This study examined active lifestyle, physical fitness, and teacher character among elementary and junior high school teachers in Pasuruan. Teachers require adequate physical condition and positive character to perform effectively and serve as role models. A quantitative descriptive-comparative design was applied with 150 teachers. Active lifestyle was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), physical fitness through a 2,400-meter run or walk test, and teacher character via a validated character scale. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and one-sample t-tests in Jamovi. Results indicated that teachers’ active lifestyle exceeded the reference standard (M = 972 MET-minutes/week), while physical fitness remained below the expected standard (M = 17.4). Teacher character scored very high (M = 39.1). Although teachers demonstrated sufficient daily physical activity and strong character, structured exercise is still needed to improve fitness levels. Schools and education authorities are encouraged to support regular fitness programs that enhance teachers’ health, work motivation, and instructional quality.
