• Abstract:

  ABSTRACT: The work is based on the global evaluation of a Personal Trainer Studio located in the city of João Pessoa, Northeast-Paraíba, involving real work situations carried out in the light of ergonomics applied to biomechanics combined with the project resources of interior design. To this end, tools such as the SPM method (situation, problem, improvement), GUT Matrix (severity, urgency and tendency) were used, in addition to the Painful Areas Diagram with a study of the layout and its interaction with the ten professionals who work in the environment. In the study, adverse conditions in the physical/postural aspect were identified, such as overload on the spine resulting from the lack of support in some areas, in addition to flow problems resulting from restricted circulation between the equipment. This way, it was feasible to propose opportunities for improvement in all the aspects listed by identifying the work situation of that company.
