Introduction: evidence suggests that the lack of physical exercise during the Covid-19 pandemic can result in changes in body weight. Objective: To investigate the relationship between changes in body weight and lifestyle variables during social distancing caused by Covid-19 among gym users. Method: participants in the study were gym-goers from the municipality of Santa Cruz do Sul/RS, Brazil. The study included individuals aged 18 years or older, of both sexes, who were practicing controlled social distancing due to Covid-19 from April to July 2020. Data were collected through a self-reported online questionnaire structured on Google Forms, which gathered sociodemographic and lifestyle data. Descriptive statistics using absolute and relative frequency were employed, and Poisson regression was used to evaluate the prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) (p<0.05). Results: the study included 102 gym users, with a prevalence of females (71.6%) and an average age of 34.78±13.11 years. It was observed that changes in body weight were more prevalent among users who reported poor health status, excessive stress, and lack of physical exercise. Conclusion: predictors of changes in body weight among gym users during social distancing were self-reported poor health status, stress, and lack of physical exercise.
