at the bottom. My only complaint is NO petite sizes. Athleta does a pretty good job at bringing petite pants and a few dresses. Why not shorts? Just because it's a short, doesn't mean it works for a short person! (same with ... actually!) The length is a little longer than I would like, but with most things, as a petite person, you just have to put up with it as I'm not going to spend the money to alter fitness ... Otherwise, nice shorts, good quality fabric. Hoping Athleta will keep things in stock that get good reviews. They tend to sell something one season, sell out, and then move on to the next thing.

a little long, but I''m petite
So far, the shorts have been great. I am petite, so even the small is a little longer than I expected, and the legs of the shorts are a little loose, however extra small wouldn't fit my waist and hips, because these are a perfect fit for a size 2. I was looking for great shorts for hot yoga, and these are very close.

Don''t stay put
I have tried just about all the Athleta shorts, and maybe it is just me, but I can't find a pair that don't creep up on me when I move. These were a perfect fit and super flattering-- until I moved. After just walking a few steps, they had crept up on me and were bunching up in the legs. Very disappointed in this. I am petite, 5'1" and about 103 lbs., and ordered the size XS. I am lean, but my legs are muscular, so I continue to be surprised that the leg openings on all the Athleta workout shorts are not snug on me and won't stay put.

I really like these workout ... I'm 5'4", 110lbs, athletic build, ordered an XS and ... perfectly. The length is perfect on me. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that in ... experience Athleta brand black in this fabric fades quite a bit after a few washings.

Great ... Gym
I love the kickbooty seaming detail because it gives your booty a boost! It is a flattering, typical bermuda length, just over the knee. I love the Pilayo fabric, it is comfortable and soft with performance qualities (wicking, breathable and durable). The fabric lasts forever! I will be wearing this to ... boot camp workout, as well as yoga class.

Not really the thing
I am 5'4" 124# and pear shaped. I ordered the small - ... ok, but on the roomy side. The rise is at ... belly button. The famed rump improving seams are not working with the rise so high. The stove pipe type legs are weird because the material does not drape at all. If I were to hem the legs up an inch or 2 they would be more flattering and less stove pipey. Yet the crotch gusset allows creeping forcing one to yank down desperately at the legs. This is definitely a case for getting a petite ... if you are at all ... legged and determined to try these.

Amazing!
I absolutely love, love these pants! I'm on the ... (5'2) so when I saw that the ... small in regular fit was sold out, I ordered a medium petite. The rise is a little high, but still fit well. I love how they fit the booty area. I'm waiting for the regular to come back into stock!

Aptly named pants
These capris really do improve the appearance of your behind! They are so flattering that I want to wear them every time I work out. Based on some of the reviews, I was worried that they would be tighter than I like my workout wear to be. I typically wear a medium (5'7" / 137 lbs.) and the medium fit perfectly.

Awesome capri!
Love this capri and the fabric. Great for working out and are so comfortable I want to keep them on all day. As long as I am wearing one of my longer fitted ... do wear them all day long. I'm 5'2"; weight 115 lbs; hips 36" and petite small fit perfect.

Perfect capris, petite sizing great
I love these capris. The petite size fits perfect in length and overall. I do have a straight waist and the ... waistband seems kind of tight for a yoga pant. It gives me a slight muffin ... & I'm a 0P normally. All of the yoga pants seem to run snug at the very ... waistband though. I have the kurve, kickbooty and lotus pant & they fit perfectly everywhere except for the very ... waistband which is of a less flexible material. I have the XXSP (5' tall, 100-105 pounds)

Great fit
Love these capris and the fit. I ordered a petite ... even though I'm 5'5'' because I personally like capris to be a little shorter.

Sturdy & Good quality
I found these pants to be super comfortable for yoga, weightlifting, and running. They move well with the body and stretching well. The fabric is very thick, good quality, and workmanship great. True to ... lenght is perfect for petite. I ordered XSP in black. Ref: 5'2" 100lb.

