Welcome
student arrives with fewer repeated questions
A better first welcome
Let students describe experience, goals, preferences, and considerations in their own words.
Ask the same core questions, with conditional follow-ups that match each answer.
Review experience, interests, access needs, and follow-up requests before arrival.
Let students choose what to explain in the form or discuss directly.
Fit the teaching context
Generate the version that fits your offering, then remove questions you will not use.
Capture experience level, style and schedule preferences, goals, accessibility needs, and anything the teacher should consider before class.
Gather richer goal and movement context, appointment availability, and questions for an initial conversation.
Add program-specific questions for prenatal, chair-based, restorative, beginner, or multi-week offerings without crowding every form.
Confirm location, remote access, equipment, reminders, and private follow-up preferences for a defined group series.
Build the intake
Generate, edit, test, and share a form containing only information you will review.
Name the format, audience, setting, and decisions the responses should inform.
Add real styles and schedules, make sensitive details optional, and remove unused questions.
Show follow-ups only for relevant health, equipment, or attendance answers.
Test phone and desktop flows, then assign someone to review responses before class.
Choose the right starting point
Compare generic, paper, and tailored online intake.
Field guide
Ask purposeful questions that support a clear teaching or administrative action.
Identity and contact
Collect enough information to identify the student, send class details, and record their emergency contact.
Experience
Ask about familiarity without making level a test; students may be new to your style or equipment.
Goals and preferences
Offer common goals plus an open response. Ask about pace, instruction, atmosphere, and optional hands-on assistance.
Health considerations
Let students choose what to share about health, discomfort, or restrictions. The intake records context; it does not diagnose.
Access and logistics
Ask about access, location, equipment, and scheduling so the studio can prepare.
Expectations and follow-up
Explain who reviews the intake. Use your reviewed policies and separate marketing consent from class communication.

Practical answers for instructors and studio teams designing a clear new-student intake.
It is a questionnaire completed before a first class or private session. It gathers contact details, experience, goals, preferences, access needs, and considerations the student chooses to share so the instructor can prepare.
Ask for contact and emergency details, experience, goals, class or pace preferences, scheduling, access needs, avoided movements, equipment, and follow-up preferences. Keep only questions that support a clear action.
Use neutral, optional wording about health, movement, comfort, or accessibility. Offer a detail box and private discussion option. Do not use the form to diagnose, prescribe, or promise suitability.
Yes. Conditional logic can show equipment questions for online students or contact times after a follow-up request. Relevant branching keeps the main intake shorter.
Yes. Makeform offers unlimited free forms and responses. Generate, edit, publish, and collect responses without a response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Core questions can be shared, but separate versions are clearer. Group intake can stay brief; private-session intake can ask more about goals, scheduling, movement background, and discussion topics.
Request an update when contact details, preferences, access needs, or circumstances change. Longer programs can use periodic confirmation.
Assign someone to review responses before class, define which answers need private follow-up, and send arrival details. Limit internal access to instructors or administrators who need the information.
Welcome each student with useful context.
