00:00 Hey guys, and welcome back to my channel.
00:02 Or if you are new here, my name is Kathryn.
00:04 I review a lot of leggings,
00:05 do a lot of lifestyle type videos.
00:07 Make sure to subscribe if you are not already.
00:09 So today I got my $300 worth of Gymshark.
00:13 I got one of all of the new collections
00:17 that they just launched.
00:18 This was another one of Gymshark's like silent launches.
00:20 I don't understand why they do these.
00:22 They don't really give these sets
00:23 to a lot of their athletes.
00:24 They don't really do a lot of photo shoots.
00:25 They don't really do a lot of promotions.
00:27 This launch really snuck up on me.
00:29 All of a sudden I was like,
00:30 oh my gosh, all this stuff is launching tomorrow.
00:32 Had to buy it on my phone.
00:34 Accidentally bought a few wrong sizes.
00:36 When they don't hype things,
00:37 I kind of wonder like why they don't hype them.
00:39 Like are they not very good or what?
00:41 So I have their Power Down Seamless set,
00:44 which I really did not see anyone in this set.
00:46 This was very, very underhyped.
00:48 The Poi set, which I saw a few pictures of it
00:51 on Gymshark Women's Instagram.
00:53 And the Mesh Layer set, which is in this weird,
00:56 like, I don't know, kind of like musky camo-ish
00:59 kind of print, not really camo.
01:02 Also didn't see anyone wearing that.
01:03 But they also launched some new colors
01:05 of their Dreamy 2.0 leggings.
01:06 I think they might've already done this,
01:08 but I really just liked this peach color,
01:09 so I wanted to try it.
01:10 I'm going to be giving you my 100% honest opinions.
01:13 If you've been on this channel before,
01:14 I don't say good things about things
01:16 I don't actually like.
01:17 So it's very hard to impress me with leggings
01:18 because I have like 70 pairs.
01:20 I already have some first impressions of these.
01:22 Some are good, some of them are not so good.
01:24 So let's just get right into it.
01:26 So first, I'm going to try on the Power Down Seamless set.
01:29 Also, if my hair looks a little frizzy today,
01:31 it's because it was just too hot in my bathroom
01:33 to straighten it, so I just didn't.
01:36 So the leggings of these are a super high-waisted legging.
01:40 This waistband looks like six inches high.
01:42 Honestly, this is going to be like way too high for me,
01:44 and I have a long torso.
01:45 I'm like 5'9".
01:46 The leggings themselves feel like they look like
01:49 the original Gymshark Seamless leggings,
01:52 like without the energy detailing because of this high waist.
01:55 They have some ribbed detailing down the side,
01:57 but the fabric is not a performance fabric.
02:00 You can see this.
02:02 It literally looks like someone commented
02:04 on my Instagram story.
02:05 I did a little first impression on my Instagram story,
02:07 and someone commented these look like
02:08 they're made of a paper towel,
02:09 and they honestly do feel like a towel.
02:12 They're decently stretchy.
02:13 I just don't know about this material.
02:15 It seems like these look like a performance legging
02:16 because they're very high waist, but then they're not.
02:19 And then this sports bra.
02:20 This is the sports bra.
02:21 It definitely looks very low-impact.
02:23 I think they advertise it as low-impact.
02:25 It's the same material.
02:26 It just feels like it's gonna be more of a bralette,
02:28 like training bra kind of style.
02:30 Gonna be very low support.
02:32 My big pet peeve with this bra though
02:34 is that they have holes for removable cup pads,
02:37 but they didn't put in removable cup pads.
02:39 Do you know how cheap removable cup pads are?
02:41 They're literally pennies.
02:43 So why can't they just put some in?
02:44 Because I don't want my nips popping out at the gym.
02:47 I don't know about you.
02:48 So a little confused on that.
02:51 So let's try this on.
02:52 I have some questions.
02:54 I don't know how far I need to stand back,
02:55 but do we see how high this waist is?
02:58 This is my belly button.
03:00 We got a solid few inches.
03:02 I could actually make this a full little suit right here.
03:07 Not even showing any skin.
03:09 Like this, I'm sorry.
03:10 What were they thinking?
03:12 I really liked their Energy Seamless leggings.
03:14 And I just have so many questions on like,
03:17 why are you like this?
03:19 Why are you like this?
