Personal Training Client Intake Form Template
Onboard new training clients in one shareable link — goals, health history, injuries, and signed waiver in a single form, ready before their first session.
A complete intake form for personal trainers, coaches, and small studios. It captures the contact details, training history, health flags, goals, and signed waiver you need before putting a new client under a barbell or on a treadmill — without the back-and-forth email thread.

Key features of this personal training client intake form template
Everything you need to launch this form in minutes, share it with your team, and collect submissions reliably.
Built around PAR-Q screening
The health-history block follows the structure trainers actually use — medications, chronic conditions, doctor clearance, and recent injuries — so nothing important slips past intake.
Signature and waiver in the same form
A typed or drawn signature is captured alongside the consent checkbox, timestamped, and stored with the rest of the response. No second PDF to chase.
File upload for medical clearance
Clients can attach bloodwork, a doctor note, or a previous program PDF directly to their intake. Files stay tied to the submission instead of getting lost in email.
Goal field that actually gets read
A free-text goal box plus a dropdown for primary outcome — trainers get both the structured tag (for sorting) and the client's own words (for context).
Mobile-first by default
The form is built to be filled out on a phone in under 5 minutes. Dropdowns, radios, and the signature pad all work cleanly on small screens.
Auto-route new clients to your tools
Push each submission into a Google Sheets roster, drop a Slack ping in your coaching channel, or fire a webhook to your CRM the moment the waiver is signed.

Ways to use this template
Solo personal trainer onboarding
A trainer running a small one-on-one business sends the link the moment a new client books their first session. By the time the session starts, the trainer has goals, injury history, and a signed waiver on file — no clipboard in sight.
Online coaching program
A remote coach uses the form as step 1 of their program signup. The dropdown goal field auto-tags clients into fat-loss, hypertrophy, or hybrid tracks so the coach can build the first 4-week block before their kickoff call.
Studio gym membership intake
A boutique studio with 6 trainers feeds every new member through the same form. Responses land in a shared Google Sheet, and the studio manager assigns a trainer based on goal, schedule, and experience level the same day.
Pre/postnatal specialist screening
A specialist coach edits the template to add pregnancy-stage and clearance-letter questions. The file-upload field catches the doctor's note, and the trainer never starts a session without it.
University strength and conditioning
An athletic department uses the form for every student-athlete each season. Signature and emergency-contact fields satisfy the compliance office, and Slack alerts notify the head S&C coach when a new intake comes in.
Physical therapy to fitness handoff
A hybrid PT-fitness clinic uses the form to graduate rehab patients into general training. The injury history and medical-clearance upload give the trainer the context they need to keep the patient progressing without re-injury.
Workflow integrations
Connect this form to your existing tools with no middleware. Every submission triggers your workflow automatically.
Real-time sync
Data appears in your CRM or spreadsheet within 1–2 seconds of submission — no cron jobs, no delays.
Conditional routing
Route submissions to different Slack channels, HubSpot pipelines, or Airtable bases based on field values.
Two-way data flow
Pre-fill form fields with CRM data for returning visitors. Update existing records instead of creating duplicates.
Why choose Flexform?
Frequently asked questions
Is this form HIPAA compliant?
FlexForm provides the form-building and data-collection layer, but HIPAA compliance also depends on how you store and access responses. For straightforward personal-training intake — not protected health information from a covered entity — this template is appropriate as-is. If you operate under HIPAA, contact our team about a Business Associate Agreement.
Can clients sign on their phone?
Yes. The signature field renders as a touch-friendly pad on mobile, so clients can sign with their finger and the signature is stored alongside the rest of their response. It works on both Android and iOS browsers.
How do I add my own questions, like a 1-rep-max block or sport-specific drills?
Open the form in the FlexForm editor and describe the change in plain English — "add 3 number fields for squat, bench, and deadlift 1-rep max in pounds" — and the AI rebuilds that section. You can also drag-and-drop fields manually if you prefer.
Where do submitted intake forms go?
Every response lives in your FlexForm dashboard by default, exportable to CSV. You can also pipe submissions to Google Sheets for a running roster, send a Slack notification to your coaching channel, or fire a webhook to your CRM or booking tool.
Can I embed the form inside my own fitness app?
Yes. FlexForm ships a Kotlin Multiplatform SDK that renders the form natively inside Android and iOS apps. That means intake stays in your branded app instead of bouncing the user out to a browser tab.
What about the waiver — does a digital signature hold up legally?
In most jurisdictions, electronic signatures on a clearly worded waiver are enforceable for personal-training contexts. The submission is timestamped and tied to the client's email and IP, which is usually enough for liability purposes. Consult a local lawyer if you're working in a high-risk specialty.
Is there a free plan I can start with?
Yes. FlexForm has a free forever plan that covers a solo trainer with steady client flow. You only need to upgrade when you want higher submission limits, premium integrations, or white-label branding.
How long does it take a client to fill out?
Most clients finish in 4 to 6 minutes on their phone. The structured fields move fast, and the only slow parts are the goal paragraph and the signature — both of which you actually want them to spend a moment on.
