In a bustling world of mainstream activewear, Rubisnacks Barcelona stands as a refreshingly unique brand. Designed in Barcelona, Rubisnacks captures the essence of an active lifestyle for the modern woman who values performance, wellness and style—and doesn’t want to look like everyone else.
This isn’t simply workout gear; it’s a wardrobe of high-quality activewear that elevates your performance and look, whether you’re off to yoga, hitting the crossfit box, and sweating it out at spin. Our collection is carefully designed for fit and performance so you can look and feel good while you’re making bold moves.
The Rubisnacks Difference:
What makes Rubisnacks Barcelona activewear different?
Rubisnacks Barcelona is not your average activewear label - designed with purpose, we pair high-performance fabrics from Italy and Spain with unique cuts, prints, and silhouettes that keep you comfortable while making a statement.
Our ethos? Activewear should be as functional as it is beautiful and always a little bit bold. As a women-led, independent brand, we believe every detail matters, from the eco-conscious materials we source to our ethical, local manufacturing here in Barcelona. With Rubisnacks, you’ll find not only exclusive designs but a sustainable, fashion-forward alternative to the mainstream.
How are Rubisnacks sports bras different from Nike, adidas, and Lululemon sports bras?
Intentionally designed not to look like a sports bra, but function like one, we are as serious about fitness and sport as we are about style and design.
Expect bold prints, unique silhouettes, and thoughtful details like cut-outs and open-back designs that allow you to stand out while staying cool and comfortable.
Our prints are designed by our founder in limited collections, which means you won’t show up to class wearing the same thing as someone else.
What does it mean that the prints are designed in-house?
For those who like their wardrobe unique, Rubisnacks' prints are exclusive and released in limited collections, designed in-house by the founder herself. She finds inspiration in the streets of Barcelona to ideas that come while in savasana.
Each print is unique and only available at Rubisnacks Barcelona, ensuring you'll be the only one with your look.
Do you offer exclusive or limited-edition pieces?
Yes! We frequently release limited-edition collections that feature exclusive prints, colors, and designs.

Do you make leggings or bottoms?
For those who love a flawless fit and feel, we designed our Aglaïa high-waisted leggings to give you coverage and comfort without sacrificing style.
Squat-proof, supportive, and designed to stay in place, these leggings are ideal for both high-intensity workouts and casual outings.
And when the temperature rises, our biker shorts keep you cool without compromising style or movement.

- High-Waisted Leggings: For those who love a little extra support around the midsection, these leggings are perfect for everything from high-impact workouts to yoga. They stay in place and offer a flattering fit.
- Biker Shorts: For warmer days and high-sweat workouts, these shorter styles keep you cool while allowing maximum range of movement.
Are Rubisnacks leggings ideal for everyday wear?
Yes! Designed to go beyond the gym, these high-waisted leggings look as good with a sports bra gym fit as they do with a cozy knit for an effortlessly chic off-duty look. Rubisnacks is all about versatility and all-day style.
Do you make coordinate fitness sets that match the sports bra and leggings?
Absolutely! We love a chic wellness girlie co-ord. We offer a variety of refined sets that coordinate beautifully.
How to Choose the Right Sports Bra
How do I pick the right sports bra?
Let’s be honest: finding a sports bra that feels good, flatters, and moves with you is no easy feat. Often they come in one of three different categories, based on impact level:
- High-Impact Bras: Ideal for running, HIIT workouts, or intense sports, these bras provide maximum support with strong, flexible materials that minimize bounce. Look for features like adjustable straps and extra padding for enhanced comfort and stability.
- Medium-Impact Bras: Perfect for spin, dancing, and strength training, these bras offer balanced support with slightly lighter construction. They’re versatile and comfortable for most moderate-intensity activities while still delivering style.
- Low-Impact Bras: Suited for yoga, Pilates, and stretching, low-impact bras offer gentle support with an emphasis on comfort and breathability. With soft, lightweight fabrics and minimalist designs, they allow for free movement while adding a touch of style.
Do you have a guide to help select the right sports bra?
Yes! If you want read more on which sports bra to choose, we’ve put together a guide with tips and tricks on how to select the right sports bra and a blog.
Which Rubisnacks Barcelona Sports Bra is right for me?
We are for women making bold moves, that’s why we’ve designed three styles, each for different activities and levels of support.
Whether you’re at a reformer pilates session, heading to a fit boxing class, doing CrossFit or martial arts, or just out for a casual day of errands, our sports bras and activewear collection are best for those who want something a little different than the typical look.
- Mercury Bra: Low to medium-impact, with a relaxed fit that’s perfect for yoga, strength training, or water sports. Think of it as your go-to for ease and versatility.
- Artemis Bra: A medium to high-impact bra with extra coverage, pockets for insertable cups, and adjustable straps for those heavier workouts. It’s built for both support and style, ready for high-energy activities or even as an off-duty statement piece.
- Minerva Crop Top: The ultimate hybrid, Minerva is a reversible top-bra that offers two distinct necklines: one deep v-neck, one high. It’s perfect solo or layered for yoga, hiking, or a casual night out.
Both Mercury and Artemis have thicker bands and straps in sizes L and XL for added comfort and support. If you are a c-cup or more, the Mercury style may be more suitable as a low impact bra since this is not a compression style.

Sizing & Fit
What is the sizing like?
We know that finding the right fit is crucial, which is why we focus on designs that offer both snug support and flexibility.
Each piece is true to size, but if you’re between sizes, we suggest going up for extra ease.
How do I know my size?
Our detailed sizing guide takes the guesswork out of finding your ideal fit, but feel free to reach out with any questions.
We are here to ensure that every piece feels like it was made just for you.
Do you have a size guide?
For example - Both Size M in Mercury and Artemis fit a 34-36in band, while the cup size for Mercury is slightly smaller.
Alpha Numeric/Cup Size Chart
Our sizing is pretty fluid, meaning that there is a high level of elastine to accommodate different body shapes and sizes. Therefore, you may fit into two sizes, for example both an M and an L could fit you.
Select your size based on the type of fit and function you want.
Check the chart to see which sizes correspond to you. Then decide how you want it to fit and what activities you will use it for. For a looser fit, consider sizing up. If you want a tighter fit, then stay true to size or size down.
Suggestions:
1. If you are a C cup or higher, consider the type of coverage you want at the bust and the style of bra you are ordering -- Mercury has lesser coverage at the bust and a lower neckline, while Artemis has more coverage and a higher neckline.
If you are a 36C, you may select an L in Mercury and an M in Artemis, for example.
Don’t fret too much though!
Bra sizing can be super complicated and annoying. However, our bras are very flattering and will fit you well. Our bras are comfortable and very flexible to accommodate many body shapes and sizes -- it molds to your shape and, since the difference between the sizes is not that great, if you order the wrong size, you will not see a marked difference.
Of course, if you’re not satisfied, we do accept returns up to 15 days (less shipping) and you can read our full return policy here.
If you still have questions or want us to help you with your size, feel free to write to us, we are humans behind the screen!
