The aim of this study is to evaluate the
expectations and perceptions of the service quality of the customers who use
the fitness centers. 175 active (male=120, female=55) volunteers participated
in the study who are the active members of 7 different fitness centers
operating in the Sakarya province. The SERVQUAL scale,
developed by Parasuraman et al. (1988),
adapted to Turkish by Bülbül and Demirer (2008) and prepared in the form of 7
likert, was used as data collection tool. As a result of the reliability
analysis of the scale, expectation part alpha coefficient ,94; the alpha
coefficient of the perception part is 0, 964 and the alpha coefficient of the ,94
scales in total is ,96. As a result of the analysis made in the research, it
was seen that the data set did not show normal distribution. Nonparametric
Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U tests were used in the analyzes. In the study, the expected service and perceived service quality
analyzed in terms of some variables such as gender, income level, the usage
frequency of facility, education level. Expected service and perceived quality
dimensions has been found significant differences in all variables. In addition, the
perceived service and expected service quality values differed significantly (p<,05)
and the expected service scores were found to be higher than the perceived
service scores.
