Hoje em dia os equipamentos de ginástica representam algo comum no dia a dia do ser humano. Por esta razão, o número de profissionais do setor e de recursos humanos (cargos) está aumentando quantitativa e significativamente em todo o mundo. Este artigo fornece uma revisão sistemática abrangente do estado atual da pesquisa científica sobre profissionais de fitness em relação ao uso de produtos e recursos de fitness. A síntese temática realizada permitiu definir e organizar os conteúdos em três categorias piramidais e as palavras-chave selecionadas ofereceram cerca de 49 artigos amplamente analisados: (1) proprietários/diretores; (2) treinadores pessoais; e (3) instrutores. A discussão de cada categoria e de todas as relações existentes com equipamentos de fitness está avançada e definida. Os trabalhadores das áreas da saúde e do desporto devem reconhecer o relevante contributo das características destes agentes para maximizar o papel das máquinas de fitness e bem-estar na promoção do lazer e de hábitos saudáveis nas sociedades. Além disso, profissionais e pesquisadores poderiam aproveitar os dados fornecidos para aprofundar o conhecimento e a educação sobre esses tipos de ferramentas. Devido à importância atual do setor, a padronização e regulamentação de cada categoria de trabalho na indústria do fitness está pronta para ser fortalecida também sob estes pontos de vista, tanto científicos quanto práticos.
