Gymnastics Clothing

From first tumble to competition floor, find gymnastics wear built to move, stretch and hold its shape through every routine.



Leotard, or crop top and shorts, which actually suits gymnastics better?

A full leotard like the Energetiks Millie Leotard Child stays put through inversions and tumbling passes in a way a two-piece set can't always guarantee, so nothing rides up mid-routine.

A crop top and short combo, like the Energetiks Tate Crop Top Child paired with the Energetiks Kylie Short Child, gives more freedom through the midsection for flexibility-heavy training, and is often preferred for conditioning classes rather than competition.

Browse the Leotards, Crop Tops and Shorts ranges separately if you're building a mix-and-match training wardrobe rather than one fixed outfit.

Camisole strap or full tank leotard, does the strap style actually matter?

Camisole straps, like on the Energetiks Isabelle Camisole Leotard Child, sit thinner and give a cleaner competition line, but offer less coverage for high-impact tumbling.

A tank-style leotard such as the Energetiks Meg Tank Leotard Child has a wider strap that stays secure through inversions and repetitive tumbling, which matters more for training than for a one-off competition look.

For competition day specifically, check with your club or judge's guidelines before assuming either style is acceptable. Some codes are stricter on strap width than others.

What's the difference between the boy leg short and a standard short?

The Energetiks Oakley Boy Leg Short Child sits with a longer leg line than a standard gym short, which some dancers prefer for coverage during floor work and inversions.

A regular short like the Energetiks Kylie Short Adult sits higher on the leg, better suited to warm weather training or classes where full leg coverage isn't a priority.

Neither is right or wrong. It comes down to personal coverage preference and the specific movements in the routine.

Child versus adult sizing, is the fit really different or just scaled up?

Fit block changes, not just measurements. The Energetiks Sophie Leotard Child and Energetiks Sophie Leotard Adult are the same design but cut on different torso proportions, so don't assume the largest child size is equivalent to the smallest adult size.

Check the sizing charts per style before ordering, especially around a growth spurt or a transition between size ranges.
