Great for running in the sun
Great print, wash well and dry really quickly. Look great with other colours from the range. Wish the inner shorts were a tiny bit longer but that may just be my chubby legs!

Amazing Shorts
These shorts are brilliant. The fit is a little snug so I would size up - they have a drawstring if they're a little loose. I love the back pocket! It even fits my phone in it (11ProMax) the only back pocket I have found fits my phone in... The under shorts are so comfy and stop that inevitable chafing and the over layer is a very nice touch! #teamsweatybetty

Quality not as good as had hoped
They aren’t as tight fitting and comfy as I’d expected them to be after being recommended sweaty Betty. Also the customer service wasn’t great when trying to buy the shorts. But they are fine - just not worth the premium price tag.

Great running shorts
Having only taken up running during lockdown, I was a bit hesitant to spend too much on a pair of running shorts. Having taken the plunge I am not disappointed and wish I had bought them earlier. They sculpt your bottom and thighs and are so comfortable.

Flattering shape and very comfy
I use these for running and bodypump, very comfortable and the wide flat band round waist gives a flattering look.
They look exactly as it the picture.
I want to get a second pair now!

One of our colleagues at City, who is a similar size and shape, wears these in a size S. S is equivalent to a UK dress size 10.

The Challenge Shorts can fit up to an iPhone 8 typically. I can fit my iPhone XS in there but have to take my case off. I'm not sure whether an iPhone 11 would fit, it might be a bit tight! #teamsweatybetty

The inside shorts on our Challenge Shorts are made from the same material as our leggings, so will be sculpting and should stay put. They are also attached as one piece so will not ride up at the waist.

The Challenge Running Shorts are mid-rise. The adjustable drawcord also gives you extra flexibility in terms of fit!

Yes these shorts are made of a poly-elastane blend so no animal byproducts are used in the fabrication.

You unfortunately can't fit an iPhone X in the back pocket of the Challenge 4&quot; Running Shorts. If you were looking for a pair of shorts that would fit this phone model, we would highly recommend taking a look at our Zero Gravity Cycling Shorts, Power Cycling Shorts and Super Sculpt Cycling Shorts, as the side pocket in all of these styles will fit larger phones in them.
