Cycling Studio New Rider Intake Form

Starting a new indoor cycling journey should be exciting, not intimidating. Whether you're opening a boutique spin studio, running a performance cycling facility, or managing a gym with cycling classes, getting accurate rider information upfront is essential for safety, comfort, and retention.

This Cycling Studio New Rider Intake Form helps you collect everything you need to set up each rider for success—from precise bike measurements and cycling shoe sizes to experience levels and personal comfort preferences. With this template, you can ensure every new rider gets a bike setup tailored to their body and a class experience matched to their fitness level.

Why intake forms matter for cycling studios

Indoor cycling is incredibly popular, but it's also physically demanding. Without proper bike setup, riders can experience discomfort, poor form, or even injury. This form captures critical details like inseam measurements, saddle height preferences, handlebar reach, and any saddle sensitivity issues so your instructors can dial in the perfect fit before class starts.

You'll also learn about each rider's cycling background—whether they're transitioning from outdoor cycling, coming from another studio, or completely new to the sport. Understanding their resistance preference (heavy climbs vs. fast sprints) and any physical limitations helps you recommend the right class intensity and coaching style.

How Paperform makes rider intake seamless

With Paperform's intuitive doc-style editor, you can build an intake form that feels welcoming and on-brand for your studio. Add your logo, studio photos, and brand colors to make a great first impression. Use conditional logic to show relevant follow-up questions based on experience level—beginners see setup guidance, while experienced cyclists can skip straight to preferences.

Embed the form directly on your website, include it in welcome emails, or send it via SMS after someone books their first class. When riders submit the form, their information flows automatically into your CRM, class management software, or Google Sheets via Paperform's native integrations or Stepper workflows.

Automate onboarding with Stepper

Turn each intake submission into a complete onboarding workflow using Stepper (stepper.io). When a new rider completes the form, Stepper can automatically add them to your studio management system, send a personalized welcome email with class tips, notify instructors about riders who need extra setup assistance, and schedule a follow-up check-in after their first few rides.

For studios offering shoe rentals or retail, you can even tag submissions by shoe size and send targeted promotions for cycling shoes or gear.

Built for fitness professionals who care about experience

This template is trusted by boutique cycling studios, gym cycling programs, and wellness centers that understand the power of personalization. Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and works seamlessly with tools like Mindbody, Mariana Tek, Glofox, and other fitness platforms through Stepper or Zapier integrations.

Start every rider relationship on the right foot—or pedal—with a professional intake form that shows you care about their comfort, safety, and success from day one.
