Frequently asked questions
What is a PAR Q form?
PAR Q stands for physical activity readiness questionnaire. It's a short set of yes or no health questions that trainers and gyms ask before someone starts a new exercise program.
What happens if a client answers yes?
A yes means the client should talk to their doctor before training. Use the details box to see what they flagged, and wait for medical clearance before the first session.
Can clients fill out the PAR Q on their phone?
Yes. Send the link before the first session or show a QR code at the front desk. Each client signs, and you keep a signed PDF with their answers.
