Objective: This study aims to evaluate the associations between quality of life and sociodemographic characteristics, motivation, and frequency and time of practice in practitioners of an extreme conditioning program. Methods: Observational descriptive-exploratory type research, with a convenience sample consisting of CrossFit® practitioners. The practitioners answered a demographic data questionnaire, and the WHOQOL-bref instrument was used to assess the quality of life. Results: Of the 260 practitioners evaluated, 59.61% were female. The highest means of QoL scores were for the physical domain (79.8 ± 11.76), social domain (74.1 ± 15.59), psychological domain (73.2 ± 13.67), and environment domain (70.7 ± 12.14). Practice time showed positive correlations with all QoL domains. Conclusions: The practitioners showed good results for quality of life, with the highest scores for the physical domain, followed by the social domain, the psychological domain, and finally, the environment domain. Longer practice time was correlated with higher averages for all QoL domains.
