Objective: To evaluate the adoption, reach, and effectiveness of the Active Life Improving Health Program (Programa Vida Ativa Melhorando a Saúde - VAMOS, version 2.0) implemented in Primary Health Care across different regions of Brazil. Methods: This community-based intervention consisted of 12 sessions conducted by health professionals, with assessments performed at baseline and post-intervention. Results: The adoption rate among professionals was 72.7% (n = 8). The reach of the recruitment strategies was 0.34% (n = 231), the intervention reach was 61.0% (n = 141), and the participant retention rate was 75.8% (n = 107). Increases were observed in total physical activity time, reductions in sedentary behavior, improvements in healthy food consumption, decreases in waist circumference, and enhanced perceived quality of life (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The VAMOS Program demonstrated high adoption and reach rates, as well as effectiveness in promoting positive changes in physical activity, healthy eating, body measurements, and perceived quality of life, highlighting its potential as a health promotion strategy within Primary Health Care.
