The Absolute Workout Print sports bra is Champion’s updated take on a classic racerback. It is also an alternative to the dual-solid color version of the Absolute Workout; runners can choose from a variety of patterns. And the basic designs makes this an affordable, no-fuss option for runners who need low to moderate support.

Confident Coverage

In terms of support, Champion separates its bras into moderate and maximum. The Absolute Workout is a moderate-support sports bra, suited for low-to medium-impact workouts. Compression and double-layer fabric in the front help reduce bouncing, while making the bra comfortable to wear, especially given its low price.

Runners can choose from a variety of prints, including “orion rings” (shown here).

The bra comes in several patterns, with cool names like “mountain lilac gradient stars” and “orion rings” in the shade of “ripe papaya red.” Pops of color, along with a reflective emblem, make you more visible running in the dark.

A Smooth Fit

The bra area is a gapless and tug-free zone thanks to dual-layer fabric and compression. This slip-on doesn’t have any prodding hooks or adjustable straps. The smooth wide bottom band is brushed inside so you won't find any nasty red elastic marks post-workout.

What Testers Said

This bra made one tester a new Champion devotee: “When I put it on, the first thing I noticed was how comfortable and well-fitting it was,” she said. “I didn’t feel like I was ratcheted in, like I feel in other sports bras.”
