This study investigates the lived experiences of college students at a selected university in the Philippines regarding their participation in physical activities. Utilizing a phenomenological research design, the researcher conducted in-depth interviews with 25 students to explore the barriers and perceived impacts of fitness participation. Key themes identified include time constraints, motivational factors, environmental barriers, social influences, and health conditions as significant obstacles to engagement. Participants reported positive outcomes related to physical health and mental well-being, including increased energy and enhanced cognitive functioning, aligning with existing research linking physical activity to improved academic performance. However, concerns about the time commitment required for fitness participation emerged, highlighting the need for a balanced approach. This study underscores the necessity for universities to implement effective fitness participation programs that address these barriers and promote student well-being. By fostering an active lifestyle, educational institutions can contribute to the holistic development of their students, enhancing both physical health and academic success.
