In the quest to find the very best leggings one can buy - turns out Zara McDermott has some Amazon gym leggings to shout about. We're listening...

When the ex-Love Island contestant shared her favourite pair of Amazon gym leggings, we simply needed to know more. If there is something we are fussy about, it's gym leggings.

However, her current go-to is a very affordable £19.99 leggings from Amazon. We'll take ten. A part of the scrunch-bum leggings family, these leggings will make your bee-hind look snatched at the gym. Or on your sofa eating ice cream. Either or. After the viral success of the scrunch bums and the honeycomb leggings, these influencers are truly embracing leggings as a way of life, and we couldn't be happier that it's in the form of budget-friendly Amazon gym leggings.

SHOP: Zara McDermott's prized leggings from Amazon

The best gym leggings loved by Zara McDermott

Tried and tested

They're also available in plenty of different colours, totally Zara-approved. High-waisted and squat-proof, these leggings have a ruching design to enlarge the sexy silhouette of your cheeks. Noice.

Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Figure flattering

Cons

  • May need to be bought more frequently

For sizing, she wrote on an Instagram story, "Amazon have the BEST gym leggings 😂". "They're sooo cheap. I got a size S, and I'm a size 6. They would probably fit a size 6 and 8." Reviews on the site strongly agree with Zara's sentiments. With a total of 620 five-star reviews, one happy buyer says "HONESTLY THESE WILL CHANGE UR LIFE!!!" Please, tell us more...

The reviewer continues (not shouting in all caps this time), "I am a size 14 and I would describe my arse as ‘square’. Honestly, I’m a boob girl and my bum doesn’t get noticed but THESE LEGGINGS HAVE GOT ME FEELING MYSELFFFFFF!!!! I ordered a size M and they fit perfectly. They don’t fall down, they make your booty poppin', and there's no camel toe. I will be walking into the gym Monday a new woman!"

Well if that review doesn't convince you, we don't know what will. Wait - yes we do! We took the opportunity to buy a pair to see for ourselves. Keep scrolling for our tried and tested review of the SLIMBELLE leggings from Aimee Jakes, Shopping Editor for heat and Closer...

"I tried the Amazon gym leggings that Zara McDermott swears by and honestly, I was expecting to hate them. But when they arrived, I was not only pleasantly surprised but had to tell everyone I know about them, They feel thick, good-quality with a really great stretch. I am a size 10 and after reading the reviews went for a medium and am so glad I did. The bum-sculpting detail is so flattering, they're squat-proof and they are comfy. Thanks, Zara McDermott for introducing me to these bargain beauties which could easily pass as Gymshark. Brb, off to get the amazon gym leggings in more colours - including a classic black legging number (it's a staple huns)."
