Pilates Studio Biker Shorts for Summer Class and Beyond

Pilates studio biker shorts have become the warm-weather staple in most boutique studio merch lines. Clients pick biker shorts over leggings for the May-through-September window, mat-pilates studios drive higher biker shorts demand than reformer studios, and the silhouette photographs cleanly on the Instagram feed. Below is the full biker shorts program with the design treatment that drives sales.

Why biker shorts sell in pilates studios

• Cooler than leggings for warm-weather mat classes and hot-room sessions
• More coverage than running shorts, more modesty than booty shorts
• Mat-pilates friendly (full range of motion, no waistband interference with seated positions)
• Pairs with the studio cropped tee or tank for a complete branded outfit
• Premium piece in the warm-weather merch lineup
