Resumo
This essay has as its target comprehend the body, from the clients of an exclusive
fitness center for women on the country of Vitória/ES. More specifically, this research
investigates the relationship established between the students and the daily and
methodologic dinamic in this fitness center, the care and the speeches of the
students on the body, beauty, health and influence of consumer products and
services in this process. The research evolved through the participating observations
at Contours Fitness Center, originating from a network of international franchises, in
addition, semi-strctured interviwes were conducted with the students , the owner and
the teacher physical education. The theoretical dialogue of the work favored some
elements of Gilles Lipovetsky approach to the contemporany contexto and the
characteristics of modern woman, at the some time, we rely on his contributions to
reflect and talk on the elements that underlie female body. Among the consideration
outlined in the dissertation, we identified the researched fitness center has
equipaments, training and personal assistence, besides to adopt a methodolody that
does not favor the interaction/socialization among the students. Their profiles are
similar to the characteristics of contemporany woman, according to Lipovetsky’s
approach, especially as regardes their entry into the world of work, the devitalization
of the ideal of housewife and certain bodily autonomy. The comprehension of
respondentes about the body are close to the ideals of universalized body, a pattern
that involves low fat and muscle definition. The beauty is related to emotional
wellness, but at the same time, there is a great physical and finantial investment in
relation to body care.