Another cute member of the kickbooty family!
I am a true kickbooty fan, and these were just as cute as the rest of the line. The fit is similar to the regular kickbooty pants. I bought the same ... wear in the longer pants and they fit the same. I am 5'3" and ordered the petite. They were still almost too long, but I like my capris to come closer to the knee and not so much on the calf. These hit me mid calf. Still, they are pretty cute and will be useful in the transition season between pants and ...

Great Workout Capri
Love the fabric and fit. The black heather color is a nice alternative and flattering color. I have received several comments on how cute they are. Because they are my new favorite workout capri (I only have one pair....SO FAR) they have been worn and washed a lot and seem to be holding up really well. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is due to the lower leg fit. The petite seems to be the right length for my ... legs, but the slight flare at the bottom seems to make me look stumpy especially with my no show socks and minimalist shoes.

Loved these!
The kickbooty pant has long been my favorite, and I lost a few pounds and was thrilled to wear the PM ! The look is smooth across your backside and accentuates the positive. The rise of the waist could be a little lower for me( I am 5'1 and have a ... torso). The capri length in petite is good for me, and I weigh 125 lbs. It is FIERCE ZUMBAwear!

wanted to like
I was so excited to receive these in the mail. I am 5'3" and 115 lbs and based on other reviews decided to go with the petite small. They were really ... crotch. Not flattering at all. They did make my butt look good but I had to return them.

Not so hot
I ordered these in a petite based on previous reviews saying that the rise was too ... Even in the petite the rise is still high IMOP. I also see what people meant about the capri legs making it frumpy. It makes me look like I was shipwrecked on a deserted island. Legs are too big with a flare and hit in the wrong place. My suggestion would be to buy the pants and skip the capris entirely. PS. Fabric is not very breathable so pants are hot. Another reason to just go for the full length pant.

In the longer length the XS rise was great.The pants are very well made and worth the price! I am a bargain shopper but feel these pants are worth every penny. They keep me warm outside in our cold NH winters. I have put them to the test and recommend them highly. I usually wear a GAP or [...] Eagle ... 2. and am 5'3"

I bought this pair of pants in Aubergine on sale and I loved it. It ... perfectly around the waist and butt, it is an inch too long for my 5' 1" height. I wear a petite 8 normally, and this pant in a petite medium ... me to a T. I then ordered the same pair in black in the same ... found the ... little bit tighter than the other pair. I kept it anyway because I still liked the way it looked on me. The Black fabric is also thinner than the Aubergine one, however, I don't think I can say that they are not equally warm. I wear it all the time to my workout in the cold Minnesota winter.

Worth the price
Its hard for me to spend this much on pants, but they were completely worth it. In fact, I bought another pair! They have a slight fleece lining that keeps my legs warm and dry in the 15-30 degree weather that I run in the winter. I am 5'1.5" and 115 lbs. I don't like my pants dragging when I run so I bought a petite small and a petite extra small. I'm actually in btw these 2 ... small seems a little too loose (I think my waist is 27"), but its the perfect length. The petite xs is a little ... little tight. So I leaned more towards the petite sm. I like the straighter leg fit that these have versus their sister pant kickbooty that has the flare. This way it doesn't brush my legs as I run.

Very warm and cute
I wear these a lot now. It has been so cold here in NY. I find Athleta pants are too long usually. These are long for me (about 5'5" 120 pounds) so I ordered S petite. S petite ... me pretty well since I don't mind a bit shorter length. Long length bother me though. It gets in a way when I work out. I don't know why so many people like dragging pants on the ground. I hope Athleta makes pants for people with avarage height like myself. 30 inches are the best for me.

Best pant!!! Order a ... up....
Okay, I read the reviews and ordered a ... up. I am 5'1 and 135 (wear a medium usually)....very muscular with big gymnast, cheerleader type thighs. I ordered a petite L, and they make ... booty look soooo good! It pushes up from the bottom and compresses from the top(in back), so NO MUFFIN ... , Ladies!

