Current transversal study investigates motivation, well-being and self-esteem between 31 people (24 females and 7 males), mean age 30.41 years (± 7.85), practising three modalities (functional training (n=10), bodybuilding (n=11) and without personal trainer (n=10)) in gyms in Petrolina and Juazeiro, Brazil. Subjective Well-Being Scale, Rosemberg´s Self-Esteen Scale and the Questionnaire of Conduct regulation in Exercise 2 were assessed. Practitioners of functional training had the highest positive rate and the least score in identified regulation (r=-0.34) when compared to bodybuilding with or without personal trainers. Significant co-relationships occurred: positive affection with identified regulation (r = -0.34), introjected regulation (r = -0.31) and external regulation (r = -0.30); and satisfaction with life with identified regulation (r = -0.28). The type of exercise may be considered an intervening factor in positive affection and in the individual´s identification with the exercise. Moreover, positive affection is inversely associated with motivation regulations.
