Powerhouse GymBasic Workout Short

First, this is what I was looking for and expected. Second, the shipping cost is too high and makes these overpriced. A good value would be about $18.00 in my mail box. Am I happy with the purchase? Yes. Will I buy another pair? Maybe at a lower final price.I'm a 36-inch waist and large fits perfect. I'd recommend the next size up if your pushing a 38-inch waist. These shorts with pockets would be a plus, but it's not a show stopper.

Basics about the shorts: no pockets, small strip opening on the bottom outer sides, thick quality fabric, no inseam like running shorts do, slightly stretchable material, short length-wise like the norm in the 70'sAt first, I took the advice from the comments in saying to order one size or even two sizes larger than one's normal size. I went with that and received my order of a size LARGE since I am usually a small for shorts since I like them short on the thigh for working out. I tried the LARGE size short on and it seemed to reach down 3/4 of the way on the thigh. They were also too open and loose on the bottom, the "radius" one can say. It was almost like an inverted cone shape, tight on the waist and opens on the way down. I was okay with the length of the LARGE, but it was too loose on the bottom. I then made a decision to return it and exchange it for a MEDIUM and contacted Best Form. They replied within hours and accepted my Return Request.Returns are easy: I submit a Return Request, they approve it, I am provided with a printable Return Address slip, I print the slip, pack my items in an appropriate fitting box, taped and sealed the Return Slip on the package, and then went to my local shipping and paid the necessary fees as Best Form Fitness does not cover return fees.After receiving my exchange for a Medium, I am now 100% pleased with what I was looking for. They fit perfect on the waist, are now even shorter (about 1/2 way on the thigh), and are not as loose on the very bottom openings. Overall, this IS how true, classic shorts are supposed to fit. For those that are saying that they are "too short", then consider buying some basketball shorts since these are "too small" for you. It is clearly stated by the seller that they "RUN SMALL". These are REAL shorts.

These are the kind of gym shorts I wore in junior high, and high school. Gym shorts are supposed to be this short, not what they try to pass off as gym shorts, today! I first went by the sizing chart, and I got Xlarge. I weigh 170 pounds, 34" waist, and I am 6'2", they came mid thigh, on me. That was fine, they still fit good, and look good, on me. At that size, are more appropriate to ware in public. I decided to order them in my "TIGHTY-WHITEY" underwear size 34"-36, and I am glad I did! They fit perfectly, not too loose, or tight, short, or long perfect! I recommend your underwear size. Make sure you wear underwear, or an athletic supporter, compression shorts, with them. I got them in navy blue, and they look great in white above the knee compression shorts. If you have a nice body, and not afraid, or ashamed to show it off, you will love these shorts. Keep in mind, these are shorts! So, don't whine, when you get them! They are short, but not too short, These are men's gym shorts, not "DAISY -DUKES"!!! These shorts are 100% cotton, and very comfortable, I highly recommend them!

Not high quality, but these are old school style lifting shorts. They are short! If you are into wearing shorts to your knees, then these are not for you. If you never squat, then these are also for you. However, if you are an old school lifter like I am, then these fit the bill.

These Powerhouse Gym shorts are the perfect thing to wear at the gym if you are buff and not ashamed of your body. The fabric is lightweight and suitable for warmer temperatures. Moreover, it moderately stretches with your body and breathes when you work up a sweat. Unlike a lot of workout clothing on the market today, this natural fabric feels comfortable against the skin. It is not heavy, itchy, nor intrusive. The sizing is just right. What can I say? If you're looking for a good, utilitarian workout short that flatters a muscular physique, this is your man. And yes, these are SHORTS for serious athletes.

Very comfortable and soft. The shorts give pretty good coverage for the gym without being too much. The waist band is a bit tight for the size, though I wouldn't want the body of the shorts to be any bulkier.

to wide in the leg,, even though I weigh 195 I'm very lean below waist so I was wanting a more fit the waist was good and length

These are exactly what I was looking for, but impossible to find anymore at sporting goods store since all men's shorts are ridiculously long and baggy--how do they exercise in them anyway? My husband is a lifter and likes these because they are short, cool, comfortable and fine for doing squats or just hanging around the house. I wish they were cheaper (you can find women's similar shorts for much less off the rack), and came without a logo, but since they are so hard to find, I'll take what I can get.
