Feel secure while you exercise with this no-bounce cami-style bra , this zip-front closure racerback and this large cup underwire sports bra .

No one should feel like their chest size hinders existing in the world comfortably, let alone in a gym or workout class. And if you have a larger bust and cup size, there are a whole new set of factors to consider when it comes to sports bras

You want to reduce excess “spillage,” mitigate shoulder and neck pain, put an end to that distracting bounce and feel secure without restricting any movement. Although these seem like simple asks, it can be difficult to find options that accommodate larger chests and related sports bra needs. 

Whether you’re going on a jog, practicing yoga or simply running some errands, these high- and medium-impact, larger-capacity bras can help you feel supported and comfortable no matter what your bust size is. Keep reading to see some of the highest-rated options out there, plus what some people with larger chests had to say about them.

A high-support zip-front bra with adjustable comfort straps
The Syrokan high-impact sports bra offers full coverage and has a secure, adjustable elastic under-band with a hook and eye closure. The straps are also adjustable and can be worn crossed or vertical to accommodate a wide variety of cup sizes.

Promising review: This bra actually covers and supports my large bust! I have literally tried everything. I want to love the Shefit but even though they claim to fit large breasts, I still feel like I am falling out. This one is actually bra sized, so I get way better coverage and support for my 32G frame. Nola Mae
A fully encompassing sports bra with cushioned straps
This underwire sports bra from Panache is designed to help lift and shape breasts while offering support from all sides. The adjustable back can convert to a racerback style and reduces uncomfortable bouncing during exercise, without a restrictive feeling. It's available in 37 different pattern and color variations.

Promising review: This thing is amazing. No uni-boob, no squished flat boobs, no boobs falling under the band, no industrial undergarment look. It's snug around the rib cage, and I was briefly concerned it would be uncomfortable, but I wore it for four hours and it was a total dream. Super comfy and everything stayed in place. The straps do not cut in or dig and it's easy to get in and out of. GreatNorthGirl
A cooling high-impact sports bra
Yvette's crisscross sports bra offers high-impact support and is made with specially designed cooling fabric, plus it has a breathable mesh panel to reduce cleavage perspiration. It also has sewn-in deep-capacity molded cups for more protection.

Promising review: I bought one about a month ago and loved it so much, I bought a second! Fit is perfect, follow the size chart and you will be fine as long as you know your true size.I am a 36DD (bought a large) and this holds me in place through my workouts. No more painful bouncing; not smothering either. It holds everything comfortably and moves with you without chafing, rubbing, bunching or slips. The straps stay put no matter what I'm doing. I do weights, planks, jogging, etc. This is amazing!! Best workout bra ever!... It's got great coverage and fits perfectly without revealing everything. Comfortable under shirts as well. I cant wait to get a third! Momof3boys
A wide-strap sports bra with a zip-front closure
Made from sweat-wicking material, this zip-closure racerback bra by Yvette offers high impact support and full surrounding coverage beneath the arms and around the back. The wide straps are padded to keep them from digging into shoulders or leaving painful indents.

Promising review: I am a first-time nursing mother. This bra is a lifesaver. Whenever I get the time to exercise, which is not often, I find it tough as I might have milk in my breasts and running/weights with that uncomfortable feeling is so difficult. This bra helps with it. It supports and helps me in exercising. The zipper is much easier than buttoning it at the back. I went from I don't want to exercise to I exclusively [want to] because of this bra. Harini Balasubramanian
A breathable, non-spillage sports bra
This lightweight full-coverage sports bra by Wingslove is available up to size 45G and uses a formfitting and flattening design to provide a seamless shape when worn. It also has adjustable cushioned straps that help to disperse pressure on the shoulders without digging into skin.

Promising review: This is by far the first bra to do what it says. I have a hard time working out comfortably or doing things like jogging or playing basketball without worrying of 'falling out' or feeling like my boobs are going to rip off my chest. I'm a 38 DDD and it is very discouraging to have to use three or four bras in order to be active, [which] causes a lot of pain and discomfort to your shoulders and back. With this bra, I can perform extensive cardio, jog, and even wear at work 8+ hours without adjusting or worrying. I absolutely love this bra!!! Jamie P
A buttery smooth medium-support yoga bra
For lower intensity support, this silky soft crisscross sports bra from Lululemon is low friction on the skin and goes up to E cup size.

