| Summary: | This research, conducted in the cities of Guayaquil, Samborondón, Milagro and Naranjito, all in the province of Guayas, Ecuador, shows the empiricism which instructors apply in guiding weight training and also a lack of scientific knowledge in planning routines, lack of knowledge of exercises and the proper
amount for rehabilitation, in each pathology and sport. It also considers the wide study area as a sport or as a complementary
activity as well as the benefits of weight training.The results of
surveys and observation forms reveal that, of the 30 respondents only 3 gyms have designed a training program or routine not based on the maximum force test and 3 gyms have a training program which isn´t based on such a test.The purpose of this work was to mark the starting point for instructors and users who go to the gym to learn about the evolution of the weights and the number of methods used to develop muscle hypertrophy, definition and all types of strength.
