| Summary: | In this study, the objective was to perform the practical application of SERVQUAL to evaluate the quality of the services of a fitness center in the city of Petrolina, Pernambuco. For this, a descriptive study was carried out to investigate the determining factors that influence quality at the center. The work was based on a bibliographical survey of the main themes, that is, gymnastics services and the SERVQUAL tool. We found that only the empathy factor had an acceptable level of satisfaction. Other factors – tangibility, reliability, responsibility, and safety – exhibited levels of dissatisfaction; therefore, an action plan was proposed, listing both the most relevant problems encountered and suggestions for specific improvements. Finally, we present our conclusions, discussing the possible causes of negative gaps and suggesting the application of other quality tools in order to achieve a better level of satisfaction with the service provided. |
