Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversitelerin spor ve fitness merkezlerindeki hizmet kalitesinin belirlenmesidir. Çalışmanın katılımcıları Ankara’daki yedi üniversitenin spor ve fitness merkezlerine devam eden öğrenci, akademik ve idari personelden oluşan toplam 484 (194 bayan ve 290 erkek) kişidir. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 22.45 ± 5.14 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ölçüm aracı olarak Hizmet Kalitesi Değerlendirme Ölçeğinin Türkçe Versiyonu (SQAS-T) kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların fark değerlerinin (hizmet kalitesi memnuniyet değerlerinin) dağılımının incelenmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistik kullanılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar, üniversitelerin spor ve fitness merkezlerinde sunulan hizmet kalitesinin kullanıcıların beklentilerini tam olarak karşılamadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Fakat, toplam fark değerlerinin ortalamasına bakıldığında memnuniyetsizlik seviyesinin çok fazla olmadığı da görülmektedir.
