A new client signs up, and suddenly you are trading a dozen messages just to learn their goals, injuries, and training history. Then every few weeks you do it all again for a check-in. It is scattered, easy to lose track of, and a rough first impression for someone who just trusted you with their fitness. Now you can gather all of that in one clean, professional flow. Boost Fitness lets you build your own questionnaires, send them to clients, and collect their answers in one place, so you can spend your time coaching instead of chasing. ## Build the forms your coaching actually needs Every coach works differently, so you are not stuck with someone else's template. You can build your own questionnaires from scratch and shape them around the way you run your business. There are two kinds to work with: - **Onboarding forms** for everything you need to know when a new client joins, like goals, injury history, lifestyle, and what has and hasn't worked for them before. - **Check-in forms** for the regular questions you ask along the way, like how the week went, energy levels, sleep, and how they are feeling about their programme. Ask exactly what you need to ask, in your own words, and keep the whole thing on brand for your coaching. ## Assign forms and let clients fill them in themselves Once a form is ready, you assign it to a client and you are done. From there, they complete it in their own time straight from [**the redesigned member area**](https://boostfitness.io/blog/member-area-redesign), the same place they already go for their workouts and progress. No back-and-forth. No copying answers out of your messages. The information lands with you, organised and ready to use, so onboarding feels smooth and put-together from day one. ## Stop chasing details over messages Trying to piece together a client's history from a stream of chat replies is a recipe for missed details. One important note gets buried, and you only find out weeks later. Structured forms fix that. Instead of loose messages, you get clear, consistent answers to the exact questions you asked, every time. That means: - A complete picture of each client before you write their first programme - Consistent check-in data you can actually compare week to week - Less admin for you, and a more professional experience for them It is a simple shift, but it changes how prepared you feel walking into every coaching relationship. This is a natural extension of the [**client management**](https://boostfitness.io/features/clients) tools you already rely on to keep everything in one place. ## Keep required steps in order Some questions simply have to be answered before anything else can happen. You would not want to start programming for a client without knowing their injury history. That is why you can mark a form as required. When you do, the client completes it before they move on, so nothing important slips through the cracks and your onboarding stays tidy and complete. Everyone starts on the same page, in the same order, every time. ## Edit your templates without messing up past clients Here is a small detail that saves a lot of headaches. When you assign a form, the version you send is captured for that client at that moment. So if you tweak your onboarding form next month, adding a question or rewording something, the forms already sitting with existing clients stay exactly as they were sent. You are free to keep improving your templates over time, and you never have to worry about accidentally changing a form someone has already started or completed. ## Key takeaways - Build your own **onboarding forms** and **check-in questionnaires**, tailored to how you coach. - **Assign them to clients**, who complete them from their member area, no back-and-forth required. - Mark forms as **required** so clients finish the important steps before moving on. - Get **structured, consistent answers** instead of digging through messages. - **Edit templates freely** over time without changing forms already sent to clients. ## Give your clients a better first impression Great coaching starts before the first workout. When onboarding feels organised and your check-ins are consistent, clients trust that they are in good hands, and you get the clear information you need to do your best work.