Promising review: I've had a hard time finding a bra to fit my (40 DD) chest comfortably. I'm so happy I gave this a go! I love this bra, it's supportive enough but doesn't feel like it's crushing my upper body, the buttery soft fabric! I find some bras are cut weirdly around the underarm and aren't comfortable, but this bra is designed in a way where that is not an issue! It's perfect for all the hiking, yoga, and skating I do! Thank you Lululemon! Vee
A cleavage-happy bra with molded foam padding
Made from 100% cotton, this medium support sports bra by Champion features a plunging neck design and non-restrictive support. Plus, integrated molded cups and breathable side panels help to smooth and shape.

Promising review: I very rarely give a 5 star review, but finally, a sports bra with sewn in pads! As someone with pretty prominent nipples, it's important to have a little padding, especially for those colder day workouts. I've struggled with bra after bra where the pads are not sewn in and dreaded pulling the bra out of the laundry just to spend 20 minutes putting the pads back into place. But with this bra, I struggle no more! I bought 5 and threw out all my other sports bras. And yes, as an added bonus, this bra makes your breasts look wonderful. Laura S
A seamless racerback with a whopping 35,000 five-star ratings
This classic racerback sports bra offers moderate to high-impact support and has removable molded cups for shaping. The moisture-wicking "climacool" fabric also helps manage body temperature and maximize comfort.

Promising review: Love this sports bra! For reference, I am 5'4" and 210 pounds. I ordered the XXL and it fit great! I have a hard time finding sports bras that are supportive, and this bra was a pleasant surprise! Because of the price, I didn't expect it to be very high quality. However, it fits, lifts my breasts and provides just the right amount of coverage/protection. My breasts are heavy, so they tend to sag in bras that don't have underwire. But in this bra, they don't sag at all! I will be buying more colors. Natalie O.
A large-cup underwire sports bra that gets rid of the uniboob
Ideal for separating and supporting larger breasts, this wire-framed sports bra provides high-impact protection and comes in both G and H cup sizes.

Promising review: This sports bra is outstanding. I am a 32H, which is an exceptionally difficult size to fit for a sports bra. I am finally able to engage in high-impact workouts. The total full coverage, stay put straps, exoskeleton underwire, and sturdy construction all serve to prevent bounce. I have run a 5k, do bouncy spin cycling, and high impact plyometric workouts and am totally satisfied with this bras performance. Which is why I now own 10. Sarah T.
An underwire-free, no-bounce cami bra
The camisole design of this high-performance sports bra is ideal for upper bust containment and bounce reduction during exercise. The hook and eye closure is wire-free for comfortable and customizable support.

Promising review: Amazing and comfortable fit! I hate doing any type of running or jumping exercises since I feel uncomfortable having my boobs jumping up and down lol. This bra is the absolute best for me, I can run and do jumping jacks without feeling uncomfortable! Great bra, very soft fabric on the breast area and is comfortable for the back and the shoulders! I am very pleased with this bra. I purchased a 38D and I am 55 tall and 183lbs. Fits great, however, 36D would be good too. Definitely purchasing more! Juliana Soto
An underwire sports bra that's great for running
You can wear the straps of this high-impact underwire bra horizontally or in a racerback style for even more support. A specially designed seamless wire frame stabilizes the chest to minimize bouncing, and the cups are lined but not padded for a fit that isn't bulky.

Promising review: I've been running for 30 years and have always had a hard time finding a good running bra. I'm a 36D. This bra does fit snugly but that's what provides the needed support. I'm 5'4" and the wires don't cut into my underarms. This is the second one I've bought. Rhonda Hyde
A crisscross everyday sports bra with removable padding
This medium-support yoga bra provides good chest coverage without restricting movement or breath. The moisture-wicking fabric has a four-way stretch and is ultra soft for comfortable long-term wear. It also features removable padding.

Promising review: I loved this sports bra so much I had to get another one. The straps are thick therefore very good for those of us with a big chest. It provides the perfect support and keeps things in place. I dont get extra skin overflowing from my back as the material is stretchy enough and the straps accentuate my back. I have used the sports bra for running and high intensity workouts. I havent had any issues and they are comfortable. Yessenia
A full-coverage sports bra with adjustable comfort straps
Instead of wire, this high-impact sports bra by Syrokan uses a slightly cushioned under-band for comfortable support and wide solid straps that lift and mitigate shoulder and back pressure. The two-layer limited stretch cups also help reduce bounce.

