The Personal Trainer Client Intake & Consultation Questionnaire
A free, ready-to-use questionnaire to run better first consultations
Stop guessing what your new client actually needs. Start asking.
Starting a new client with a generic workout plan is a fast way to miss what actually matters: a past injury, a schedule that makes four sessions unrealistic, or a goal that has nothing to do with the number on the scale.
This free intake and consultation questionnaire gives you a simple, ready-to-use way to collect the information you need before you write a program, run your first assessment, or set expectations. It's the information-gathering step that helps you coach the person in front of you, not the person you assume they are, and it helps clients feel heard from day one.
We cover all this and more inside:
- Contact and emergency information, so you know how to reach your client and who to call if you need to
- A short health and PAR-Q-style screening, to flag when a referral is the right next step before training begins
- A dedicated injury and pain history section, kept separate from general health questions
- Goals and motivation questions that go beyond "lose weight" or "build muscle"
- Training history, preferences, equipment, and lifestyle factors that shape a realistic program
- Availability and coaching logistics, plus a client acknowledgment section and coach follow-up notes
You've got a new client ready to start — now it's time to actually get to know them.
