Bally Total Fitness Women's Legacy Tummy Control Pant - High Rise

Our review of the Bally Total Fitness Women's The Legacy Tummy Control Pant finds it best suited to women who want a dependable, shaping active pant for yoga, gym sessions, or everyday wear. The single biggest reason to buy is the 4' shaped high-rise waistband with power mesh lining, which provides noticeable tummy coverage and slimming compression without feeling overly restrictive. The pants balance a soft, non-sheer fabric with enough stretch to move with you, and the construction aims for both function and a flattering silhouette.

Key Features

• 4' shaped waistband: the high-rise band includes a power mesh lining that smooths the waistline and offers light compression for a sleeker profile.
• V back seaming: the V shaped back seaming detail is designed to shape and accentuate the butt for a more defined look from behind.
• Coolmax gusset: a Coolmax gusset helps wick moisture to keep the crotch area cooler and more comfortable during activity.
• 32' inseam: the full-length 32 in inseam suits taller wearers or those who prefer ankle coverage with most sneakers or flats.
• Soft, sturdy fabric: customers note the material feels soft to the touch while holding up well to regular wear without appearing sheer.

Who It's For

This pant is aimed at women who practice yoga, work out at the gym, or want an active pant that doubles as casual everyday wear. The shaping waistband and V seaming make it a good pick for anyone looking for modest tummy control and a more sculpted rear silhouette without heavy compression.

Those who need very tight, high-compression shaping or who prefer cropped lengths should look elsewhere, as these are moderate-compression, full-length pants with a focus on comfort and versatility rather than maximal shaping or a short inseam.
