THE GYM PEOPLE Sports Wirefree Padded Bra

Great quality

Wow wow wow. I am impressed with the material of this top. I know what the lulu ones feel like but have never felt inclined to buy them cause their sizing is WACK. this one however fits me like a glove and LOOK AT THE COLOR! so flattering and pretty! (Shorts are sunzel btw (; ) I did pop out the pads cause you could see the outline but not at all see through. I will be buying more!! I am 5’4 and 130 pounds and ordered a small! In the photo I did tuck the top under a bit for personal preference. But HIGHLY recommend.

LOVE these tanks! I got one in 3 different colors. That was the first thing I noticed when they arrived – the colors ARE beautiful. Next, weight/feel of the fabric and construction. The fabric is moisture wicking so some weight is necessary to support that feature. There’s a built-in bra for support, and removable pads. The pads seem kinda weirdly shaped – almost flat. I ordered the medium size despite the size guide recommendation because I got reprimanded(??!) by the AI that quite literally INSISTED I order the medium! It wouldn’t even LET me add the size large to my cart 😅 resorting to what appeared to be a pop-up blockade!! I’ve said for some time that if there are any internet entities that know me well, Amazon is most assuredly near or at the top of that list.

Anyhow, I’m 5’1″, 124lbs, a 36D, and I’ve been a gym rat since I was old enough to get into one – to give you an idea on physique. The medium really IS the best size choice for me, so thank you, Amazon AI! Back to the pads…
Straight line on the bottom, dome shaped?? and flat-front. They made the armholes pucker because the fabric didn’t want to accommodate my chest in this top with those pads. I took them out and replaced them with some I had from other sport bras that were much rounder in overall shape. Being able to swap the padding made a huge difference. I gotta say the ones that came with were more befitting a barely-A cup size. I couldn’t take a star away for those crazy pads just because MY cup size isn’t a standard medium. However, it seemed worth discussing.

Construction of these tanks are solid. I imagine these lasting a long time. They held up perfectly after washing. I washed them in cold water on the delicate cycle with low spin speed. I hung them to dry and ran them through my dryer for 5 minutes on air only, just to get the air-dry stiffness out of them.

Stitching is flawless – not a single loose thread anywhere – even after washing. And ZERO color fade, but I confess I wash nearly everything in Woolite as my base detergent.

If you’re looking for a quality sports bra that easily doubles as a somewhat upscale tank, these are it! I do have to add that someone who is tall may find these short. I suspect the models they use are short-waisted. They are a perfect length on me at 5’1″.

(This review is copy/pasted for the other two colors I ordered.)

I love this sports bra/tank top so much I’ve bought it in multiple colors! It is long enough to be a crop type tank top with high rise shorts. The material is buttery soft with a thickness that does not add heat! The built in bra and style provides support and is very flattering. This tank is part of my teacher Mom summer uniform and I recommend adding it to your wardrobe too!

Detailed review ahead (girl, be ready for a novel)….I have to say first that I am a die hard lululemon fan, but I work as a choreographer every summer for a well respected theatre camp. Last year, all my lululemon running shorts and most of my tanks were on their last leg. I had heard about these online and wanted to give them a try as an alternative for summer camp, as I could spend less and buy more colors to mix and match. WOW! For the money you can’t go wrong.

I purchased the white, black, denim blue, and jade green tanks and the matching mesh lined high waist running shorts. I am 5’7 and your typical smedium 32dd. I ordered medium across the board. I rapidly lose weight over the summer due to the heat and the exercise. I feel these will fit me if I fluctuate as low as about 15 pounds lighter.

Tanks- These are fantastic. They are not for super high impact, but for lower/ medium impact dance they are great. I can also see myself wearing these all summer as loungewear or with shorts. If I sized down it would’ve given me more cleavage than I wanted. I may try taking in the liner a bit for more security near the end of summer when I’ve dropped weight. Great lululemon dupe. Comfortable and flattering. The ONLY con I have is that the size varied slightly by color. The black and white fit more snug (which I preferred). The denim blue and Jade green fit a little looser as you can see in the side profile picture of the denim blue set.

Shorts- these are great dupes as well! The back pocket completely fits my iPhone XR. The side pocket is super secure and deep. The shorts are slightly longer in the back. The high waist is pretty small and includes about an inch of tighter elastic. I personally like this for camp so my walkie doesn’t pull them down, but if you have more of a square figure it may pay to size up. The tank meets right where these shorts start. My only complaint on these is sometimes the way they lay can look a bit funky in the crotch area, but nothing too major. The colors all looked great. I wore the white with red underwear and it didn’t show through where the mesh liner was.

As a set- Black is perfect and what you’d expect. The white is a CRISP white. Like, it made me pull out my teeth whitener white. It’s beautiful, but literally my Snow White OPI nail polish even looked a tad dingy in comparison. The Jade green shorts were a slightly different shade than the tank. It was not enough for my husband to notice without telling him. For some reason it looks a lot different in the photo but they’re more similar in person. The blue is a pretty darn close match. If anything, the band is slightly different due to the different material. It’s not a dealbreaker for me, as I plan to mix and match a lot

Final thoughts- I love them. I sent both my sisters the links to them, I will live in them all summer, and I will be buying more sets in a variety of colors. Lululemon who?
