Abstract: The exercise program called 'omnibus' aerobics represents an exercise program specially designed to meet the needs of women for recreational exercise, as well as motivation to improve physical appearance and body weight regulation. 'Omnibus' aerobics incorporates a variety of program content with the primary goal, in addition to local and general effects on the body; to make the exercise more interesting and accessible to trainees. The aim of this research was to determine the effects of implementing a specially designed group fitness program on selected morphological characteristics of the trainees. The survey was conducted on the sample of female respondents (n = 10), aged 33.6 ± 6, who led sedentary lifestyle up to the start of application of the experimental program (less than 30 minutes of physical activity a week). The average height of women was 170 ± 6 cm and the average body mass at the initial measurement was 74.2 ± 12.73 kg. The effects of the 'omnibus' aerobics were observed in the area of morphologic characteristics and motor variables from the area of force. After the experimental program that lasted for six months, three times a week for an hour, there was a statistically significant change in most of the researched variables. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that a specially designed exercise program called 'omnibus' aerobics leads to positive changes in body composition, as well as in selected motor variables from the area of force.
