METHODS: A survey was conducted with 207 company employees from different departments. The statistical technique used was Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) which the conceptual model was tested. RESULTS: The results indicate a good adjustment of the model according to the literature. The hypothesis test of the H2b research with the recreation construct did not have any influence on socialization, and the H3a hypotheses with the teacher construct and H3c with the socialization construct, did not show positive effects for the intention of practicing physical exercises.CONCLUSION: The results make it possible to reflect on the teacher’s role in workplace gymnastics, in addition to understanding the practices performed in class.
