Okay, I'm officially obsessed with these THE GYM PEOPLE leggings. I've tried SO many brands, but these are the only ones that don't roll down during burpees (seriously, why is that so hard to find?!).

The high waist is *chef's kiss* - it actually stays put and gives nice tummy control without feeling like a sausage casing. And can we talk about the POCKETS? Two side pockets that fit my phone securely plus a sneaky hidden waistband pocket for keys? Game changer.

I'm 5'7" and 160lbs, wearing size M, and they fit like they were made for me. The fabric is thick enough to be squat-proof but still breathable - no awkward see-through moments here. After a year of aerial silks abuse (yes, actual silks!), they're holding up impressively well with minimal pilling.

Pro tip: The solid colors seem slightly more compressive than the patterned ones if that's your preference. I now own four pairs because apparently I need every color? No regrets though - worth every penny for leggings that actually perform as advertised!
