Women's Training Gear

Training tops are the most frequently replaced piece of gym apparel. They handle the most sweat, the most friction, and the most washing. Both adidas and Under Armour engineer women's training tops with fabrics designed for the demands of serious workouts.

adidas women's training top technologies:

• AEROREADY: The core moisture management system across adidas training apparel. AEROREADY moves sweat from the skin surface to the outer fabric where it evaporates quickly. Available in tees, tanks, crop tops, and long-sleeve options for every training environment.

• Alphaskin compression: Body-hugging fit that supports muscles during heavy lifts, sprints, and plyometric work. Alphaskin crops and long-sleeve tops work as standalone pieces or as base layers under looser training shirts. The compression helps reduce muscle vibration during high-impact exercises.

• AeroKnit ventilation: A knit construction that maps breathability to high-heat zones on the body. AeroKnit tops concentrate airflow at the center back, chest, and underarms where heat builds fastest during intense sessions.

Under Armour women's training top technologies:

• UA Tech: Soft, lightweight, and quick-drying. UA Tech tees and tanks feel comfortable against the skin without the heaviness of cotton. The loose fit allows full arm swing and overhead movement. UA Tech is the most versatile training fabric for general gym use.

• HeatGear compression: Tight-fitting, sweat-wicking fabric for high-intensity and hot-weather training. HeatGear crops, tanks, and long-sleeve tops sit against the skin and channel moisture away rapidly. The compression provides muscle support during demanding movements.

• Iso-Chill: Cooling technology that uses titanium-infused fibers to redistribute body heat away from the skin. Iso-Chill tops feel noticeably cooler to the touch, making them ideal for summer outdoor training and hot gym environments.

For sports bras, look for impact-level ratings matched to your training style. High-impact bras suit HIIT, running, and jump-heavy workouts. Medium-impact handles strength training and cycling. Low-impact works for yoga and stretching. Browse [women's sports bras](/collections/womens-sports-bras) for the full selection.

Training bottoms need to support deep squats, high kicks, floor work, and everything in between. Both brands build women's training bottoms with features designed for athletic movement.

adidas women's training bottoms:

• Designed for Training (D4T) shorts: AEROREADY fabric with a stretch waistband that stays in place during squats and lunges. An articulated gusset at the inner thigh adds range of motion for wide-stance exercises. The built-in brief provides support without requiring separate undergarments.

• Alphaskin compression leggings: Full-length compression that supports quads, hamstrings, and calves during heavy lower-body work. Alphaskin stays in place during all movement types and wicks sweat efficiently. High waistband provides core coverage and stays up during dynamic movements.

• Tiro training pants: Tapered-leg joggers with AEROREADY fabric and ankle zips. Ideal for warm-ups, cool-weather training, and travel. The relaxed fit allows full range of motion while maintaining a clean silhouette.

Under Armour women's training bottoms:

• Play Up shorts: Designed for women and girls with a lightweight, anti-pick knit that resists snagging. The elastic waistband sits comfortably and stays in place during sprints, jumps, and lateral movements. Quick-drying fabric handles heavy sweat output.

• HeatGear compression leggings: Tight-fitting bottoms that wick sweat and support muscles. HeatGear leggings are the go-to for leg-heavy training days, running, and high-intensity classes. The high waistband provides secure coverage.

• Meridian leggings: Buttery-soft fabric with four-way stretch and a brushed interior. Meridian leans toward the yoga and studio side of training, with maximum comfort and a flattering fit. Still performance-capable but emphasizes feel over compression.

For most women, a rotation of 2-3 pairs of shorts and 1-2 pairs of leggings covers a full training week. Add training pants for cool-weather sessions. Layer [compression shorts](/collections/womens-compression) under looser shorts for combined coverage and support.
