Training and Gym Shorts

Custom Training and Gym Shorts Built to Perform

VS Wear designs and manufactures custom training and gym shorts in performance polyester fabrics with moisture-management technologies that transport perspiration away from the skin.

Every pair includes unlimited design revisions and a fast 3 to 4 week guaranteed turnaround.

From CrossFit boxes and martial arts studios through to running clubs and personal training businesses, our design team builds shorts that genuinely move with the body through demanding training.

A pair of training shorts sees more repeated, high-intensity movement across a season than almost any other piece of gym apparel, worn through squats, sprints, grappling and everything in between. Because it is subjected to this much genuine physical demand, getting the fabric stretch, seam construction and fit right on this specific piece has a direct, ongoing impact on how comfortable and confident athletes feel during exactly the moments that matter most in their training.

Fabric

Performance Fabric and Construction Features

Stretch fabrics are used specifically for flexibility during workouts, with mesh panels included for genuine ventilation during sustained, high-output training.

Moisture-Wicking Polyester and Mesh Ventilation

Reinforced stitching ensures durability through the repeated washing and genuinely demanding athletic use that training shorts are subjected to across a full season, rather than failing at the seams after only a handful of intense sessions. Flatlock seams help prevent chafing during extended wear, a genuinely important detail for shorts worn through long training blocks, competitions or back-to-back sessions where a standard seam can cause real discomfort over time.

We select stretch and mesh placement deliberately based on the actual movement patterns these shorts are used for, rather than applying one generic construction across every style. A short built for CrossFit needs to handle deep squats and explosive movement, while a short built for running prioritises a different kind of flexibility through a repetitive, sustained stride, and getting this distinction right genuinely affects how the finished garment performs.

VS Wear makes these shorts factory-direct, so a gym or club deals straight with the makers. That keeps pricing competitive, typically 30 to 40% below premium retail, and means fit, colour and branding are settled quickly rather than routed through a reseller.

Moisture-management fabric technology matters most in exactly the conditions training shorts are actually worn in, whether that is a sweat-drenched CrossFit workout, a long-distance run through Australian heat, or a martial arts session involving sustained physical exertion against another person. A fabric that traps moisture against the skin leaves athletes uncomfortable and can genuinely affect performance during a long session, while properly engineered moisture transport keeps the wearer noticeably drier and more comfortable across the full duration of training.

Quality

Built to Last a Full Training Season

We deliberately avoid cutting corners on stitching and seam quality even where it would reduce cost, because training shorts are subjected to genuinely repeated stress through squatting, lunging and explosive movement across every single session.

A pair of shorts that splits at the seam or loses its waistband elasticity after a handful of washes is not fit for the demanding training environments they are actually used in. This is why reinforced stitching and flatlock seam construction are treated as core specifications on every order we produce, not optional upgrades reserved for premium pricing tiers. Internal compression layer options add a further level of support and coverage for athletes who prefer this style, particularly useful for CrossFit and functional fitness training involving overhead movement and deep ranges of motion where additional coverage and support genuinely matter to the wearer.

Digital mockups showing exactly how your chosen colours, branding and construction will look are supplied before any garments are produced, giving gym owners and club coordinators confidence in the finished result ahead of committing to a bulk order. This step removes the guesswork that can come with ordering custom training apparel sight unseen, particularly for larger gyms and clubs placing an order across an entire membership base or multiple training groups at once.

Reordering shorts later for new members is straightforward, since approved artwork, colour references and sizing specifications are kept on file and do not need to be rebuilt from scratch for a smaller top-up order. Bundling shorts with training hoodies, jackets or singlets from our wider training range is a genuinely efficient way to build a coordinated apparel program without managing multiple separate orders across different timelines and specifications.

Features

Key Features at a Glance

Elastic waistbands with drawstring closures and internal compression layer options give athletes a genuinely secure, adjustable fit through active training.

Full-colour sublimation printing supports unlimited design complexity and permanent graphics that will not crack, peel or fade the way a printed design applied on top of the fabric can after repeated washing. This matters specifically for training shorts, which typically get washed far more often than most other garments in a person's wardrobe given how frequently they are worn for genuinely sweaty, high-output sessions.

Length

Choosing Your Length and Fit

Multiple length options are available from short athletic cuts to knee-length training styles, giving athletes genuine choice suited to their specific training discipline.

Short Athletic Cuts vs Knee-Length Styles

A short athletic cut suits activities requiring genuinely unrestricted leg movement, such as sprinting, jumping and dynamic functional training, where excess fabric around the knee can interfere with a full range of motion. A knee-length style suits training environments where more coverage is preferred, including some martial arts disciplines and general gym use, offering a more relaxed fit without sacrificing genuine performance fabric and construction.

Who It Suits

Perfect for Fitness Centres and Athletic Programs

Our training shorts are genuinely popular with CrossFit boxes, martial arts studios, running clubs and personal training businesses across Australia.

CrossFit boxes need shorts that handle deep squats, box jumps and Olympic lifting technique without restriction, while martial arts studios need a fit that stays in place through grappling and dynamic movement without riding up mid-session. Running clubs prioritise breathability and chafe-free construction across sustained distance, and personal training businesses use branded shorts as recognisable, professional apparel for coaching staff working directly with clients.

Ordering

Design Process and Production Specifications

Digital mockups are provided demonstrating print quality, fit and construction before manufacturing begins, giving your gym confidence in the finished result.

Sizing runs, reorder programs and seasonal collection launches are coordinated directly for clients, so a gym experiencing genuine membership growth can plan ahead rather than scrambling for a last-minute reorder each time new members join. This structured approach also helps gyms budget predictably across a full year rather than treating apparel as an unplanned expense.
