Strength Training Program Intake Form

Build Stronger Clients with a Comprehensive Strength Training Intake Form

Starting a new client on a strength training program requires more than just knowing their fitness goals. You need to understand their lifting experience, assess any physical limitations, evaluate their equipment access, and gauge their readiness for progressive overload—all before designing a safe, effective program.

This Strength Training Program Intake Form gives personal trainers, fitness coaches, and gym owners a streamlined way to collect everything they need in one place. Instead of juggling emails, text messages, and scattered notes, you'll have a complete client profile that informs smarter programming decisions from day one.

What Makes This Template Essential for Trainers

Built specifically for strength and conditioning professionals working with beginner to intermediate lifters, this form captures:

• Lifting history and experience level across major movement patterns (squat, deadlift, press, pull)
• Equipment access to tailor programs for home gym setups, commercial facilities, or minimal equipment
• Joint health and injury history to identify modifications and contraindications before they become problems
• Current training capacity and readiness for progressive overload protocols
• Form check video uploads so you can assess technique remotely before the first session

The form also includes space for goal setting, scheduling preferences, and program expectations—helping you align your coaching with what clients actually want to achieve.

Send a welcome email, create a client folder in Google Drive, add them to your CRM or scheduling tool, and notify your team—all without lifting a finger.