03:20 So if you roll this down, it could be cute.
03:22 I know it said on the website
03:23 that you could roll it down,
03:24 but you have to roll it down.
03:25 Like, honestly, I just wouldn't recommend
03:27 these leggings overall
03:28 because I don't like rolling down my leggings.
03:30 And you literally have to,
03:31 or else I look like I'm wearing maternity pants.
03:33 I didn't realize I was shopping
03:34 in the maternity section of Gymshark.
03:36 I didn't.
03:36 Oh, hello.
03:37 This is my Lulu.
03:38 She says hi.
03:39 Okay, so I guess we'll talk about the sports bra.
03:43 I really feel like they could have put in some pads here.
03:45 There's really just no excuse.
03:46 They have a little Gymshark logo right here.
03:49 It's definitely,
03:50 I honestly could say like low to medium support.
03:52 Luz, what's up?
03:53 Just like plain cut sports bra.
03:56 Really nothing special about the sports bra.
03:58 They really could have put some pads in.
03:59 That's all I have to say.
04:00 Okay, now I'm gonna bring you guys down
04:01 to see the leggings a little more.
04:02 The material, it kind of like,
04:05 it kind of folds a little bit.
04:06 I don't know, just because it's like this really
04:09 like kind of cottony material.
04:11 This is 100% not performance fabric at all.
04:13 It has a lot of texture to the legging,
04:15 but I'm just really not a huge fan.
04:18 The Gymshark logo is like randomly down here on my leg.
04:21 Kind of a weird place.
04:22 They did, I haven't seen any of their athletes wearing these
04:25 and I don't think I will.
04:26 They're actually decently stretchy
04:28 and I don't feel like I'm being like too restricted,
04:30 but I feel like I'm wearing a pair of cotton leggings
04:31 from Target and I just don't like them.
04:33 So these are a no for me.
04:34 (upbeat music)
04:37 Now for the poise set.
04:44 So the first time I took this out of the bag,
04:46 I was literally shook because this is one
04:49 of the softest fabrics I've ever felt.
04:51 If you watched my last Gymshark review video,
04:54 the duo leggings, I was like thoroughly impressed
04:56 with the fabric of those duo leggings.
04:58 But this is literally so soft.
05:00 I just want you to take a look at this
05:02 and look how like almost velvety it is.
05:04 It has like a soft brushed feeling.
05:07 Like this is literally probably one
05:08 of the softest fabrics I've ever felt.
05:10 And you guys know, I have no reason
05:11 to be saying anything nice about Gymshark.
05:13 They will never sponsor me
05:14 because I do too many videos of their dupes.
05:16 So some features of the leggings,
05:17 it looks like they have kind of a little wrapped
05:20 front detail, which is kind of cute
05:21 'cause it goes higher on the sides,
05:23 which usually is like muffin top region.
05:25 Then shows a little more like front ab region.
05:27 And then they have this like little like,
05:29 oh, I thought this was metal.
05:31 It's like a little plastic Gymshark logo.
05:34 It's just okay for me.
05:35 They have a little like strappy detail
05:36 at the bottom of the leg, which is cute.
05:39 And they have no front seam at the front.
05:41 So maybe that should prevent from camel toe.
05:43 The sports bra, I accidentally got an extra small.
05:45 So we'll see if I can fit into it.
05:48 But I got the wrapped bralette.
05:49 They said it's a light support.
05:51 Same little plastic logo on the back here.
05:53 And then it has these little wrap around these straps,
05:55 which I thought were kind of fun and different.
05:57 Very cute.
05:58 And it has this little cutout detail in the front.
06:00 So I really liked this color.
06:01 They have a lot of other really cute colors.
06:03 But overall, I am liking this so far.
06:06 I'm pretty sure Hell is just having to try on leggings
06:09 in 80 degree humid houses
06:12 'cause I am sweating so much right now, guys.
06:13 So just pardon me, I'm doing my best.
06:15 Okay, I almost love everything about this poise set.
06:19 I'm actually pretty impressed.
06:20 I wasn't expecting to love it.
06:21 This fabric is just really like Gymshark's best fabric yet.
06:25 It really feels like the duo fabric they made before,
06:27 except in a solid color and not bacon legs like last time.
06:31 This top is great.
06:32 I have it in extra small.
06:33 I definitely could have done small.
06:34 I have a little boob spillage.
