Omorpho Weighted and Unweighted Bottoms We Tried and Our Honest Thoughts

When it comes to workout gear, the right pair of bottoms can make or break your session. You know the feeling, when shorts ride up during squats, or leggings that promise a “perfect fit” feel more like a straitjacket after a few burpees. That’s why we had to put Omorpho’s bottoms to the test. From weighted tights that bring a whole new challenge to your workouts, to shorts designed for unrestricted movement, we wore them through runs, lifts, HIIT, and everything in between.

How Weighted Bottoms Work and Why They Might Be the Missing Piece in Your Training

Weighted clothing isn’t just for the upper body. Omorpho’s Gravity Sportswear™ concept extends to the lower body, creating gear that challenges your legs, core, and glutes in every move. Adding subtle resistance to the hips and thighs makes squats feel deeper, lunges more stable, and even a casual walk becomes a muscle-firing session.

The idea is simple that small amounts of weight, distributed evenly across the body, to increase muscle engagement without disrupting your form. Science backs this up, weighted resistance has been shown to improve strength, power, and endurance when used correctly. But do Omorpho’s weighted bottoms actually deliver on that promise in real workouts? We wore them for a week. Here's how it went.

G-Tight 2: The Leg Day Essential

The Omorpho G-Tight 2 is the kind of gear that quietly challenges your entire lower body until you realize you’re sore in places you didn’t even know you worked. Priced at $119 and available in sleek black and red, these leggings weigh in at 1.5 lbs and are available in sizes small to XL. The idea behind the G-Tight is simple but effective: turn gravity into a training tool. With targeted MicroLoad™ technology, the weight is distributed across the largest muscle groups in your legs, giving you a subtle yet consistent resistance throughout every lunge, squat, and sprint.

We took the G-Tight through its paces, studio workouts, HIIT circuits, and even a few uphill hikes. The verdict? It’s like wearing a pair of sleek, high-performance leggings that just happen to make your legs work harder. The sweat-wicking, breathable fabric felt like a second skin, while the 4-way stretch meant we never felt restricted, even during deep squats. The elastic waistband stays put (thank you, no awkward readjusting mid-burpee), and the Omorpho weighted vestpairing was a natural fit. After a week of testing, we can say the G-Tight makes every workout a little more intense without feeling like you’re dragging extra weight.

G-Base Short: The Everyday Challenger

Sometimes you just need that no-fuss, do-it-all pair of shorts and the Omorpho G-Base Short absolutely delivers. Retailing at $99 in black or heather, and available in sizes XS to 2XL, these shorts bring 1.5 lbs of weight right to your thighs, subtly adding resistance to any lower body workout. The weight distribution feels natural, thanks to the honeycomb pattern design, and the beauty is how easily they blend into whatever workout you’re doing.

We wore the G-Base Short for everything, soccer scrimmages, HIIT classes, and even a couple of long, sweaty hikes and they delivered on all fronts. The woven fabric is breathable, sweat-wicking, and stretches with you, never bunching or sagging no matter how much you move. The compression fit hugs your legs, and while you’ll barely notice the weight at first, trust us, you’ll feel it later. The shorts are machine-washable (thankfully), and with their versatile fit, they layer seamlessly under other gear like the Omorpho weighted vest for an added challenge. If you’re looking for an easy way to level up your workouts without overthinking it, the G-Base Short is a solid pick.

G-Short 2-in-1: Your Go-To for Dynamic Training

Priced at $119, this versatile piece comes in a range of sizes and colors to suit different needs. It’s a two-in-one design, with a lightweight, breathable outer layer and an inner compression short that packs 1.5 lbs of MicroLoad™ resistance.

We wore the G-Short 2-in-1 everywhere: group fitness classes, sweaty spin sessions, long runs, and even a yoga flow (yes, it stretches that well). The elastic waistband with a drawcord keeps everything secure, and the slip-in pockets (plus a zip pocket!) are super handy when you’re on the move. The sweat-wicking fabric keeps you cool, while the extra weight subtly kicks up the intensity, especially during squats, lunges, and core work. According to Omorpho reviews, the G-Short has earned a 4.7-star rating, and we’re inclined to agree. It’s the kind of piece you reach for again and again when you want your workouts to feel a little tougher in the best way.

O-Short: Lightweight, No-Frills, Pure Comfort

Not every piece of workout gear needs to be weighted, and the Omorpho O-Short is proof of that. Priced at $39 and available in two colors and sizes small to XL, these unweighted shorts are the kind of no-frills staple you’ll find yourself wearing on repeat.
