Data was collected from senior high school students from the University of the Philippines Rural High school through an online survey using Google forms, data were then analyzed using the quantitative and qualitative methods. We determined the state of psychological well-being of the students using Ryff's scale of psychological well-being and the six factors namely self-acceptance, purpose in life, environmental mastery, positive relations, personal growth, and autonomy. From the six dimensions of psychol ogi cal well-being, only positive relations with others, personal growth and autonomy were significantly different. The findings show that, among the dimensions, personal growth, positive relations, and purpose in lifeare significantly different among students in terms of sex, workout duration, years of going to the gym, and frequency of workouts. Among the respondents, males scored higher in personal growth while females scored higher in positive relations. Individuals who said that they go to the gym for l to 2 hours and 2 or more hours have higher perceived personal growth as compared to individuals who only answered 30 minutes. Individuals who said they have less than a year of gym-going experience reported to have higher purpose in life score compared to more experienced individuals. Finally, individuals who said that they go to the gym 3 to 6 times per week reported to have higher personal growth score compared to those who train for less days weekly.
