Maternity fitness is finally being taken seriously. From Olympian Jessica Ennis-Hill’s tailored Jennis Pregnancy programme to Pilates PT Hollie Grant’s The Bump Plan, expert advice for expectant mums is becoming more accessible. And, with it, there has been an explosion of functional maternity gym leggings and fitnesswear from the likes of Nike and adidas. Here are some of our favourites…
Of course, always check with your doctor before embarking on a new exercise regime.
Best maternity gym leggings and fitnesswear brands
H&M
These are our favourite maternity workout leggings. The high-waisted panel means plenty of room for a growing bump and the fast-drying material means you never overheat. Coming in at under £20, these are a total bargain.

Nike
Both the sports bra and the running tights from Nike’s new maternity range are designed to fit and shift with your changing body. The leggings have a flexible waistband that can be used for full-bump support or folded down for a more relaxed style. The maternity sports bra can be used pre and post-natal while breastfeeding. It’s not too tight, offering medium support and can be adjusted.
