Great quality and colour. True to size, I made a mistake and sized down and now I have to return them.

I took a chance with this bra because I liked the racerback straps. They aren't too narrow. The material is soft and easy to get on! I wore it for weight class that had a slight amount of cardio and it worked out great...not sure how it would be for straight up all cardio, but I may give that a try! Comfortable to wear all day.

Not the right bra

Just wasn’t the right sports bra for me. Straps too short and pulled on my shoulders, cups didn’t fit great. Fabric was pretty thin

Small fitting

Unfortunately this bra is extremely small fitting. I ordered a medium and it’s far to tight. I know I’m not a large so I suggest to size up if you are considering buying.

Descent gym bra.

Nice solid train bra. It has good MODERATE support and is pretty comfortable. The cup size isn't very large, but it's doable. The bra is well constructed, too. I purchased three of them and I'd purchase more, if I needed more. I don't use them for running. There's not enough support for that. I'd give it a five star had the cup size been just a wee bit bigger.

New favorite run bra!

Perfect sports bra. I had been looking for something that was functional and looked good, which has become surprisingly difficult to find. It seems that you can either have bras that look cute OR have good support, but not both. This bra is both! It's perfectly compressive so the support is there for me (B-C cup). And the design is sleek and simple so I don't mind wearing it without a shirt. Easy enough to get in and out of. I wore it for a long run in a downpour and had very minimal chafing, which is impressive. I bought this together with the NB Essential Run Bra which is definitely more supportive, but a little more challenging to get on/off. Anyway, I think the Train Bra is perfect and will probably order more. I'm 34 B1/2 and ordered a small.

Great fit. The seams from the inside are ripping apart after 1 wash. I don’t have this problem with my Athleta , lululemon or Nike bras.

Add to your go to rotation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an elevated classic to add your go to rotation of sports bras. While I think I cloud have sized down, the design of the bra provided comfortable support through a HIIT workout, hot yoga and a light 5k. It’s a top you can comfortably wear solo or layer with your favorite tank or t-shirt.

Solid Bra
Originally posted on New Balance US
Yes, I recommend this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bra is really comfortable and just a classic sports bra. However, I have a larger chest (36C), and can't wear this for anything other than low impact workouts. I'm constantly looking for the perfect bra to hold the girls in when I run (that also doesn't cut off circulation from my traps to my brain), and this sadly isn't it. I got a large so maybe if I had gotten a medium to get it nice and tight it would have been better? Will be wearing this for yoga and weight lifting, though!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time trying out a NB sports bra and was pleasantly surprised!! The NB Essential Train Bra is supportive, while also being breathable and comfortable! The quick-drying material was needed during my run in 60 degree and sunny weather. Fits true to size!

Really cute but trouble with band size
Originally posted on New Balance US
No, I don't recommend this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While this sports bra is really cute and I was very excited to try, it unfortunately did not have great proportions for a good fit. I chose the size that corresponded to my measurements based on the sizing chart, and the cup size fit perfectly however the band was loose, and it continually rode up while I was running. I think this would work well for smaller people but did not work great for me.