I am a picky, thrifty shopper for pants of any type, and these are so much cuter than some other brands that run much higher.

Hot pants for the wintertime!
As a tried and true regular kickbooty fan, imagine ... excitement when I saw that there was now a winter version! And, they lived up to expectations! I wasn't sure how thick the material would be, or if it would change the ... so I ordered a M and a L (normally wear a medium in the regular kickbooty pants). They ... very much like the regular kickbooty pants, so the L will get returned. Fabric was nice, fleecy on the inside, smooth on the outside and not too bulky at all. I got the aubergine and it is a really cool color- different than basic black. Note if you have the polartec power stretch pants from Athleta, the winter kickbooty is not as thick as this. Also for you shorter people, I'm 5'4" and the pants were a teeny bit long on me (but workable). However, given the massive difference in length between regular and petite, I did not want to take the chance they would be too ... get the petite. Glad I made that decision.

look and feel great
Love the kickbooty winter weight pants. I wear them in the house when it's cold, super comfortable and soft inside and they look great!! Great for outdoors too, but wouldn't do real hiking (would snag the fabric) but great for gym, zumba, home workout. The ... surprised the petite small was a little on the ... side and I'm 5-2. Totally fine for workout but a teeny bit ... shoes with a low heel. Petite small perfect otherwise for 114-pound pear shaped frame. Very flattering. Athleta logo low on butt a little sassy for travel (in my 50's). Sum: yummy warm and comfy, look great; if you're at the ... petite range in leg length and want them for everyday around town or for travel, maybe order a regular length.

Cozy, comfy pant, but runs big!
I really liked the cozy, fleecy (inside) fabric, and the dark, pretty aubergine color of the kickbooty tech stretch pants, but they ran about 1 ... too big. I'm 5'1", about 107 lbs., waist = 26", hips = 33" and the XS were really big on me. The length was fine, but the waist & hips & legs were big. Unfortunately they ran out of XXS so I couldn't exchange mine and just had to send them back. Athleta, please please please make your ... more consistent! I've ordered Chaturunga pants in petite S that ... perfectly, regular kickbooty pants in petite XS that ... really well (except were 1" too ... outrun pants in petite XS that had a large waist and were too long. I can only speak for myself, but I am about to give up on mail ordering from Athleta because of this. It's one thing if your ... inconsistent and your prices are "discount" but when you charge premium prices, your customers are going to expect consistent ... very least) and because most of your customers can only mail order, I think you're going to start missing out on a lot of sales.

I am 5'4 and was worried that petite would be too ... so I bought the regular length ... I do believe the petite would have been too ... but the length is about 1/2 inch longer than I would like ... at times, I step on the pants with my tennis shoes on.

Warm and comfortable
I ordered the petite ... these pants and they ... perfectly - I am 5'2.5", so they might be a little ... taller petite. I wanted a pair of gym type pants to wear during the winter, not so much for working out as for running around town, walking outside, etc. I like that these are very warm, and they have been perfect for the cold weather. They have a very comfortable fleece lining that is so warm they are actually too warm indoors. I wouldn't wear them to the gym or for yoga, for example. They ... well and look good - snug in the butt, a little flare at the bottom, a little looser from the knee down and not super tight in the lower thighs. My only concern is the stitching at the seams - after only one wash they look ever so slightly frayed. For the price, I would have expected better.

highly recommend but not for me
I was sad to send them back, but the rise was just too low for me. My thighs are bigger than my hips and both pairs were too big in the waist and hip. The fabric is plush and soft and the color aubergine is gorgeous. I'm 5'2, 115lbs, and the Petite XS was good in the thighs and legs, Petite S was way too baggy overall. If you're looking for winter pants for outdoor activities, I highly recommend these pants! As for me, I'll keep looking.
