Coaching Application Form Template
A bold black-and-yellow application for a personal training studio: name and email, the applicant’s goals, how ready they are to commit on a scale of 1 to 10, their experience, how often they want to train and any injuries.

What a coaching application form is for
A coaching application form lets a coach choose clients instead of taking whoever books first. It asks what the person wants, how committed they are and anything that limits what they can do, so the first call is about a plan rather than basic questions.
This template was written for a personal training studio, but the shape fits any coach. Goals are checkboxes, commitment is a 1 to 10 linear scale from “Curious” to “All in”, and experience and sessions per week are one-tap choices. The injuries question is open, so the coach hears it in the applicant’s own words. The whole application fits on one screen.
Who uses it
- Personal trainers and strength coaches with limited client spots.
- Business, life and career coaches who run an application before a sales call.
- Nutrition and wellness coaches screening clients for a programme.
- Online coaches selling a high-ticket group or one-to-one package.

How to customise it
A template is a starting point: every word, question and colour stays editable.
Rewrite it for your coaching
Change the goals and the experience options to your niche, for example revenue stage for business coaching, and keep the 1 to 10 commitment scale.
Score the applications
Turn on Quiz mode and give points to the answers that fit your ideal client; each response then gets a score you can sort by.
Book the discovery call
Add a “Book a time” block that sends applicants to your Vonza booking page, or show it only to applicants who rate their commitment highly.
Make it a conversation
Turn on “One question at a time” with a welcome screen, so the application feels like a chat on a phone.
