The purpose of this study is to examine the relative predictive abilities of self-efficacy (SE) for exercise attendance, retrospective exercise enjoyment, and environmental factors for predicting female participants' attendance for step aerobics classes at a university activity center. The final sample for this study consisted of 71 females, each enrolled in at least 12 hours of classes. Participants were surveyed during the fourth week of exercise classes and attendance was monitored for the next ten weeks. Regression analyses revealed that SE (20%) and hours of classes enrolled in (5%) were significant predictors of exercise attendance. Implications of the results of this study and suggestions for future research are presented.