06:35 You can kind of see the pads, which I don't love.
06:37 I had to adjust the pads
06:38 to make sure they weren't in weird places.
06:41 I actually think this wrap detailing is really cute.
06:44 I didn't know how many times to wrap it around.
06:47 I just kind of did a little wrap situation
06:50 and hope for the best.
06:51 I don't know how practical this is for actual gym use.
06:54 Even for yoga, you might step on it.
06:56 So you probably wanna make sure
06:57 that this doesn't hang too long.
07:00 But the top is actually really cute.
07:02 I'm really conflicted here
07:03 because I honestly feel like they're very flattering.
07:06 They're super lightweight.
07:07 I don't feel like they're squishing me down
07:09 anywhere too much.
07:10 They have a little bit of compression.
07:12 I really actually like this little wrap waist.
07:14 I think it's a really cute detail.
07:15 It's like a little, covers the sides a little more,
07:17 shows a little more abs, which I like.
07:19 They also have this little detailing
07:20 on the back of the leg, which is very cute.
07:23 My only thing is I don't understand
07:24 why they put these seams right under the butt.
07:27 I was just like, I just ran into my mom in the hallway
07:29 and she was like, yeah,
07:29 it doesn't really do much for your butt.
07:32 It kind of feels like they did it
07:33 to add an extra layer of fabric over the butt,
07:35 maybe to make them squat proof.
07:37 I feel like I'm getting a lot of compression here
07:38 and then not as much in the legs.
07:40 So it's a little weird,
07:42 but I'm not getting camel toe
07:43 'cause these don't have a front seam.
07:45 Okay, they also have the side pockets.
07:47 So yeah, I'm not sure about these.
07:48 Everything feels really good except for this really weird,
07:50 the little, like, below butt seam.
07:52 (upbeat music)
07:54 So then I got this peach color of the Dreamy 2.0s.
08:04 I've actually never had a pair of the Dreamys.
08:05 I had like a similar shape to this,
08:07 but they weren't the Dreamys.
08:08 This fabric, it's different than the Poise,
08:10 but it feels very similar in touch.
08:12 It's just like a heavier fabric.
08:13 Like the Poise fabric feels much lighter than this.
08:15 This is a little like more dense and heavy.
08:17 These are made of 67% polyester, 33% elastane.
08:21 So it is a little different than the Poise,
08:23 but these honestly still feel like super soft.
08:25 They do have a top seam, which I don't love.
08:29 I just don't know like exactly how flattering these are.
08:31 I feel like these are more like comfy instead of flattering.
08:33 And they also have a pocket down the side.
08:35 I also kind of got these to see if they'd be squat proof
08:38 because this is a very light color.
08:39 You never know.
08:40 Gymshark sometimes struggles with the squat proofness.
08:43 And I have to say with the Dreamy leggings,
08:45 after trying on the Poise leggings,
08:47 I don't really love how these feel.
08:49 They feel like a little bit like, I don't know.
08:52 They're just like a little thick
08:53 and they don't have like the most stretch to them.
08:55 The Poise fabric was literally so much better.
08:58 If you can deal with the weird under butt line
09:00 of the Poise leggings, I would definitely go for those.
09:02 For these, I just feel like I had a little bit of camel toe
09:04 when I first tried them on.
09:06 I'm getting a little bagging around here
09:08 and the Poise leggings were very smooth.
09:10 The Poise leggings, I also didn't feel like
09:11 they were cutting into my waist here.
09:13 And this elastic around this waistband is just very tight
09:16 and I feel like it cuts in a lot.
09:18 So it's not going to be very muffin top friendly.
09:20 I don't really know if it's flattering in the butt or not.
09:22 I feel like it's okay.
09:23 I feel like it's not really giving me
09:24 a lot of butt separations,
09:26 just kind of going across here.
09:28 So I think that the Dreamy leggings are okay.
09:31 I probably wouldn't buy them again.
09:32 They're definitely a very soft fabric,
09:34 but it's just a little bit too compressive for me.
09:37 And the Poise leggings are just much better.
09:39 Those are just very soft and smooth.
09:41 [upbeat music]
09:43 And lastly, I got the mesh layer set.
09:51 So I kind of wanted to get the pattern
09:53 just because they'd be like kind of fun.
09:55 And also I was mostly interested in the sports bra.
