Membership Application and Health Declaration Form

About this document

What it’s for

Before someone starts exercising at your gym you need their contact and emergency details, a short pre-exercise health screen to spot anyone who should take medical advice first, and their agreement to your terms and rules. This form collects all of that in one place, and records the steps staff take afterwards.

When to use it

  • For every new member, including those joining online (use it as the basis for your online form)
  • When a member returns after a long break, injury, surgery or pregnancy
  • For guests and day-pass users (the short version in Part 5)

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Part 1 – Your details
  • Part 2 – Emergency contact
  • Part 3 – Pre-exercise health questionnaire
  • Part 4 – Consents and declaration
  • Part 5 – Guest or day pass (short form)
  • Part 6 – Staff use only

How to complete it

  • The member completes Parts 1 to 4 and signs the declaration
  • Staff check ID, review the health answers and complete Part 6
  • If any health answer is “yes”, follow the guidance in Part 3 before the member starts

Key points to check

  • Health information is special category data under UK GDPR – store the form securely and limit access
  • Review health declarations at least every 12 months

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
