With the aim of verifying the perception of body image (BI) and possible associations with anthropometric indicators in physical exercise practitioners at a gym in Florianópolis – SC, a cross-cut study was carried out with 90 women (40.38±10. 2 age) who responded to the Kakeschita image scale and carried out anthropometric assessment of body circumferences and skinfolds. They presented significant correlational values between real HF and perceived HF with anthropometric variables such as body mass (p<0.001; rho 0.480), body mass index (p<0.001; rho 0.572), waist-hip ratio (p=0.002; rho 0.316) and fat percentage (%BF) (p<0.001; rho 0.525), with the exception of height (p<0.644; rho -0.049). It was observed that for underweight people (p=0.004) there was a lower relationship between anthropometric variables and satisfaction with HF, while for overweight people (p=0.004) the BF% was lower.
