As an avid gym-goer, I've tried a variety of workout leggings such as Nike, Under Armour, Target's All-in-Motion, Just Saiyan, and Gymshark. Nike and Under Armour have always fallen short in terms of comfort, coverage and affordability for me. Target's All-in-Motion have been the most comfortable to date, but they're hard to find in stock. Gymshark is the most aesthetically pleasing and decently comfortable, but they're expensive without a sale. Just Saiyan is decent at best and kind of pricey, but if you're not an anime fan, they're not for you. Lately, I've been on the market for something comfortable and affordable, and I don't really care about brand names anymore. So, after hours of reading through different comments and threads, I decided on Aoxjox. I have the exact dupe that they're trying to replicate (Gymshark's Vital Seamless 2.0 Collection), and even though it's an almost exact blend of materials, they feel and look different. If you didn't know brands or really looked, you wouldn't be able to tell, though. A major plus is that the band isn't excessively tight like Gymshark, so it's not going to feel uncomfortable, but it isn't as thick and durable. Aoxjox also doesn't have the black inner lining or dye (I'm not exactly sure what it is) that Gymshark has, which I have yet to find in other leggings. Maybe it's placebo, but I feel like that helps with sherness. Lastly, something about the way the Aoxjox leggings feel in my hands or having them on, is different. The best I could describe it as is that they're not "thick" and compressive like Gymshark. They feel very "skin-like" if that makes sense. I haven't worn them to the gym yet, but I recorded myself squatting, deadlifting and stretching in them. They're very soft, stretchy and comfortable, and from what I could tell, the dark colors that I had ordered (Black Marl, Navy Marl, Sangria Red, and Army Green) weren't sheer, but Fudge Coffee was absolutely see-through and a lot lighter in color than what I was expecting. Still, the "skin-like" texture makes me a little wary, and I'm not the type to go naked in public, so I think matching the colors to your underwear or wearing nude colors would be best. Overall, Aoxjox has a good balance of comfort, quality and affordability. I don't know about longevity, but they're not crazy expensive, they're stretchy and comfortable, and they look nice on the figure (especially with the high-waisted band). I really like them! Stick to the darker colors, match your underwear, and you'll be fine. These are a good alternative to name brands.
