This study aimed to evaluate the influence of a 16-week concurrent exercise program on health-related quality of life in middle-aged women. A total of 150 middle-aged women from the FLAMENCO project (age range 45–60 years) were randomized into a counseling ( n  = 75) or an exercise ( n  = 75) group. The exercise group followed a 16-week (3 days/week, 60 min/session) concurrent exercise program (aerobic + resistance training). The counseling group attended conferences on a healthy lifestyle. Participants’ health-related quality of life was assessed with the EuroQol plus, a visual analog scale and the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), where greater values indicate a better health-related quality of life. The visual analog scale increased by 9.0% in the exercise group, whereas it only increased by 3.5% in the counseling group ( p  = 0.040). The SF-36 physical function, physical role, bodily pain, vitality and emotional role increased by 5.5%, 11.3%, 10.8%, 9.6% and 8.9%, respectively, in the exercise group, whereas these only increased by 0.6%, decreased by 0.7% and increased by 1.4%, 3.8% and 0.6% in the counseling group (all  p  &lt; 0.05). Our results suggest that a 16-week concurrent exercise program adapted for midlife women improved their health-related quality of life. NCT02358109. Date of registration: 05/02/2015