Promising review: The best sports bra Ive ever worn. I'm 38DD and I work out five days a week, Crossfit mainly. Lots of jumping around and I also run. I have always worn two sports bras and still needed more support, even with $100 Lululemon bras. Ive gone through all the major sports brands. Nothing has ever come close to this bra. Today I ran two miles with this bra. No second bra. No pain. No embarrassing bounce. No tugging the straps up over my shoulder and pulling the back down in hopes of securing a tighter fit. No pain later in the day. This is a miracle for busty runners. Sherese H.
A double strap racerback with padding and shock control
This full-coverage, high-impact racerback is padded and slightly compressive for a secure, held-in feel. The double strap design helps to take pressure off shoulders and back, while a hook and eye closure at the base of the bra provides a customized under-band fit.

Promising review:
I'm a busty gal, there's no way around it. So ordering a bra online without a fitting room was risky, but I'm SO GLAD I took that risk!!! I normally have back and shoulder problems because of my bust and this literally changed all of that! I can even breathe better! My husband said my posture even seems better! My shoulders have stopped aching and my back pain is easing up and I've only had it on for an hour! THANK YOU!!!! I'LL ORDER ANOTHER!!!! Meaghan Jayne Trivette

19 At-Home Fitness Products For When The Gym Is Just Too Far Away
A compact folding treadmill that works well for apartments(01 of19)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I have had this treadmill for two months now and have used it for 45 minutes almost every day. This treadmill, while not comparable to a $2,000 commercial-grade treadmill, certainly does everything I need it to do. It is very quiet and does not interfere with the TV if I'm watching it. It is sturdy and well constructed. There is a ledge for an iPad or Kindle should I wish to read while walking. And at the end of my walk, I know how long I've walked, how far I've walked and how many calories I've burned. I can also monitor my heart rate as I walk. I was initially going to pay for someone to come out to assemble it, but after reading reviews, decided my husband and I could do it ourselves. Believe me, there is no need to pay to have it assembled. It was a breeze and took us less than an hour. All in all, I would definitely recommend this treadmill to anyone looking for one that is no-frill and low price." Margo Rizzardini

Get it from Amazon for $387.23 .

By the way, you may want to consider picking up a treadmill mat to put underneath your machine to not only protect your floor but also prevent dust from entering the belts and mechanical parts. This is the one I used with the Xterra TR150 (the medium size) and it held up well for me over the years.

A set of dumbbells with a stand(02 of19)
Open Image Modal
This particular set comes with pairs of weights in 5, 8 and 12 pounds, though you can get lighter-weight sets as well. I have the 32-pound set of dumbbells, and they're sturdy, attractive, and have a good grip to them. Having a few different sizes on hand is helpful for switching between different sets of moves.

Promising review: "These weights are great! I bought these for home workouts, and the three different weight options are perfect for me to do a variety of different workout types. The texture of the rubber really helps out with gripping and holding onto them easily. I live in a small apartment, and they don't take up that much room, which is a huge plus for me. Honestly, for the price, you really can't pass these up. I do find the stand to be a bit on the flimsy side, but that doesn't take away from the weights serving their purpose. 10/10 would recommend for getting your home gym started." SM

Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in three set varieties).

A Kettle Gryp (as seen on Shark Tank!) that converts your dumbbell into a kettlebell(03 of19)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "Just about any kettle exercise can be done with this adapter, though common sense notes youll need to be careful when doing kettlebell swings due to the width of the dumbbell swinging between ones legs/knees. This is extremely strong and durable. The enclosed dumbbell doesnt slide around or spin: It stays put while youre going through your motion. I use the Kettle Gryp with my Bowflex select 552 dumbbells. The entire assembly stays rock-hard and stable, just like a real cast iron kettlebell. Its perfect for me in my tiny apartment, since I have neither the space nor desire to bring more expensive equipment into my home." Jmp1nJakFl@sh

A speed jump rope to help you master your double-unders and get your heart pumping(04 of19)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I purchased this rope being new to CrossFit-style workouts and looking to improve on my single under skills with the hopes of working up to double unders. I'm no expert (have not picked up a jump rope since elementary school), but I love having a rope at home to practice with that I can size to my needs. This feels like a quality product and I prefer it to the ones available at my gym." Amazon Customer

