This study aimed to analyze the satisfaction of physical education professionals at teaching fitness classes. Cross-sectional research, carried out with 20 fitness center instructors. An "Instrument to measure satisfaction at work" was used. Data analysis was performed using the Shapiro-Wilk test and independent Student t-test. The level of significance adopted was p < 0.05. The total level of satisfaction was considered regular among the instructors. When comparing levels in relation to sex, a significant difference was observed in the domains "physiological aspects" (p = 0.034) and "safety" (p = 0.043), showing that women had better scores when compared to men. The majority of physical education professionals working as instructors in fitness centers were satisfied to give these classes, emphasizing the scopes of "physiological aspects" and "safety" among men.
