What we LOVED about Athleta Elation Ultra High-Rise
- Exceptional Comfort: Made with Powervita™ fabric, these leggings are ultra-soft and feel almost weightless, allowing full focus on form and flow during exercises.
- Flexible Fit: The fabric is stretchy and non-restrictive, perfect for Pilates movements that require a full range of motion, like leg circles, footwork, and spinal articulation.
- Secure High Waist: The ultra-high-rise waistband provides a secure, snug fit around the core, helping you feel grounded during challenging balance exercises like side planks or standing footwork.
- Smooth, Minimal Design: With no side seams or external pockets, these leggings have a sleek look and feel that won’t interfere with equipment or get caught on springs and straps.
- Moisture-Wicking: The fabric wicks away moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable even during sweatier sessions or under studio lights.
- Non-Slip Material: The soft, brushed finish of the fabric offers slight grip against the reformer, helping maintain position on the carriage during exercises like plank to pike or bridge work.
- Body-Hugging Fit: These leggings stay close to the skin, making it easier for instructors to see body alignment and form, aiding in adjustments and feedback.
- Moderate Compression: While not overly compressive, they provide gentle support that’s ideal for Pilates, where comfort and subtle support enhance mindful movement rather than restricting it.
These leggings are well-suited to the demands of Pilates, where flexibility, comfort, and secure fit all play a role in an effective workout.

What to think about before buying this product
The Athleta Elation Ultra High Rise Leggings come in a premium price range, which may be a consideration for some. They are designed with lightweight compression, so if you prefer a more compressive feel, you may want to consider other options. Additionally, the ultra-high waistband provides full coverage.
