Syfte Syftet med studien är att undersöka träningsmål och motivation till träning hos gymmedlemmar. Detta för att få ökad kunskap om gymmedlemmar drivs av inre motivation eller yttre motivation och vilka träningsmål gymmedlemmarna har. Förutom det undersöks även om det finns någon skillnad på motivationstyp och träningsmål hos de som tränar i gymmet och de som tränar gruppträning.   Metod Studien bestod av en kvantitativ undersökning i form av enkät. Enkäterna genomfördes med hjälp av färdiga mätinstrument, vilka var BREQ-3 och EMI-2. I undersökningen deltog 82 personer, varav 27 var män och 55 var kvinnor.   Resultat Det starkaste träningsmålet bland medlemmarna var hälsan. Det kom även fram att kroppen hade en tendens att vara träningsmål. Bland gymmedlemmarna drevs de flesta av inre, integrerad och identifierad motivation. Det visades inga stora skillnader bland de som tränade gruppträning och de som tränade gymträning.  Inre motivation var något högra än de som tränade gruppträning (M=4,1) i gym (M=3,9).   Diskussion Sammanfattningsvis visade studien att de mål som de flesta av gymmedlemmarna hade handlade om hälsa. De var mestadels långsiktiga och det visar på att de var motiverade och hade en positiv inställning till att klara träningen. De drevs främst av självbestämmande motivation, det vill säga inre, integrerad och identifierad motivation, detta tyder på att de trivs med sin träning och vet varför de tränar. / Purpose The purpose of the study was to investigate training and motivation goals for the training and motivation of gym members.
