Big test 2026: Best sports bra for training and an active lifestyle
We had five women test four sports bras over four weeks of training. One model stood out in almost every area.
Updated 12 August 2026 · Test period: 4 weeks · Test panel: 5 women, 29–52 years, size S to XXL
How we tested: Each bra was used during strength training, running, jump exercises, and everyday use. We rated five criteria: support during high intensity, comfort and chafing, how easy it is to put on and take off, adjustability, and quality after repeated washes. The ratings are the panel's average.

The popularity after the test has meant that some sizes sell out quickly
Why EmpowerFit won
Already after the first week, the panel was unusually unanimous. What decided it was the combination of three things that rarely exist in the same bra: real support during high intensity, a front closure that makes it easy to put on and take off, and adjustment in every place that matters.
In jump tests and running, EmpowerFit kept the breasts in place noticeably better than both the compression model and the budget option. At the same time, it was the only one in the test that did not chafe or pull in the arm folds, something three out of five testers otherwise described as their biggest annoyance with sports bras.
"I've never had a sports bra that I can tighten at the back so it fits exactly how I want. And I don't have to wriggle out of it after the workout. I'm still wearing it today, on my rest day."

Common questions
Does EmpowerFit fit larger cup sizes?
Yes. The panel tester with a larger bust gave it the highest rating of all, above all thanks to the fact that the support can be adjusted both in the straps and at the back.
Does it work for running and high-impact training?
This is where it stood out most in the test. In both interval running and jump rope, it kept the breasts more still than the other models.
Can I return it if the size does not fit?
Yes, Gymfit has a 30-day return policy and a money-back guarantee. If you need to exchange size, that's no problem.
