This paper is an experience report about an extension project developed at Universidade do Estado da Bahia – Campus XII (Guanambi). The project aims to offer workplace exercises for the employees of this institution, in order to contribute to their quality of life, and to sensitize them to adopting a healthy lifestyle. The classes took place between April and November of 2017. This report comes from the observations during the classes and the questionnaire applied to the participants at the end of project. It was possible to identify the contributions of the laboral gymnastics to the servants through the manifestations when they did the activities, especially the recreational ones, also through their social interactions, conversations about the continuity of the project, their answers to the questionnaires, mainly regarding the decrease of muscular pains, and finally, their understanding about the importance of the workplace exercises.
