Abstract

This research conducted a performance evaluation on the Health Gym Program in Belo Horizonte, MG. It is a qualitative case study and the choice of Gym and participants was intentional. We used in-depth interview to collect data and the sample was set by saturation. To interpret the information, we used critical discourse analysis. The results point to some gaps in the program such as proper logistics, coordination between Gym and Basic Health Unit, and clear goals. As positive aspects we found professionals’ satisfaction in working in the program and students’ satisfaction in participating in the classes. We concluded that the evaluation model adopted contributed to finding important operational conditions that can help managers to make decisions regarding the development of the program.
