The Top 3 Ways to Use Digital Forms in Your Gym

Making impactful operational changes to onboarding new gym members with these top digital forms

In this day and age, exercising is engraved into most daily schedules. Nowadays, there are various ways to train, whether it’s at a fully functional gym with free weights and workout equipment or a more specialized gym like a rock climbing facility – and they all require similar forms in order to participate. Oftentimes, gyms have a front desk that handles all paperwork and administrative work for the facility. These administrative professionals are tasked with handling new clients or simply new visitors for the day, but all require to fill out a form in order to be allowed into the facility. In most cases, new customers are asked to fill out forms and then hand back those handwritten forms to the administrators who are responsible for manually inputting that information back into their client database.

Digitizing these gym forms can significantly amplify this process, resulting in a decrease in wasted resources, increase in productivity, and enhance the overall customer experience from start to finish. With GoFormz, you can easily take your paper forms, upload them as a Template, and share links to your forms with clients, to instantly collect customer information upon completion.

Interested in learning more about how GoFormz can enhance your gym operations? Check out these top three ways to use digital forms at your facility:

New Gym membership forms
New gym membership forms range from a variety of information that is required to be captured upon registration. When a new client requests to sign up for a new gym membership, one of the various forms they are required to complete, is a simple, yet thorough, client information form. By digitizing this procedure, gyms can expedite this process through our Automated Workflow for an increase in data collection, workplace efficiency, and a decrease in sign-up delays. Among the benefits of automating procedures, the ability to drag-and-drop fields into documents transforms your paper forms into impactful easy-to-use digital forms that users are easily able to complete.

Liability waiver form
The liability waiver is crucial for gyms of all kinds to ensure their members are aware of the potential risks associated with gymnasiums. This form protects the gym from any potential liability issues and it's crucial to have this form on file in every client’s folder. Using the electronic Signature and Date fields allows new members to quickly and easily provide their consent to gym facilities. Oftentimes, minors sign up for new gym memberships, creating an opportunity for a parent or legal guardian to be required to sign off on the liability waiver as well. By adding Checkbox fields and using Conditional Logic, the parent or legal guardian signature can become a Required field upon selecting the under 18 checkbox - making the process painless for data collection.

New workout class registration form
There are various methods for achieving health goals. Whether it’s lifting weights in a gym on a regular basis or signing up for a new workout class to follow along with - they all lead to healthy lifestyles. New class registration forms are another method for collecting client information and range from simplistic name and contact information questions to full-flushed forms. When signing up for a new workout class, oftentimes these forms include various data fields to answer such as first and last name, contact information, any health concerns, signatures, and checking off liability consent.

With digital forms, it’s never been easier - new clients can register using Public Forms through any mobile device, phone, or tablet, anywhere on the go. Include simple Text and Number fields to capture client and emergency contact information. Set fields to Required with Conditional Logic to ensure all electronic signatures are captured and Checkbox fields are checked for consent upon completion. Finally, automate form routing through Automated Workflow and instantaneously receive client information in real-time to reduce the chance of overbooking classes or any potential miscommunication.
