Özet

This study aimed to evaluate the risk management practices in fitness facilities in Turkey from the perspective of facility managers. The study was designed as a general survey research, one of the quantitative research methods. The study participants comprised 263 managers working in Turkey's three most prominent cities. As a data collection tool, "The Risk Management Scale in Health and Fitness Facilities" developed by researchers was used. As a result, it is seen that the managers have high scores for risk management practices in their facilities in all sub-dimensions. Their facilities' highest risk management practices are in member services, structure, and design, then policy, respectively. It is determined that there are positive and high-level relations between the most policy-oriented practices of facility managers regarding risk management, followed by their practices towards structure and design and member services.
