    The purpose of this study was to: (1) identify the relationship between the perceived behaviour of fitness instructors and the intrinsic motivation of exercisers, (2) examine the differences between exercisers according to socio-demographic characteristics, (3) and identify the predictive potential of the two scales’dimensions. The study included 220 exercisers in a fitness/health club. The results indicate significant correlations between the perception of the fitness instructor’s behaviour and the intrinsic motivation of the exercisers, with differences in the socio-demographic aspects relating to the participants and in the predictive capacity of the different variables. These results emphasise the importance of promoting high-quality interactions between fitness instructors and exercisers in order to improve their intrinsic motivation and consequent long-term adherence to exercise
