The questionnaire forms were applied as a face-to-face interview for 60 volunteers, 30 of them in MAKÜ and the others in the PAU, in the fitness centers of MAKU and PAU in March-April 2018. The questionnaire data were analyzed using SPSS program. With this study, it was found that there were differences in the answers of the users in terms of accessibility, in place routing signs, area size, cafeteria, ventilation, number of fitness equipment, and music in the MAKU and PAU fitness centers.
