A fitness assessment form that starts the plan early

Updated 2026-10-30

New clients often arrive with a goal, a bad knee and an hour they cannot spare. I would rather know all three before the first session. One link, sent when they book, gives you the answers and gives them a first small win.

How it works

  1. The client names one main goal, tells you more and picks a date.
  2. They describe their training so far and what they do now.
  3. They say how many days they can train, for how long, and where.
  4. They list limits, sleep, stress and eating habits, and say how they like to be coached.

A short chat with the client's AI

"What is your main goal?" Then "How many days a week can you train?" Then "Do you have injuries I should plan around?" It shows all answers and sends only after a yes. Read about agent-fillable forms.

Good to know

Read limits_to_plan_around before you write a single session. Check your local privacy rules before collecting health data. This is a form, not medical advice.

Send a PAR-Q form before this one. Afterwards, a workout log keeps the clients honest. Find more in forms for gyms. The waiver acknowledgement covers consent.

Questions

Does it replace the first physical assessment?

No. It gives you the story before you meet. Measures, movement tests and anything hands-on still happen in person. The form only saves you from asking the same basics out loud.

How do I plan weeks from the answers?

Download the CSV and read days_available, session_length_pref and goal_target_date together. They tell you how much time there is and when the clock runs out.

Should I link it to the readiness check?

Yes. A checkbox asks if the client has filled in a readiness questionnaire. Send the PAR-Q first, then this form. Anyone who ticks yes on health items needs a doctor's view.
