Choosing the Best Sport Bra for Your Workout

Looking for a little gym-spiration? Sometimes it takes finding the perfect sport bra. In the spirit of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, we’ve named our top workout styles in honor of the female athletes we admire the most.

At Wacoal, our expertly designed sport bras span the gamut, with a range of designs that work for different activity levels. As always, we believe support is everything.

However, not all activities require the same level of support. In other words, the higher your heart rate, the more support you need. Below, we’ll share some of our favorite styles, as well as how and why they fit into your workouts.
