Hey guys! So I broke down and got all of the new energy seamless colors on Gymshark. The new colors are red sea, malibu blue, and tropical blue! This review is 100% honest and unsponsored!! I bought all of these with my own money so I have no reason to give a review that isn't the truth! I go into a detailed review of sizing differences, colors, the waistband, the material and feel, and of course-- a squat test... You just have to watch and see but let's just say I am DISAPPOINTED in you Gymshark!! All a girl wants is some squat proof leggings.
I got all 3 colors in a size small!
MY MEASUREMENTS
- Chest: 29 in, 73cm
- Bust: 35 in, 89cm
- Bra size: 32 DDD (70DDD EU sizing)
- Waist: 25 in, 64 cm
- Hip: 37.5 in , 95 cm(widest part)
- Thigh: 22.5 in, 57cm

00:00 If you were clicking on this video
00:01 hoping that Gymshark finally made
00:03 a pair of squat proof leggings,
00:05 I am not gonna be the one to bring you that news.
00:07 What's up guys and welcome back to my channel
00:09 or welcome if you're new.
00:10 I literally feel like I just made a Gymshark video.
00:14 I just reviewed the Flawless Knit like two weeks ago
00:17 and now they're already making new leggings.
00:19 They're really cranking out the leggings very fast
00:21 and it's honestly hard to keep up.
00:23 If you guys enjoy these Gymshark review videos,
00:26 please give the video a thumbs up
00:28 and you know I will always be totally honest with you.
00:30 So you will get the details on if these are sheer,
00:33 if there's any camel toe, if they're fitting weird.
00:35 I do not hold back 'cause I bought these with my own money.
00:38 But today we're reviewing the new colors
00:40 of their Energy Plus Seamless
00:42 which are the updated Energy Seamless leggings.
00:45 They have three new colors.
00:46 They have just blue, they're calling this
00:49 and then they have red and this is like tropical blue
00:52 which is like a teal color.
00:54 I feel like they're definitely going towards
00:55 like the spring kind of trends with these colors
00:58 and they're definitely like very trendy,
01:00 bright colors which I love.
01:02 So these leggings are going for $55
01:04 which is on their higher end of leggings.
01:07 Kind of the usual for them these days honestly.
01:10 So the material of the leggings is 94% nylon, 6% elastane.
01:15 And this is the same material
01:17 that the old Energy Plus Seamless was.
01:19 So there's no change of materials.
01:21 These are just new colors.
01:22 But if you aren't familiar with the Energy Plus Seamless,
01:25 they might be like the tiniest bit stretchier
01:27 than the original Energy Seamless
01:30 but they still have a lot of compression.
01:32 These leggings have that kind of more slick texture.
01:34 They're not at all cottony
01:36 and they're just very compressive.
01:38 They do have a decent amount of stretch to them
01:40 but when you feel them on, they just feel very tight
01:43 and if you like a lot of compression
01:44 and like being sucked in a lot,
01:46 these are definitely a good pair of leggings.
01:48 As for sizing, they have extra small to extra large
01:50 which is the largest size range I've seen
01:52 from Gymshark in a while.
01:53 So props to them for that.
01:55 So the sizing for these is a little complex.
01:57 I would say true to size for the most part.
02:00 I am a small and I would not have strayed
02:02 from my size small just because if I sized up,
02:06 the waistband would have been too big on me
02:08 but they are very compressive.
02:10 So if you don't like that compression
02:12 and you maybe want a little more space, I would size up.
02:15 And also there's an issue with these that I'm having
02:18 is that the crotch feels very tight.
02:20 I've gone over this in the past,
02:21 the crotch stitching on Gymshark's leggings
02:23 really doesn't have a lot of give
02:25 and like the Energy Seamless especially,
02:27 I've been having issues with this.
02:29 They just feel like it's really pulling
02:31 whenever you do any kind of stretching movements.
02:33 So if you're really into like yoga and dance
02:36 and like you really like to do the splits and stuff,
02:39 these are probably my least favorite leggings for that
02:41 just because the crotch is so stiff
02:44 and it almost kind of like pinches my thigh
02:46 like in like weird ways.
02:48 I'll insert clips.
02:49 It just, I don't know.
02:50 It makes me feel like kind of weird
02:53 and it doesn't like just glide over your leg.
02:55 It kind of like pinches at it.
02:57 These are also a full length on me and I'm about 5'9".
03:00 So with all of these leggings perfectly lined up at the top,
03:03 you can see that the reds are the tiniest bit longer
03:08 for whatever reason and these are all size small.
03:10 So this waistband is shorter
03:13 than the original Energy Seamless.
03:14 The original Energy Seamless was like super, super high waist
03:17 which I personally loved,
03:19 but this one hits right about at the belly button.
03:21 I had some differences in waistband height with the colors,
03:25 but I'll go over that later
03:26 when I go over like specific colors.
03:28 There's definitely lots of compression in the waistband.
03:30 These leggings are already compressive
03:32 and the waistband is double thickness.
03:34 And I'm kind of like,
03:35 the waistband is semi flattering for me honestly
03:38 because it's so thick,
03:39 it kind of like can cut off your butt
03:41 in like the middle of it
03:42 or it kind of like cuts into the love handle region too
03:45 and kind of makes them like spill out.
