THE GYM PEOPLE Thick High Waist Yoga Pants with Pockets, Tummy Control Workout Running Yoga Leggings for Women

I’m not one to wear leggings or yoga pants out in public. But I put these on and wore them every where! They didn’t look too tight, they fit great all day long, and I never felt like I had just leggings on. The pockets are a bonus. I like to just carry my phone instead of a bag, and these pockets allowed my phone to fit just fine and I have a pretty big phone! Yesterday was a cold day and these yoga pants kept me warm. The only issue I have found, and this will NOT keep me from buying more, is that they can collect lint/pet hair. I was able to brush it off fairly easily. I will be buying more!

Because I’m old AF, Activewear really isn’t my jam. I prefer a more classic look for every day. However two life events took place that made me change my mind. The first was a 17-pound Pandemic weight gain. If I had a dollar for every bag of tortilla chips I consumed during the last six months, I would be able to afford to move back to NYC! And not have to work! The second event was cataract surgery ( and yes-when you get old it’ll happen to you!). Forgetting about the impact this pandemic has in connection on healthcare, I recently had the first of two cataract surgeries. Dopey me. I wore a little black dress thinking I would have to change in a hospital gown. Instead, I had to wear my lbd during surgery! Not wanting to expose my gorgeous panties or worse, a blanket was placed over me.
Needless to say my thoughts were “NFW am I wearing a dress to my next surgery”. And so, I let my fingers do the walking over to Amazon! And I found these leggings/ pants/ activewear thingies. Oh am I thrilled with them!
Regardless of my expanding hips, thighs and gut, I went with the Medium. At 5’6” and 157 lbs, the fit is fabulous! My gut is sucked in and the high waist is super Post-menopause friendly! I’ll admit, these could be a tad longer in the leg but it isn’t a deal-breaker!
The fabric is thick and opaque so you can keep transparency for your personality rather than what you’re wearing!
And these have pockets!! Holy Cannoli! Pockets! When I go back for my second cataract surgery, I can slide my insurance cards and IDin one pocket and my cell phone in the other! This is epic as purses aren’t allowed at the surgical center! Who knew that this activewear would come in handy as surgical attire? And I can work out too! Well, I’m lazy so let’s just say I can walk my dog in these pants!
The price is right, the fit is flattering and fabulous Nd I need another pair! These are great! I’m very pleased!
Thank you for reading and I hope this review made you smile!

I bought these for an upcoming Christmas trip to Paris to keep warm while jogging and layer under jeans. They did not disappoint! Super warm with a soft fleece lining and a good quality outer fabric . They were comfortable to work out in and stayed up and didn’t roll in the waist band. They aren’t as “shaping” as other work out leggings, but aren’t see so they get the job done for what I needed them for. They were long enough for me also, which is a plus since I am tall.

I ordered 2 pairs as a trial over a more expensive brand that I typically wear. These are more comfortable and stay up while working out so much better! I’ve had them for a little over a month and wear them multiple times a week. I have yet to have any issues with them. After a few more months of wear to see the durability is up to par, I will be ordering 5-6 more pairs as I typically only wear yoga pants. So far, so good.

I run, walk , and workout about 6 days a week. I work from home so I wear workout clothes for most days – all day long! Typically, I hope to not spend over $100 a pair. I was wooed by the reviews of these leggings. The fit is ok. There is no compression. The fabric is opaque and soft, but it just sits there. I am afraid that the fabric may even become droopy before too long. I like the high waist, yet I am disappointed in the waistband. It looks wide, but there is only a thin strip at the top that has any elasticity. That is very disappointing, it can also become uncomfortable. The tiny strip of waist elastic also takes away from a smooth silhouette. The color was also uneven as there is a visible dark line across my left thigh! The price is great, the side pockets are also great. These tights/leggings do not compare with the more expensive options. They don’t hold up for athletic wear, and are not good looking enough for athleisure wear. I’m glad I tried them, now I know that my more expensive leggings are worth the money!
