What should a fitness assessment form ask?

The readiness screening questions first, then goals and history. A yes to any screening question should change the route through the form rather than being noted and ignored.

Do I need a health screening before training someone?

Most insurers and governing bodies expect one, and it is the responsible thing regardless. Keep the answers, keep them private, and refer on when the answers say to.

Can the form refuse a booking based on the answers?

It can route them somewhere different. Use logic so a yes on a screening question leads to an ending that asks for medical clearance rather than to the booking.

Can clients sign a waiver in the same form?

Yes. A signature question captures a drawn signature with the submission, alongside the screening answers it relates to.

Is this fitness assessment form template free?

Yes. Use it, publish it and collect answers on the free plan with no card. Paid plans add things like payments, scheduling, removing our badge and your own domain, but none of them are needed to run this form.

Do I need an account to use it?

You need one to edit and publish, because the form has to live somewhere and the answers have to come back to you. Signing up takes about a minute and does not ask for a card. The people filling your form in never need an account.

Can I change the questions?

All of them. The template is a starting point, not a fixed form: add, remove, reword and reorder anything, change the look, and use logic so people only see the questions that apply to them.

Can I put it on my own website?

Yes. Embed it in a page you already have, or share the link. On a paid plan you can serve it from your own domain so the address says your name rather than ours.

Where do the answers go?

Into your dashboard, where you can read, search and export them as CSV. You can also have each response emailed to you, pushed to another tool with a webhook, or sent to a connected integration.

How long does this form take to fill in?

About 2.5 minutes as it stands, across 7 questions. Every question you cut brings that down, and shorter forms get finished more often.

Fitness assessment

For trainers and studios. The medical clearance question is the one that protects both of you, and it's deliberately hard to skip past.

Worth knowing

The welcome screen and the intro text above the first question carry example turnaround times, policies and promises. Rewrite them as yours before you publish — they are the part respondents take literally.
