Amazon's £31 gym leggings are ‘just as good' as Lululemon's £88 Align pair
Shoppers have been praising Amazon's £31 workout leggings for being 'super comfortable' and 'just as good' as high end brands like Lululemon and Adanola for a fraction of the price When it comes to workout leggings, there are a few things that are absolute non-negotiables. They have to fit well, be comfortable, and of course, pass the squat test. Although usually we tend to turn to higher end brands to guarantee quality, it seems Amazon shoppers have found a pair that are 'just as good' as brands like Lululemon and Adanola, but for a fraction of the price. The CRZ YOGA Women's Butterluxe 25'' Yoga Leggings have been praised for everything from their comfort to their softness, with them being compared favourably to the high end names. Despite their quality, the leggings are a very affordable pick, priced at £31 and available in sizes six to 16. Just like Lululemon's cult favourite Align leggings, which retail for £88, the leggings have a 25 inch inseam for that 7/8 length that sits above the ankle. However unlike the Lululemon leggings, you can only opt for the 25' inseam, rather than picking from multiple lengths, which may be tricky if you're taller or have longer legs. The CRZ YOGA Butterluxe 25'' Yoga Leggings are also made from 'butterluxe' fabric, which is super soft and ultra stretchy, offering a gentle compression that's perfect for exercising in. They have a high waist and wide waistband which provides that support and sculpting that makes workout leggings so comfortable. A seamless design prevents chafing and rubbing whilst moving around, and they're designed to be fully squat proof, so you don't need to worry about the material stretching thin when you bend over. The CRZ YOGA Butterluxe 25'' Yoga Leggings also come in a massive 31 different colours, from neutrals like brown, black and grey to bold shades like red, blue and purple. Other leggings which give you plenty of colour options, not to mention a diverse sizing range and plenty of coverage, are the Vital Leggings from Gym Shark. You can choose from nine colours, with a seamless design, high wide waistband, and sizes XXS to XXL. If you prefer a flared silhouette, Sweaty Betty's Power Gym Flared Leggings are currently on sale with 50% off, slashed from £90 to £45 – meaning now is the perfect time to get your hands on them. They have a choice of inseam lengths, a good range of sizes and various dark hues to pick from. However, if you fancy trying out the £31 CRZ YOGA Butterluxe 25'' Yoga Leggings then you're in good company, because they have more than 3,500 five star reviews on Amazon. One said: 'Cannot fault these leggings. I was a tad sceptical but they are honestly so good!! I am a big Lululemon Align fan and these are just as good. Super soft, stretchy and a really nice fit. I know some people mention they bobble but so do lulus and they are 90 quid a time so I'd much rather buy these for a third of the price. I will be ordering many more!!' A second agreed: 'After purchasing ADANOLA leggings for a few years I thought it was time to try something else. I was so surprised! These leggings are fantastic, so soft, not see through and fit lovely! I usually get a large but in this case got a medium and they fit perfectly! So pleased and will be repurchasing!' Whilst a third added: 'Fit so well they're super comfortable. They look so good on. Amazing quality. Very quick delivery.' The main complaint shoppers had was that they bobbled after a few uses, with one shopper writing: 'These are super buttery soft when they first arrive but after a few washes (2 months possibly) they start to bobble quite bad.' Another agreed: 'Lovely fabric and fit. However I've only worn them twice and the seem down the middle of the inside leg is already bobbling. Annoyed considering the price. Had cheaper leggings which haven't done this.' However, despite this flaw most shoppers are delighted with the CRZ YOGA Butterluxe 25'' Yoga Leggings. One happy shopper said: 'The quality is incredible! Will never buy Lululemon again. So impressed. Fits like a glove. Buttery smooth.' Whilst another reviewer chimed in: 'Great quality. Very similar to my lululemon leggings only difference is the price. Will be buying again in different colour.' Finally, one wrote: 'The soft and stretchy fabric make these so comfortable you will want to wear them all day, they met my expectations and as comparable to Lululemon align so these are a steal! Will definitely buy again.'

One Transporter, Two Critial Jobs: Align Production Systems Delivers Dual-Use SAV
Read the Full Case Study ST. LOUIS, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A leading North American metal stamping facility has partnered with Align Production Systems to solve a common challenge in metal stamping environments, transporting heavy steel coils and large stamping dies using a single piece of equipment. The result is a custom-built Semi-Autonomous Vehicle (SAV) that navigates independently using magnetic pucks embedded in the floor but requires an operator to activate a controller switch. The stamping facility needed to move coils of various sizes up to 72″ × 72″ and dies of various sizes up to 96″ × 190″—sometimes in the same shift. Traditionally, this would require two different machines, adding operational complexity and unnecessary cost. Align's engineering team developed a dual-purpose flatbed SAV using a V-cradle for coil support with vertical poles for coil stabilization and rail inserts to support die transport, allowing fast reconfiguration between load types. 'This design gives the customer flexibility to switch between coil and die transport quickly, without needing multiple machines,' said Rachel Larson, Mechanical Engineer at Align Production Systems. Built to handle up to 80,000 pounds, the SAV uses magnetic puck navigation embedded in the facility floor for semi-autonomous movement, guided by an operator using a handheld control switch. A lithium-ion battery powers the unit and includes Wi-Fi connectivity, onboard accessory storage for poles, and operator stairs, making it future-ready for full AGV upgrades. With the SAV now in operation, plant personnel can: Transport both coils and dies using one machine Change the deck quickly with modular accessories Load and unload safely using integrated stairs Lay the foundation for long-term AGV automation The project highlights Align's ability to engineer flexible, scalable equipment that evolves with manufacturers' production needs. About Align Production SystemsAlign Production Systems specializes in advanced material handling equipment for heavy industry. With decades of experience, Align designs and manufactures custom solutions—including AGVs, transporters, turntables, and lifting systems—to improve safety, increase efficiency, and support automation across a range of industrial applications.
