Anthem Athletics Hyperflex Mens Gym Shorts 5ft 7ft 9ft Inseam fit

In this review the Anthem Athletics Hyperflex mens gym shorts stand out as a versatile option for men who want a balance of mobility and secure storage during workouts. The bottom line: these shorts are best for runners, lifters and anyone doing cross training who needs a flexible, medium-weight fabric and deep, zippered pockets. The review found the cut options and stretchy polyester/spandex blend deliver comfortable range of motion, while YKK zipper pockets keep essentials secure, making them a reliable daily training short.

Key Features

• Stretch performance fabric: The polyester/spandex blend offers enough elasticity for deep squats and high knees without feeling flimsy.
• Multiple inseam lengths: Available in 5 in, 7 in and 9 in so users can choose a length that typically falls 3-4 in above the knee, 1-2 in above the knee, or at the knee for personal preference.
• Zippered angled pockets: Large, deep pockets with YKK zippers keep a phone or keys secure and out of the way during runs or WODs.
• Moisture wicking: The medium-weight fabric manages sweat well during intense training while feeling slightly more substantial than thin running shorts.
• Adjustable fit: Elastic waistband with drawstring and flat-lock stitching provide a comfortable, durable fit that reduces chafing.

Who It's For

The Hyperflex shorts are ideal for men who split time between running, gym sessions, and cross training and want one short that handles all those activities. The three inseam choices make them suitable for those who like shorter running shorts or prefer a longer, more modest cut for squats and daily wear.

Men looking for a very lightweight racing short or a technical compression liner only should look elsewhere, as these are medium-weight performance shorts designed for durability and mobility rather than minimal weight.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Well-made material that feels substantial yet stretches for unrestricted movement.
• Deep, angled YKK zipper pockets that securely hold a phone during activity.
• Multiple inseam lengths let users pick the preferred coverage for running or lifting.

Cons

• Slightly heavier feel than ultra-light running shorts, which some speed-focused runners may not prefer.
