Aim: To analyze the barriers presented by office workers from an administrative sector of a chemical company at the city of São Paulo to not participate in labor gymnastics (GL). Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional, exploratory research. Sample: 176 participants, 98 (55.7%) men and 78 (44.3%) women, average ages 35 and 29 respectively. Non-probabilistic and intentional selection of participants and the company. In the data analysis, descriptive statistics and the chi-square test were adopted (with p < 0.05). Results: 44 participants answered not to participate in the program (12 men and 32 women); the main barriers pointed out by the participants were: “lack of time” (28.4%), “overwork” (19.8%), “miscellaneous commitments” (16.9%), “already practicing physical activity” (14.8%). Conclusion: The organizational factors of work present important barriers that can influence adherence to participation in GL. It is recommended to expand the analysis of organizational factors and the perceptions of workers from all sectors involved, to adapt GL to the peculiarities of the organization.
