Objective: to understand the self-perception of the benefits and motivations for practicing CrossFitTM. Methods: descriptive study, with a cross-sectional design and quantitative-qualitative approach, carried out in 2022 with students from a box affiliated with the CrossFitTM brand who responded to a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel and Epi Info™ applications, with data presentation in a descriptive table, with absolute and relative frequencies and proportion estimates (p ? 0.95), in addition to thematic analysis. Results: the main motivations for joining and remaining in the practice of CrossFitTM were health/quality of life, aesthetics, social relationships and technical improvement. The self-perception of practitioners shows physical, psychological and social benefits, associated with improved quality of life and aspects related to morbidities. Conclusion: with time of practice, reasons may change when technical improvement and the perception of community, seen as principles of the CrossFitTM brand, contribute to student retention.
