Interval Short
Gabe Snow
The challenge
The Interval Short is built for versatility. Constructed with four-way stretch to ensure maximum range of motion and a cling-free, ultra-wicking shell for mobility, the Interval Short was constructed to handle everything from HIIT to CrossFit to bootcamps. As a bodybuilder and trainer at one of NYC’s top studios, Gabe is constantly shifting gears, moving from powerlifting to bodybuilding to endurance cycling. That’s why we set him up with a pair of our Interval Shorts. To put their versatility to the test, Gabe built an exhausting, no-holds-barred workout to complete in his gear – one that would test the shorts’ ability to handle all the movements and quick transitions he could throw at them.

The Verdict
BOTTOM LINE: THEY ARE TOUGH
The Interval Short is by far the most versatile short on the market today. Working long days as a personal trainer in NYC means that I rarely know when or where I will be getting my own training in that day. The Interval Short grants me access to whatever modality I choose that day - from cycling to lifting to turf work - without hesitation.
