Shop Maternity Gym Clothes at Myprotein

Staying active through pregnancy takes the right kit — and maternity gym clothes designed specifically for a changing body make all the difference. The MP maternity gym wear range is built around stretch, comfort, and adaptability, so whether you're in your first trimester or heading back to the gym postnatally, there's something that fits where you are right now.

From over-the-bump leggings to maternity nursing sports bras, every piece in the collection is cut to accommodate your bump while keeping you feeling secure and confident through every session. This is maternity activewear designed to move with you, not against you.

Who This Collection Is For

This range is for women who want to keep moving during pregnancy and beyond. Whether you're a regular gym-goer adjusting your routine, a yoga or Pilates fan, or someone picking up exercise for the first time during pregnancy, maternity workout clothes that actually fit your body properly will make those sessions feel far more manageable.

It's also built with the fourth trimester in mind. Postnatal leggings and nursing-friendly sports bras mean the range doesn't stop being useful the moment you give birth — these pieces are designed to carry you through the early weeks and months after, too.

When to Wear Maternity Gym Clothes

Maternity sportswear isn't just for the gym. These pieces work across low-impact training like prenatal yoga, Pilates, and swimming, right through to walking, light running, and strength work — wherever your midwife or doctor has given you the green light to train. The stretch fabrics and over-the-bump designs hold their shape across a full range of movement, so they're just as comfortable in a studio class as they are on a casual walk.

Day-to-day wear is just as valid a use case. Maternity exercise clothes that feel good during a workout often double up as comfortable everyday pieces — ideal for those days when the line between active and relaxed is blurred entirely.

Key Features

Over-the-Bump Waistbands

The over-the-bump waistband design sits above the bump rather than cutting across it, giving a smooth, comfortable fit that doesn't dig in or roll down mid-session. It's one of the most practical features in any piece of pregnancy gym clothes.

Stretch Fabrics That Move With You

The fabrics used across the maternity activewear range are chosen for their four-way stretch, so leggings, shorts, and tops flex and recover as your body moves. Nothing pulls, bags, or loses its shape, even as your bump grows.

Nursing-Friendly Design

The maternity nursing sports bra is built with easy access in mind for breastfeeding, making it a piece that stays useful long after birth. It's designed to feel secure during light to moderate activity without sacrificing practicality.

Bump-Accommodating Cuts

Every piece in the range is cut to accommodate a growing bump, with proportions and panelling that work across different stages of pregnancy. There's no awkward bunching or pulling — just a clean, comfortable fit throughout.

FAQs

What makes maternity gym clothes different from regular gym wear?

Maternity gym clothes are specifically cut to accommodate a growing bump, with waistbands, panelling, and proportions designed to work across different stages of pregnancy. Over-the-bump waistbands sit above the bump rather than cutting across it, fabrics are chosen for greater stretch, and cuts are adjusted to avoid pulling or bunching as your body changes — things standard gym wear simply isn't designed to do.

What size should I buy in maternity gym wear?

It's generally recommended to choose your pre-pregnancy size. The stretchy fabrics and maternity-specific cuts are designed to accommodate your bump across all three trimesters, so you shouldn't need to size up. If you're ever between sizes, check the individual product size guides for specific measurements.

Can I wear maternity gym clothes after giving birth?

Yes — several pieces in the range are designed with the postnatal period in mind. The MP Women's Maternity Post Natal Leggings have a gentle waistband suited to recovery, and the Maternity Nursing Sports Bra includes nursing clips, making it a practical choice during the months after birth as well as during pregnancy.

What workouts are these maternity clothes suitable for?

The range is well suited to low to moderate intensity exercise including prenatal yoga, Pilates, walking, light strength training, and studio classes. The stretch fabrics and over-the-bump designs hold up across a wide range of movement, making them a flexible choice for most activities recommended during pregnancy. Always follow your midwife or doctor's guidance on what exercise is right for you at each stage.

How do I care for maternity gym clothes to keep them in good condition?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle and avoid tumble drying where possible — heat can break down stretch fibres over time. Turning garments inside out before washing helps to maintain the fabric's appearance. Always check the individual care label on each garment for specific instructions.

Who designed the maternity gym wear range?

The maternity gym wear range was designed by Myprotein's in-house design team, developed specifically to meet the needs of active women during pregnancy and the postnatal period.

Are there maternity gym clothes for different body temperatures during pregnancy?

The range includes both full-length leggings and over-the-bump cycling shorts, giving you options depending on how warm you run during training. The cycling shorts are a popular choice for those who prefer less coverage, particularly in warmer environments or during higher intensity sessions.

Can maternity gym clothes be worn as everyday clothing?

Absolutely. The clean, minimal styling of pieces like the maternity leggings and flared leggings means they work just as well as day-to-day clothing as they do for the gym. Comfortable waistbands and soft stretch fabrics make them a practical choice for wearing around the house or out and about, not just during workouts.
