Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease that affects patients’ quality of life, leading to reduced physical activity levels. This problem can therefore be attenuated by promoting physical exercise training programs (PETP). The aim of this pilot study was to develop and validate a PETP, “Pessoas com Fibra”, designed to increase physical activity and improve the quality of life of women diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, aged between 30 and 60. The PETP was designed and validated by physical fitness specialists in accordance with Revised Guidelines for Reporting Criteria on the Development and Evaluation of Complex Health Interventions and the Consensus Guidelines on Physical Exercise Programme Reporting Model. It went through three phases: development, piloting and evaluation. This study presents an intervention proposal based on improving the participants' Fibromyalgia symptoms. “Pessoas com Fibra” program proposal presents suggestions for adaptation to the target population and exercises that can be replicated by professionals in the field of physical exercise and health.
