Pros

Armour® Mid Crossback Heathered Sports Bra

This is made from a second-skin-feel 4-way stretch fabric that allows you to move in any direction and not have to worry about feeling restricted. Even though the material is extremely soft, this sports bra offers intense support.

Cons

Our girls say this sports bra runs a bit small, so if you are in between sizes, we suggest you size up!

Bottom Line

This supportive sports bra can be worn alone as a crop top, or underneath your favorite exercise tank. We love this choice for those women who have smaller breasts, as the straps are small.

Pros

Energy Bra Long Line

The thick band allows for amazing support, you won’t experience shifting during movements, and it won’t cut into your back like most bras do. The extra coverage is nice for sweat junkies that are bra cup sizes A-C.

Cons

For our sweat junkies that are a size D and above, this may not be the choice for you if you don’t like to show cleavage. Our girls notice the thick band is tighter than what they are used to, so keep that in mind when you are picking your size.

Bottom Line

This is by far one of the favorites when it comes to the perfect sports bras for our sweat junkies. You can wear it to spin, weight lifting, and high impact circuit training with ease, support, and comfort.

Pros

Don’t be fooled by the price, because this sports bra is constructed in a way that prevents rubbing on the skin, and the racerback straps allow for awesome support.

Cons

Some of our sweat junkies say this runs a tad small, so if you’re in between sizes, size up.

Bottom Line

This high impact sports bra is the perfect option for our gals that love high intensity circuit training, running, and boxing—but are also a bit more willing to splurge.

I would say the most difficult piece of fitness attire to find is the sports bra. It’s hard to find a sports bra that doesn’t rub under the armpits, cut too hard into your back and shoulders, and— most importantly—supports the girls the way they should be supported during high impact exercise.
