Before the first session
A structured intake gives clients time to respond and instructors a consistent record to review.
Ask what brought the client in and which movements they want sessions to support.
Show injury details after a client reports a concern; give others a shorter path.
Review experience and preferences in advance, then clarify during the session.
Flexible by practice
Keep the core intake consistent, then adapt equipment, scheduling, and program questions.
Gather goals, exercise history, preferences, and availability before a private appointment.
Ask about equipment familiarity and identify clients needing an introduction.
Combine intake with program selection and accessibility needs.
Tag submissions so the assigned instructor can review them.
Build your intake
Generate the structure, refine the questions to match your practice, and share one clear intake link before the first session.
Name your session format and the information you need before arrival.
Adjust wording and add studio-specific equipment, program, or scheduling options.
Show injury questions only when relevant and invite context.
Send the link, route notifications, and review responses before the session.
Intake approaches
A tailored online intake makes goals, background, and follow-ups easier to review.
Field guide
Collect only information you plan to review and use. These six sections create a practical picture without asking clients to make medical judgments.
Client basics
Connect each response to the right person, instructor, and booking. Keep administrative fields brief.
Goals
Let clients describe the activities or confidence they want to work toward. Open wording adds context.
Movement background
Ask about Pilates familiarity and current activities. Equipment questions help you prepare orientation.
Injuries and concerns
Ask whether injuries or discomfort may affect movement. Gather context without requesting a diagnosis.
Teaching preferences
Ask about pace, explanation, feedback, and personal space to inform communication.
Practical follow-up
Finish with an emergency contact and open note. Add only studio acknowledgments you use.

Practical answers for studios and instructors preparing for new clients.
It is a questionnaire completed before a first session. It collects contact details, goals, movement background, injuries or concerns, preferences, and practical information for the instructor.
Ask about their reasons for attending, goals, Pilates experience, current activities, injuries, avoided movements, guidance received, coaching preferences, accessibility, scheduling, and emergency contact. Remove fields you will not use.
Use neutral wording. Ask whether an injury or discomfort may affect movement, then ask where it is, when it began, and which movements affect it. Do not request a diagnosis.
Yes. Conditional logic can reveal location, timing, and movement follow-ups after a client selects yes. Others continue through a shorter path.
They can share core questions, but tailor the form. Private intake may emphasize goals and availability; group intake may emphasize program selection, accessibility, and attendance.
Yes. Ask about reformer experience, equipment familiarity, preferred level, and orientation needs. Keep the broader goals and injury questions too.
Yes. Makeform is unlimited free for generating, editing, publishing, and collecting responses. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.

Know the client before the first hello.
