INTRODUCTION: In Brazil, studies on adherence have found that approximately 70% of people who start a physical activity program in gyms do not continue to perform activities. A structured physical activity program requires commitment to changes in habits, a fact that can hinder adherence to training. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate how the strategies influenced adherence and permanence to body practices and their impact on the well-being of UFRN employees with osteomyoarticular problems. METHODS: The present study is longitudinal, characterized as descriptive, with a sample chosen intentionally. Seven civil servants from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) participated in the study, aged between 33 and 68 years, 04 men and 03 women with age, height and body mass of the individuals (52.77 ± 12.46) years , (164.00 ± 7.70) cm and (79.24 ± 16.67) kg, respectively. Adherence and permanence, as well as well-being, were assessed using the resources of the following tools, audio resources, videos and images, written reports, written field diary and oral field diary, as well as continued evaluations through the records training, were evaluated after content analysis where the instrument for building the corpus was the culmination of this phase of the project. RESULTS: Among the findings related to the repercussions on improving well-being, we can mention; improvement in quality of life, improvement in physical well-being such as, reduction of pain and improvement in functionality, as well as mental well-being where decreased anxiety and social well-being have been reported in the intergenerational integration to the group.
