I first found FlexxFit about 2 years ago now. I was drawn in by the bright colours and affordable prices and it is one of the best discoveries I have made!
The first pair I got was the Cranberry ‘Go Higher’ (or something like that) which they no longer do, they’ve moved onto better things. I still reach for these a lot even though I’ve had them a while. The colour hasn’t faded at all and they still fit really well, however the colour does transfer a little bit when you wear a light coloured top that covers it. The transferred colour comes out in the wash though so I’m not too mad about it. They still sell this colour just in the new design and fabric.
When they brought out their new ‘Luxe’ leggings I ordered a pair with the matching crossover bra. Due to it being new product there was a whole kerfuffle which meant I had to wait ages (I think it was about 3 months in the end) for these to arrive but the customer service was impeccable. They kept me informed every step of the way and provided me with a discount code valid for the next 2 years as an apology.
The material of the luxe leggings are thick and soft, and the fit is really flattering. The waist hits at a really good point and they have a good level of compression on the stomach area.
I have these in steel grey, spiced pumpkin which is a burnt orange colour and seafoam which is a blue/green colour.
I also have a pair of their heart contour leggings. I really like the detailing on these and the pockets are life changing! However, they don’t come up as high as the luxe leggings and so I don’t find them quite as flattering. These are in the colour ‘mystic merlot’ which is a dusty pink colour. They also do these in the luxe legging style.
I have all of these in a size small and am a UK 10/12, the leggings are all £29.99 which is great value for money and they very often have sales making them even cheaper.
Like everyone else I love a matching gym set so naturally I have the matching bras for 3 of the leggings…
I have the steel grey crossover bra, mystic merlot luxe v tape bra and the spiced pumpkin scoop neck bra. These come up quite small so I have these in medium or large, and even then it can be a bit risky when doing HIIT!
The bras are £24.99, but if you pick your timing right they have them on offer for as low as £9.99!
These are so worth the money and if I could I would have these in every single colour, I just don’t have the drawer space (or the bank balance lets be honest).

Gymshark VS Myprotein: A review
An honest review of the Gymshark Flex leggings VS the Myprotein seamless leggings
The stitching on the back is slightly curved which is nice and flattering on the booty. Straight seams can create a sort of double butt look…no one wants that! The curved seam sits above the booty giving it a nice shape.
5/5 Love love love these leggings! So comfy and flattering. They have a nice thick high waist band, and I do love me a high waist band. Perfect for those days when your feeling bloated or a bit insecure about your middle (we all have them) and also they don’t slide down at all – no one wants to show there bum accidentally mid squat now do they! The colour is great and the little mesh panels on the side add a bit of something more interesting to these otherwise reasonably plain leggings. Another feature that I wasn’t sure about but actually really like is the ribbing of the back of the waistband and the bottoms. Actually cannot think of one thing I don’t like about these. I well and truly tested how sweat proof these were buy doing sprints in the park in full sunshine in the middle of summer (British summer mind so it was only about 21 degrees) and I am pleased to say that they were very much sweat proof and they were great temperature wise as well! I didn’t get too hot at all which was surprising considering they’re a dark colour and I was in the sun.
