The purpose of this program was to increase insufficiently active employee’s exercise participation. Using the one way analysis of variance, there was a significant difference between groups for self-reported, moderate-intensity minutes at post-test, follow-up one and follow-up two (p=.001). There was a significant difference in moderate-intensity frequency at post-test, follow-up one and follow-up two (p=.001). There was also a significant difference between groups for vigorous-intensity minutes at post-test (p=.001), follow-up one (p=.001) and follow-up two (p=.002). Additionally, there was a significant difference between groups for vigorous-intensity frequency at post-test, follow-up one and follow-up two (p=.001). Using the one way analysis of variance to examine the social cognitive theory constructs, there was a significant difference between groups for self-regulation at post-test, follow-up one and follow-up two (p=.001). There was not a significant difference between groups for self-efficacy at any time period. Family and friend social support group differences were non-significant at post-test and follow-up one, but there was a significant difference at follow-up two (p=.001). Between group differences for exercise enjoyment was non-significant for post-test but significant for follow-up (p=.003). Outcome expectations and expectancies was non-significant for all time periods. The present study was successful in increasing the short and long-term exercise rates of the participants.
