Waiver and sign-up forms for gyms and fitness studios

A sign-up form with the waiver and the health questions built in, signed before the first class and on record the moment it's sent.

What's wrong with the paper you use now?

A new member signs up at the front desk: the waiver, the contact details, the health questions, all on one clipboard, filled in while the class they came for is starting.

The health questions get a row of ticks. The emergency contact is a first name. The waiver goes into a binder with every other waiver since the day you opened.

And the day you need one, somebody goes through the binder.

What does a better sign-up form do?

It takes the whole sign-up before the member walks in, and keeps it where you can find it.

• When someone answers yes to a health question, it asks the follow-up you would ask.
• It won't send without an emergency contact name and phone number, and it won't send without the signature.
• It can ask a parent or guardian to sign as well, for members below an age you choose.
• Every signed form stays on record with the answers that came with it, so finding one means searching a name, not a binder.

You still meet every new member. You meet them with the paperwork already done.

Isn't the form on my website enough?

The contact box on your website asks everyone the same few questions: name, email, message. Changing it often means going back to whoever built your site, and paying for their time. So it stays the way it was built.

A live form is yours to change. Add a question when you add a class, the same day and without calling anyone.

Isn't a fillable PDF the same thing?

This isn't a fillable PDF. A PDF waiver on your website asks the member to download it, sign it, save it and email it back. And it puts every health follow-up in front of every member, whether they answered yes or not. A form on the page takes the signature on the screen, and the signed copy is in your inbox the moment they send it.

What about people who walk in without signing up?

Put the form on a tablet at the front desk, or print it as a QR code on the door, and they sign up on the spot. The tablet can reset after each person, so the next one starts on a blank form.

Can a new member pay with the sign-up?

Yes. Connect a payment processor to the form, and the new member pays as they sign up.

Does the waiver hold up?

The form collects the signature and keeps it on record with the date and the answers. What your waiver says, and whether it holds up where you are, is for whoever writes your waivers.

Who is this not for?

If you run membership software that collects waivers at sign-up, use it. That's where your members already are.

This is for the gym or studio whose sign-ups are still a clipboard, a binder, or an emailed PDF. A large operation with many people building forms is a different conversation too.

What does it cost?

The platform we deploy on has a free entry tier, and the form we build runs on it. The free tier shows the platform's own branding on the form and has some monthly limits. A studio that outgrows the free tier can move to a paid one, on terms the platform sets, not us.
