Racerback Sports Bras

Shop Racerback Sports Bras at Myprotein

A racerback sports bra is a training essential, and this collection brings together styles built for the way you actually move. Whether you're lifting, running, or flowing through a yoga session, the racerback cut keeps straps out of your way while the structured designs feel secure when things get intense.

From training-ready construction to soft-touch everyday fabrics, there's a racerback workout bra here for every kind of session. Each style is designed by Myprotein's in-house team with both function and fit front of mind.

Who This Collection Is For

This collection is built for women who want a sports bra that keeps up with them — whether that's high-rep lifting, back-to-back cardio classes, or low-impact movement that still calls for proper support. The racerback design suits those who want unrestricted shoulder movement without sacrificing a secure fit.

If you're after something versatile enough to take from the gym floor to the studio without a wardrobe change, women's racerback sports bras are exactly that. They sit close, feel secure, and layer cleanly under or over other pieces.

When to Wear Racerback Sports Bras

Racerback sports bras come into their own during workouts that demand a full range of shoulder motion — think overhead pressing, pull-downs, rowing, or anything that has you reaching and pulling through a wide arc. The strap configuration clears the shoulder blades completely, so nothing catches or shifts mid-rep.

They're just as well-suited to lower-intensity sessions. A soft-touch racer back sports bra worn during Pilates, yoga, or a steady-state cardio session feels comfortable from the first set to the last stretch. Worn solo or layered under a tank, these bras work hard across a wide range of training styles.

Key Features

Racerback Strap Design

The defining feature of the range — the racerback cut pulls straps away from the shoulder tips and converges them at the centre of the back. This keeps straps clear during overhead movements and reduces the chance of slipping during fast-paced workouts.

4-Way Stretch Fabric

Select styles in this range use 4-way stretch construction, meaning the fabric moves in every direction with you. Whether you're twisting, bending, or reaching, the bra moves as part of you rather than against you.

Removable Bra Cups

Certain styles include removable cups, giving you the option to tailor your level of coverage and structure to the session. Keep them in for added shaping during a workout, or remove them for a lighter, more relaxed feel.

Soft-Touch Fabric

Some styles in the collection use a soft-touch fabric that sits gently against the skin — particularly useful during longer sessions or when training in warm environments where comfort really counts.

FAQs

What is a racerback sports bra?

A racerback sports bra is a bra designed with straps that angle inward and meet at a central point between the shoulder blades, forming a Y or V shape at the back. This construction keeps straps clear of the shoulders during wide arm movements, making it particularly well-suited to training that involves overhead or pulling exercises.

What size racerback sports bra should I choose?

Sizing varies between styles, so it's worth checking the size guide on each product page before ordering. As a general rule, a well-fitting sports bra should feel snug without digging in — the band should sit flat around your ribcage and the cups should contain fully without any spillage or gaps. If you're between sizes, check the product's fit notes for guidance.

How can I check coverage before choosing this style?

Each product page includes detailed fit notes, size guide information, and imagery to help you assess coverage before buying. Read through the product description carefully and refer to the size guide for measurements. If in doubt, customer reviews on the product page can also give a useful sense of how a style fits in practice.

What workouts are racerback sports bras best suited to?

Racerback sports bras work well across a wide range of training styles. The strap design is particularly useful for resistance training, particularly any movements that involve the shoulders and upper back. They're equally at home in yoga, Pilates, cardio classes, and general gym sessions — the key is matching the level of support in the bra to the intensity of your session.

Which racerback sports bra should I choose?

If you want a versatile, everyday training option with flexible coverage, the MP Women's Training Racerback Sports Bra in Black is a solid starting point — removable cups mean you can adjust the structure to suit your session. For something with a softer, more comfortable feel during lower-intensity workouts, the MP Women's Tempo Ultra Racerback Sports Bra uses soft-touch fabric and 4-way stretch for a style that moves easily with you.

How do I care for my racerback sports bra?

To keep the fabric and structure in good condition for longer, follow the care label for the best way to look after stretch fabrics, so air drying flat is the best approach. Check the care label on your specific style, as fabric compositions can vary across the range.

Who designed the racerback sports bras?

Every style in this collection is designed by Myprotein's in-house design team, developed with women's training in mind from the ground up.

Can I wear a racerback sports bra as a top on its own?

Many women wear racerback sports bras as standalone training tops, particularly in warmer conditions or high-intensity sessions. The styles in this range are designed to look as good as they perform — they work solo or layered under an open-back tank or a zip-up for transitions between the gym and wherever the day takes you next.
