The study population of the 4 Sport Centers of Ankara Keçiören Municipality is composed of 356 female and 129 male members. Sports facilities, centers of service quality perceptions and Gürbüz et al. (2005) as a measurement tool to determine their expectations made for the validity and reliability of Turkey, Service Quality Assessment Scale was used. This scale consists of sub-dimensions of personnel, program, dressing room, physical facility and training facility. With the obtained data, frequency, percentage value, arithmetic mean and standard deviation analyzes were performed and the data were calculated with the reliability coefficient method to determine the internal consistency of the scale. In order to determine the service quality in general, the differences between the perception scores were subtracted from the expectation scores and “paired-sample t test, independent sample t test and one-way analysis of variance were used to find the differences between the groups. As a result, when the service quality is evaluated in general, the difference between perception and expectation is -0.49, and this value has come to the conclusion that the expectations of the sports center customers are not fully met.