A cordless jump rope if space is more of an issue than speed(05 of19)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "Wow, what a cool product. We needed a cordless jump rope to work out in the house. This is perfect. It is weighted enough to give you the feel of an actual jump rope without hitting the ceiling or tripping over the ropes. Definitely worth having and at a great price." Susie Buetow

A portable strider that can be used while sitting or standing(06 of19)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I'm extremely happy with this. I was worried it would be too wimpy and the stride would be too small, but it's absolutely perfect for me. I love the portability and the fact that I'm not trapped on a big machine. I get a better workout from the mini elliptical and it takes up less space." Amazon Customer

A doorway exercise bar that's great for small spaces.(07 of19)
Open Image Modal
It comes with the hardware you need to mount it; all you need is a screwdriver or drill! You can also mount it using the adjustable tension if you'd rather not screw the brackets into your door frame (this depends on how much weight you're planning to put on it). It also comes with two discreet little plugs for attaching at the bottom of your door frame for sit-ups.

Promising review: "Very solid once installed. The little sit-up nubs that are included are a great idea; makes it easy to move the bar to a low position for those. The whole design seems quite hardy, and the way it telescopes should prevent any sudden releases if you keep an eye on the tension (and don't install it in a way that will bias toward loosening as you use it). The adjustable grips are handy, too." TatteredKing

An interactive Plankpad designed to work your entire body and build strength(08 of19)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I love it! The design is clean and simple. The games are basic, but still keep me in a plank longer than normal. I like the workout part, basically 30-second intervals of different exercises, you pick how many 30-second segments you want to do at a time. There is a daily challenge, too. I would be bored to tears after one 40-second regular plank [but now] I do over six minutes plus at each session on this and you really feel it strengthening your core." Amazon Customer

An instructional yoga mat for days when you just can't make it to yoga class(09 of19)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I am very new to yoga and this yoga mat is extremely helpful while in class, so I am not constantly having to stare at the instructors the entire time. It also helps outside of class when practicing different yoga poses. It's also very comfortable without being too heavy!!! I definitely recommend this mat to anyone new to yoga!!!" Michaela

Get it from Amazon for $31.97 (available in six colors).

While you're at it, you may want to grab a yoga strap and yoga blocks to provide extra stability and help you work on more complex stretches.

A weighted sports hoop that'll make you feel like you're back in middle school P.E.(10 of19)
Open Image Modal
This is the 3B hoop, designed for adults and kids between 100 and 160 pounds. Be sure to consult the chart on the listing for the proper hoop for your height and weight, and check out the Sports Hoop store page for more info and other versions.

Promising review: It's taller and heavier than I expected, but I tell you one dang thing, it freakin' works! You can only do it a few minutes at a time until you build up your tummy muscles but, man oh man, will you ever build your abs with this thing. It's easy to do because the weight of it helps swing it around without falling to your knees as you swing your hips round and round." Amazon Customer

A TRX suspension training system for bodyweight training at home or on the go(11 of19)
Open Image Modal
It comes with a suspension training strap, indoor/outdoor anchors, two workout guides, a training poster and a mesh bag.

Promising review: "I don't always have the time/inclination to go to the gym, and having this at home allows me to get in a proper workout without leaving the house. It's just a fun way to try new things and use muscles that you wouldn't be able to otherwise. I can't do pistol squats in real life, but I can with this thing! It's incredibly easy to use and to adjust." Cersar

A pair of core sliders designed to slide with ease as you perform core-centric moves(12 of19)

The sliders are double-sided, with a foam side for hard surfaces like wood and tile and a smooth plastic side for carpet and rugs.

Promising review: "Ive been in fitness for years and have used many different devices for core workouts. The felt on wooden floors had just enough grip to stay where you needed when you applied pressure. The plastic side has just enough of a bump to allow for comfortable hand placement as well. Solid build quality." Amazon customer

A slightly more compact stationary bike(13 of19)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "This bike is easy to assemble, which works out good for a person like me who is not very patient. I like the color too, it sort of adds an accent in my house with this black and red color, but it is not too big to take too much space in the house (that was my worry before we assembled it). It is comfortable to ride on, enough padding on the seat, and definitely an excellent tool to work out and burn some extra calories! " Amazon customer

