A personal training questionnaire covers contact details, training setup, injury flags, weekly commitment, goals, and preferred session times.
Starting personal training can feel like a gamble, because the client wants clear direction but doesn’t want a first session that ignores an old knee, back, or shoulder issue. The personal training questionnaire gets the basics down before anyone books, so the trainer can plan a safe first block and the client doesn’t walk in wondering if there’s a real plan behind the workouts.
The form opens with Personal Training Questionnaire, then moves into About your training on a blue-and-green page with Space Grotesk headings and Roboto body text. The questions cover where training will happen, whether the first session should include a movement assessment, any current joint issues that need flagging, how many sessions per week are realistic, the main goal, and which days and times work for sessions... so the next step can match the answers instead of guessing.
- Personal Training Questionnaire Intro text explains what the form collects before training starts and that the answers get reviewed before sharing next steps and a booking link.
- Your details Name, email, and phone number fields collect the contact info needed to reply and set up sessions.
- Training location A multiple-choice question confirms where sessions will usually happen, including gym, condo gym, at home with equipment, or outdoor.
- Safety and assessment Questions ask whether the first session should include a movement assessment and whether knee, back, or shoulder problems need to be taken into account.
- Availability and goals The form captures weekly session commitment, the main training goal, and preferred days and times for sessions.
Once the form is in Plutio, responses land in one place, and the trainer can follow up with suggested next steps and a link to book time through scheduling.
We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.