09:58 It looks like it has a lot of support.
09:59 It's got like a double layer situation.
10:01 It has this mesh layer,
10:03 which is why they're called the mesh layers probably.
10:06 And then it has this like more like, I don't know,
10:09 real athletic material fabric underneath.
10:11 And this fabric is definitely like a slicker material
10:14 and definitely like a performance material.
10:16 And then they have this thick elastic band
10:18 around the bottom, which should offer a lot of support.
10:22 Some other things that make them seem
10:23 very high support to me.
10:24 So it has like two sets of straps.
10:26 It has this mesh one,
10:27 and then it also has like adjustable straps.
10:29 And the back of it is actually like has a bra closure.
10:33 So this should actually be pretty high support.
10:35 And so I got the extra small leggings
10:37 and this is the size of the waist.
10:40 This is barely wider than my head.
10:45 I literally don't know how anyone fits into this.
10:48 Like, was this a mistake?
10:49 Like this actually looks like the tiniest thing
10:51 I've ever seen.
10:52 Like I seriously don't know
10:53 if I'm going to be able to get these on.
10:55 So these kind of have like an asymmetric
10:57 like pocket detailing in the front,
10:58 which is like kind of weird.
10:59 It's like a mesh pocket.
11:01 And then they just kind of have some little mesh detailing
11:04 going down the bottom.
11:05 You can't really see it when I'm just holding it up
11:07 'cause it's so similar to the other fabric.
11:08 But this definitely is a very lightweight
11:10 like performance slick material.
11:12 Hello, I would just like to point out
11:13 that this is the waistband and this is my thigh.
11:17 And this is how far it's getting up
11:19 because apparently my thigh
11:20 is the size of some people's waist.
11:22 All right, not wearing these ones.
11:24 So as we can see,
11:25 I'm not going to be able to try on the mesh layer leggings.
11:27 I just wanted to do a quick experiment
11:30 and hold up a waist size of a size small legging
11:33 and this size extra small.
11:35 I have these lined up over here, people.
11:39 Lined up and this mesh layer legging in an extra small
11:43 is literally half the size of the waist
11:46 of the small legging.
11:47 So I'm just going to go ahead and say
11:48 that these run really small.
11:50 That's all I have to say about these.
11:51 I'm not sure I'd recommend these just because of that.
11:53 'Cause like I don't even know what size you would order.
11:55 The sports bra is actually okay for me.
11:58 I think that the high neck is really cute.
12:00 I like the little mesh detailing.
12:01 This little elastic is very supportive.
12:04 The bra closure allows for a lot of support
12:06 and I like that the straps are adjustable
12:07 in case they're too big.
12:09 I'd say this is high support.
12:10 Like I could go running in this,
12:12 but like I don't run because why would I do that to myself?
12:16 So yeah, actually would recommend the sports bra.
12:19 Maybe not in this color,
12:20 but they have a lot of solid colors.
12:21 So would recommend that.
12:23 The leggings, those are for toddlers.
12:26 So no.
12:27 I feel like Whitney Simmons
12:28 with like a little glow right now,
12:29 but it's really just sweat
12:30 because it's really hot in here.
12:31 Yeah, that is everything that I got.
12:33 Things I would recommend,
12:34 I loved the poise set and the poise fabric.
12:36 The only thing was like the little lower booty line.
12:38 If you can get over that,
12:39 then I think that's really cute.
12:41 Definitely not the power down set.
12:43 I mean, that just felt like really cheap, honestly.
12:45 And they were maternity clothes, let's be real.
12:48 The mesh layer leggings run incredibly small
12:51 and I'm just like a little confused about all that,
12:53 but the mesh layer sports bra,
12:54 if you have a larger chest, I'm a 32 triple D.
12:57 So sometimes I do look for a higher sport sports bra
12:59 if I'm doing like a little more, you know,
13:01 jostling activity.
13:03 This would definitely be a good bra.
13:04 It has a lot of really good features.
13:06 So not a total fail for Gymshark.
13:08 Definitely some like a little questionable items in here,
13:11 but thank you guys so much for watching.
13:13 I will link one of my last Gymshark reviews over here
13:17 if you're interested in seeing
13:18 some of the references I made in this video.
13:20 But yeah, thank you guys so much for watching
13:21 and I'll see you next time.
13:22 Bye.