03:47 So I wouldn't say this is Gymshark's
03:49 most flattering waistband.
03:50 I personally prefer a waistband like their Flawless Knit,
03:53 which gives a lot more space down here
03:56 and just as the waistband at the top
03:58 so that it doesn't cut in anywhere that's unflattering.
04:01 So have the red and the teal lined up on this end
04:05 and the teal definitely has a good centimeter on the waist
04:08 and the blue color has even more room on the waist.
04:11 So the red is the smallest in the waistband,
04:14 then the teal and then the blue is the biggest.
04:17 These leggings do have very beautiful details.
04:19 They have a more elongated thin eyelet detailing,
04:23 which is definitely different
04:25 than the original Energy Seamless,
04:26 but the same as the Energy Plus Seamless
04:29 because these are the Energy Plus Seamless.
04:31 The eyelets are definitely a very key part of this design,
04:35 but just know with these eyelets,
04:36 if you use a resistance band,
04:38 these can kind of fray.
04:40 And if you're not careful with getting your leggings on
04:42 and you have nails,
04:43 you can like kind of poke through them
04:45 and get holes and runs.
04:47 So definitely you have to be very careful
04:49 with these types of leggings.
04:50 I don't wear Energy Seamless on leg days
04:52 because I like to use a hip circle band
04:55 and it totally just ruins these eyelets.
04:57 Yeah, just be mindful with these
04:58 that they are very delicate.
05:00 I also had no camel toe in any of these colors.
05:02 There's no front seam,
05:03 so it's usually kind of hard to have camel toe there.
05:06 Now I'm going to talk about all of the colors.
05:08 All the colors generally fit true to size.
05:10 I didn't notice I had a lot of space in one
05:12 or not in the other,
05:14 but there was some difference in stretchiness.
05:16 So first I'll talk about the red.
05:17 This was definitely the stretchiest of the three colors
05:20 and I'm not really sure why.
05:21 The waistband also was a decent amount higher
05:24 than the other colors.
05:24 This might've been due to because they were stretchier.
05:27 I could pull them up a little higher,
05:29 but these definitely came up to about like a centimeter
05:32 above my belly button,
05:33 while the others were like,
05:34 you could see part of my belly button.
05:36 So the reds were definitely higher waisted.
05:38 As for cellulite, there is minimal cellulite.
05:40 I say minimal because these are so compressive
05:43 that it does keep you in place for the most part
05:45 and hide it, but they're still very thin leggings.
05:47 So, and like there's no color or marl to hide any cellulite.
05:51 So you definitely are still at risk for some.
05:53 Now for the squat test.
05:56 So I just thought I would try on some darker color underwear
05:58 to see if they are possible to be seen
06:01 and you can see it standing up.
06:04 Let's just, can I just have a moment of silence?
06:13 I don't know when the last time Gymshark
06:15 has had a pair of squat proof leggings is.
06:16 Like I just can't, not in my last two reviews.
06:19 These, I give them a four out of 10.
06:21 I really thought the red would be fine.
06:23 No, you can see the booty crack in its full, full glory.
06:27 It's not cute, it's not cute.
06:29 And we'll notice down the line
06:30 that the squat test doesn't get any better.
06:32 So squat test fail on these for sure.
06:35 Okay, next is the tropical blue.
06:36 And these, I give them a two out of 10 on the squat test.
06:39 I mean, this is really bad.
06:40 Do we need to talk about the yellow flawless knit again?
06:42 Because this is getting up there with that.
06:44 The yellow flawless knit, those weren't even stand proof,
06:47 but these are like,
06:48 these are definitely a no for any sort of leg day.
06:52 Any day that you're leaning over,
06:54 these are just, these are just goodbye.
06:56 Same story with the cellulite on these.
06:58 And also they felt just a little bit stiffer than the reds,
07:02 but they're about the same stiffness as the blues,
07:05 but just kind of that regular like compressive,
07:07 like kind of stiff energy seamless feel,
07:09 if you know what I mean.
07:10 If you've ever tried this energy seamless,
07:12 you'll know what I mean.
07:13 And lastly, the blue, also not squat proof.
07:16 I will also give these a four out of 10
07:18 because it's better than the tropical blue,
07:20 but maybe a tiny bit better than the red,
07:23 but still like, you know, your booty is gonna be showing.
07:26 Like I wore like a nude underwear on these,
07:29 so you couldn't see that,
07:30 but you can see the skin and that is not what you want.
07:33 You don't need to be flashing everyone at the gym.
07:35 So apparently energy seamless really aren't for leg days.
07:39 And just about everything else on the regular blue color
07:41 is very similar to the tropical blue in cellulite
07:44 and stretchiness and all that,
07:45 but they feel about the same.
07:47 So the moral of the story is you can never bend over
07:50 in any Gymshark leggings apparently.
07:53 Don't know why it's like this.
07:55 You'd think that they could make some squat proof colors,
07:58 but if you guys remember the original energy seamless,
08:00 they made it in a light blue like this
08:01 and they included those little underwear
08:03 'cause they knew they weren't squat proof.
08:05 Now they don't include those anymore.
08:06 They just let you show your butt to the world,
08:08 which I don't know what's better to be honest.
08:11 So thank you guys so much for watching
08:12 and I'll see you next time.
08:13 Bye.
