High Impact Sports Bras: The Support + Comfort Combo Every Runner Needs

If you’re a runner, you know that the right high impact support sports bra can make or break your workout. Too much bounce? Instant distraction. Chafing seams? Painful. A design that feels impossible to take off post-run? Pure frustration.

At SPANX, we’ve heard it all from active women who love to move—but don’t love compromising on comfort, support, or style. That’s exactly why we created the FlexFeel™ High Impact Sports Bra—engineered to give you total support, zero chafe, and the easiest on/off design you’ve ever worn.

Why High Impact Support Matters

Running, HIIT, cycling, and court workouts all fall into the “high impact” category—meaning your body (and especially your chest) needs maximum stability to perform comfortably. Traditional bras can compress without supporting, leaving you sore and distracted.

A true high impact support sports bra should do three things well:

1. Minimize bounce with strategic structure and lift.
2. Prevent chafing through soft, seamless design.
3. Offer effortless on/off for a post-sweat cooldown that doesn’t feel like a wrestling match.

The SPANX FlexFeel™ design checks every one of those boxes.

Real Talk: Why Women Are Making the Switch

Women are tired of choosing between function and comfort. Our community consistently shares that other bras left them dealing with:

• Awkward designs that were impossible to remove when sweaty

The FlexFeel™ Sports Bra was designed to end those pain points for good. It’s proof that powerful support and real comfort can—and should—coexist.
