HeyNuts Workout Pro 7/8 Leggings with Side Pockets - High Waisted Fit

In this review the HeyNuts Workout Pro 7/8 Leggings are assessed for women who want a structured, everyday training pant that doubles as casual wear. The bottom line: these leggings hold you in with reliable compression and a wide high-rise waistband, making them a solid choice for yoga, gym sessions, and errands. The reviewer found the fabric unexpectedly soft yet thick enough to be squat proof, with a true-to-description 25' inseam and practical side pockets that accommodate most phones.

Key Features

• High waist tummy control: The wide waistband provides extra coverage and compression that flattens the midsection without cutting in during movement.
• Supportive ML005 fabric: Built from HeyNuts' ML005 material, it balances comfort with durable compression for a sculpting feel that still moves with you.
• Side stash pockets: Deep side pockets keep essentials like a phone or keys secure while freeing your hands for workouts or daily tasks.
• 7/8 length, 25' inseam: The ankle-length cut works well for most trainers and pairs cleanly with sneakers or slides for everyday wear.
• Butt-lift and slimming: The cut and compression combine to enhance the silhouette and provide a lifted look without excessive tightness.
• Stay-put design: The construction aims to minimize rolling or slipping during activity when sized correctly.

Who It's For

These leggings suit women who want a versatile pair for both workouts and daily life: yogis, gym-goers, and anyone who prefers a high-rise, 7/8 length with pocket storage. The blend of compression and softness appeals to those who value a shaping fit but still want comfortable fabric against the skin.

Shoppers looking for maximum compression or medical-grade shaping should look elsewhere, and those who prefer full-length tights beyond a 25' inseam should consider other cuts. If your waist measurement falls between sizes, the brand recommends choosing the larger size to reduce the chance of the waistband rolling down.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Buttery-soft fabric that resists pilling while offering a noticeable amount of compression.
• Deep, upgraded side pockets that fit most phone sizes and keep items secure during movement.
• High-rise, wide waistband provides effective tummy control and a flattering silhouette.
• Thick enough material to be squat proof and provide anticellulite coverage.

Cons

• Some users report occasional rolling down if sized too small, so sizing up is recommended when between sizes.
