Cross Fit Shorts for all types of tough training

Description

If you train across multiple disciplines — or just want one pair of shorts that handles everything from bag work to gym sessions — these CrossFit training shorts are worth a look. At $23.00, they’re a practical, no-fuss option that won’t fall apart after a few months of hard training.

Why the fabric matters

The shorts are made from a lightweight, quick-dry, breathable fabric that’s specifically designed not to go slick with sweat. If you’ve ever worn cheap shorts that turn into a wet, clingy mess halfway through a session, you’ll know exactly why this matters. The anti-bacterial, anti-fungal treatment also means they stay fresher for longer — useful if you train multiple times a week and don’t always get to the washing machine straight away.

The anti-pilling and anti-static properties are less flashy but genuinely helpful. Anti-pilling means the fabric keeps its look after repeated washing, and anti-static means they won’t cling awkwardly during movement.

Movement and fit

The 15cm side splits are the most important design feature for martial artists. Whether you’re throwing head kicks, working low single-leg takedowns, or just doing deep squats in the gym, that extra give at the side makes a real difference. The shorts are also cut to work comfortably with or without compression wear underneath — so if you like to train in rash guards or compression shorts, these will fit over them without bunching up.

The closure is a velcro front fly with an internal drawstring. The drawstring lets you dial in the waist fit, and the velcro keeps things secure during grappling or ground work. If you train BJJ or wrestling, tuck the velcro tab down before rolling so it doesn’t scratch your training partner.

Construction

The stitching is triple-lock and flat — meaning the seams lie flat against the skin rather than standing proud. This is what prevents the inner thigh chafing that shows up in cheaper shorts after longer sessions. It also contributes to the overall durability; flat-lock stitching is harder to unpick under stress than standard stitching.

What these shorts are good for

These work well for:

• Gym and CrossFit sessions (squats, deadlifts, box jumps)
• Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA training
• Running and general cardio
• Bag work and pad sessions
• Casual grappling (though dedicated board shorts or compression shorts may be preferred for serious BJJ)

Where they’re less ideal: if you’re competing in a sport with a specific uniform requirement, these won’t substitute for proper Muay Thai shorts or MMA fight shorts. They’re training gear, not competition gear.

Sizing guide

These are available in S, M, L, and XL. Check the size chart image on this page before ordering — waist measurement is the most reliable guide. The shorts are designed to fit a range of body types, but if you’re between sizes and plan to wear compression underneath, size up.

Weight: 0.25 kg | Packed dimensions: 23 × 15 × 3 cm

Care instructions

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Air dry rather than tumble dry — heat will shorten the life of the elastic and fabric treatment. Don’t use fabric softener on technical fabrics; it coats the fibres and reduces breathability over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these shorts suitable for BJJ training?

They’ll work fine for casual drilling and light rolling, but if BJJ is your main discipline you might prefer dedicated board shorts or spats. The velcro closure can scratch training partners during close grappling — just tuck the tab down before you roll. For heavy sparring or competition, look at purpose-built BJJ shorts.

Can I wear these over compression shorts or rash guards?

Yes — they’re specifically designed to fit comfortably over compression wear. If you like to layer up for training, these should accommodate that without restricting movement or bunching around the hips.

How do I choose between S, M, L, and XL?

Use the waist measurement on the size chart as your primary guide. If you’re between sizes and plan to wear compression shorts underneath, size up. The internal drawstring gives you some adjustment range either way.

Will the fabric hold up to frequent washing?

The anti-pilling treatment and flat-lock stitching are both designed for durability through repeated washing. Wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry to get the longest life out of them. Avoid tumble drying and fabric softener — both shorten the life of the fabric’s technical properties.

Are these suitable for Muay Thai sparring?

For training sessions, yes — the side splits give you the hip mobility you need for roundhouse kicks and teeps. For competition or formal sparring where appearance matters, traditional Muay Thai shorts would be more appropriate. These are training shorts, not fight shorts.

Do you offer free shipping in Australia?

Yes — free shipping applies to all Australian orders over AUD $150. If your order is under that threshold, standard shipping rates apply. You can see the full details on our delivery page.
