Personal Training Client Agreement

About this document

What it’s for

Personal trainers – employed or self-employed – need a written agreement with each client. It sets out what the client is buying, how sessions are booked and cancelled, what happens to unused sessions, and the limits of the trainer’s role. It protects the trainer’s income and helps prevent disputes and claims.

When to use it

  • For every new personal training client, in person or online
  • When selling session packages or monthly coaching plans
  • When a client returns after a long break or a change in health
