Men's Athletic Shorts

Chubbies Workout & Athletic Shorts – Not Just for Roundhouse Kicks

Comfortable, flexible, aerodynamic and most of all utterly radical. Chubbies gym shorts are everything a short should be and MORE.

As your purveyors of thigh freedom and proper-length men’s shorts, we couldn’t just stop at swim trunks and casual shorts. No. That wouldn’t be enough.

We said to ourselves “You know basketball players, Olympic sprinters, & beach volleyball players in the 80s? They looked super cool doing athletic things in short workout shorts. We should bring those to the masses.” And we did.

And we did it In a variety of inseams to match whatever your proper length athletic short is. Whether you want 4-inch workout shorts, 5.5” workout shorts, or 7” workout shorts, we got you. However, if you’re looking for that early 2000s baggy below-the-knee basketball short trend, then we probably don’t got you on that.

Once you’ve picked the perfect length workout short, your next question is probably, “Do you wear anything under gym shorts?”

And honestly, you should probably wear something underneath. That’s why we offer a selection of compression-lined gym shorts. Chafing at the gym is never fun, so we designed perfect compression liners that hug and support all of the places that need to be hugged and supported. We also carry some styles that are unlined as well, so you can make the decision on what to wear underneath.

Below you’ll find some more in-depth information about our workout shorts so you can compare them to each other and figure out which short suits your gym short needs the best.
