Abstract Although work hard with the sweat in the shirt presents an ordinary emic expression related to the corporal practices, it is possible to note a little number of investigations that the objective is to explore this conception, symbolically, in the Physical Education. The objective of the study is to understand the representations of some practitioners, emphasizing if there is any relationship between the sweat and their expectations toward the body in some Fitness Centers. The research is a comparative ethnography done in two different (in the social, economic and cultural aspects) Fitness Centers in Rio de Janeiro, during one year. The results show that the multiplicity of meanings related to the sweat by the students had a connection between the engagement and their exercise.
