Insufficient physical activity is a growing problem of the human population. Although awareness of the need for physical activity and a healthy lifestyle is growing, there are still a large number of people who are insufficiently physically active. The research goal was to examine the characteristics and profiles of physically active people, ie people who regularly visit fitness centres. The conclusion of the research is that, although the population is engaged in some forms of recreation, it cannot be said that tested population lives completely healthy. The number of smokers and people who consume alcohol in this population is large, what tells us about the need to educate the entire population about healthy lifestyle. Research has shown that there is a difference between men and women in the variables of alcohol consumption and dietary supplements, ie those men's consume more alcohol and dietary supplements. Men are more, or have been, involved in competitive sports than women, which again confirms the thesis that globally women's sports are less developed than men's. Both sexes are equally satisfied with their physical appearance and are equally concerned about body weight. For men, the goal of coming to the fitness centre is to increase muscle mass and strength, while for women is to increase work ability. For both sexes, stressed reason for visiting fitness centre is relaxation. Research has shown that men visit fitness centre more often than women.
