Ladies, do you do that little tug, that not-so-subtle readjustment of your sports bra while exercising? Forgive us for being so forward, but perhaps your bra doesn’t fit properly.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Ill-fitting sports bras are the bane of many fitness- and sports-minded gals, says D’Lynda Fischer, owner of Sporteve, a Culver City athletic store that caters only to women. Chafing, inadequate support, falling straps -- it’s enough to derail the most accomplished athletes. That’s why the store is hosting a bra fitting clinic May 1 at 7 p.m., where women will be measured and fitted for the sports bra that best suits them and their activity.

Amy Johnson of Moving Comfort will be doing the fittings, and other brands, featuring a range of sizes and styles, will be available, including CW-X, Enell and Pureline. And if that isn’t enough, wine and cheese will be served.

‘All you need is a good pair of shoes and a good sports bra,’ says Fischer, which pretty much sums it up.

Sporteve, 3849 Main St., Culver City. Please call for reservations: (310) 838-6588.