A portable elliptical with adjustable tension and even a tiny monitor(14 of19)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I love this elliptical. I use it standing, and since my apartment is very small, I needed something that would help me move while not taking up a lot of space. I have my laptop set up to where I can watch shows while working out, and if you kick up the resistance pretty high, you can get a great workout. Also, it makes you use more of your body to balance than normal ellipticals with the arms, so what you miss in length or stride you get by using more of your core to work out and stay balanced on it. I also am terrible at putting stuff together, but I set this up in 20 minutes. So far its very quiet, but I make sure to wipe down the bottom plate before I use it to keep dust and pet hair off it. This little elliptical is a great addition to my tiny space I love it!" Leanna Lang

A pair of adjustable ankle weights to help you increase the difficulty of home workouts(15 of19)

Promising review: "These are absolutely amazing....extremely well made, sturdy, and will definitely last me a long time. I use them as ankle/leg weights and arms weights, and they're way better than the Danskin ones I used to have that came apart in no time. This brand is worth the price. I use them every day for strengthening my legs and arms and place them on my shoulders as I do various squat exercises. Great for at-home use or anyone trying to lose weight, tone up, or rehabilitate... love them!" Sccali

The Mirror, a splurge-worthy piece of equipment you can seamlessly add to your wall(16 of19)
Open Image Modal
This is one of those things I'd seen ads for and honestly thought I'd never buy, but I finally caved in and splurged on The Mirror a couple of months ago after realizing I seriously needed to ramp up my fitness routine. I've been using it in my little New York City apartment ever since and am so grateful to have it for my at-home workouts. The nearest gym is a 20-minute walk, so it's been such a game-changer to be able to jump into a workout 10 feet away from my work desk. There are more than 20 different types of workouts you can load up using The Mirror's companion app, including boxing, Pilates, barre, yoga, cardio bootcamps and even meditation, and I've had a blast trying out a bunch of new workouts I've never done before. Thankfully, you don't need to be a longtime gym-goer to get use out of The Mirror, as there are a ton of beginner- and intermediate-level classes that really focus on helping you practice proper form and build endurance, and new classes are added all the time. The trainers are super personable and encouraging, and I've found it so much easier to follow along to them and actually learn new moves compared to just watching YouTube videos. They really coach you through each move to ensure you're doing it properly, even if you're just watching a playback instead of joining a live class.

It's a pricey investment to be sure, but you get a ton of value out of The Mirror, especially if you're just beginning your fitness journey. The fact that it's so sleek and leans (or hangs) flat against your wall and doubles as a normal full-length mirror when you're not working out is a nice plus.

Do note that shipping and installation are free! When I got my Mirror, they carried it up three flights of stairs to my apartment and set everything up so it was immediately ready to go.

Get the basic package from The Mirror for $1,495+ (also available in various bundles with workout supplies from Lululemon, though personally I just got the basic package).

A set of resistance exercise bands(17 of19)
Open Image Modal
The set includes five bands: black is 30 pounds, blue is 20 pounds, red is 40 pounds, green is 50 pounds and yellow is 10 pounds. Plus, you get two handles.

Promising review: "I'm a major gym enthusiast. Working out is an essential part of my life. When the pandemic hit and my gym was closed until further notice, I was not very happy. Due to the lack of space in my apartment, a decent-sized weight rack was out of the question. Thank goodness a friend of mine suggested resistance bands such as these. I've been able to maintain my daily workout routine. You would think they'd take some getting used to when you're used to a typical gym set up, but the kit includes a small booklet filled with band workouts that target specific muscle groups. Makes for a great starter set at a decent price." Lawrence

Promising review: "Love it!!! Its exactly what I was looking for! Commercial-grade quality.

Its extremely study and high quality! I love that it came with the spray and wipes." Angela M.

A no-slip leather medicine ball you can reach for(19 of19)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I purchased this medicine ball to add to my growing home gym. I know Champion is a quality company, and I saw the price of the 9/10-pound ball and couldnt pass it up. I wanted a real old-school medicine ball, and this one is that. At first when I unboxed it and took off the plastic, I felt a bunch of sand and got worried. That is completely normal. The ball was in perfect condition and felt exactly the way I wanted it to feel. Ive already used it twice and its perfect. Good quality, no odd smells, great feel when you are holding it. Perfect size and weight, too. It will definitely last! I couldnt be happier with my purchase. I will definitely be purchasing a heavier version of this same ball to add to my gym in the next month or so. Thanks for being exactly like described and still making the quality we all care about! I appreciate that. I definitely recommend this medicine ball!" B&L

Get it from Amazon for $22.03+ (available in in eight colors and different weights, from 622 pounds).
