Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) & Informed Consent
Please complete before your first session. Your answers help us keep you safe.
Please answer every question honestly. If you answer YES to any question, we may ask you to see your GP before starting.
If you answered YES to one or more questions, talk to your doctor before you become much more physically active. Tell your trainer which questions you answered YES to.
Keep this completed form on file securely (GDPR) for as long as your insurer recommends.

What is a PAR-Q form?
A PAR-Q — Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire — is a short health-screening form a client completes before starting exercise. It asks a handful of yes/no questions about heart conditions, chest pain, dizziness, joint problems, medication and pregnancy. Its job is simple: flag anyone who should check with their GP before they become more active, so you can train them safely. Pairing it with an informed-consent declaration turns it into the single sheet most trainers and gyms ask every new client to sign.
Do personal trainers legally need a PAR-Q / consent form?
There is no single UK statute that says "thou shalt use a PAR-Q", but in practice it is non-negotiable. Your public liability and professional indemnity insurance will almost certainly require documented pre-exercise screening and informed consent for every client, and your certifying body (CIMSPA, REPs and similar) expects it as standard duty of care. Skip it and a claim could be refused. Treat a signed PAR-Q and consent form as the paperwork that protects both your client and your business.
What should a PAR-Q include?
The classic screen covers seven areas: a diagnosed heart condition, chest pain during activity, dizziness or fainting, bone or joint problems, blood-pressure or heart medication, pregnancy or recent birth, and any other reason a doctor has advised against exercise. Add space for the client's name, date of birth and an emergency contact, an informed-consent declaration they sign, and signature and date lines for both client and trainer. This tool builds all of that, plus an editable area for your own extra questions.
Does this tool store my details?
No. Everything you type is used only to build the form on screen in your own browser — nothing is uploaded, saved or sent to us. When you choose to download the printable take-away sheet, you provide your own contact details so we can email it and reply. The client's health answers are filled in on paper after you print, and never touch our servers. This is a convenience template, not medical or legal advice; anyone flagging a health risk should see their GP before exercising.
Please note: this tool gives a guide or estimate only. It may not be 100% accurate and is not professional advice — always check the figures before you rely on them. Any document this tool produces is a template for convenience, not legal advice. You are responsible for making sure anything you issue meets your own legal obligations; seek professional advice for your situation. A PAR-Q is a screening aid, not a medical clearance or a legal shield — a client answering 'No' to every question doesn't guarantee they're safe to train, and a signed form doesn't remove your duty to supervise sessions responsibly and stop if something looks wrong. This is a convenience template, not medical or legal advice. If a client flags any health risk on the questionnaire, advise them to see their GP before exercising. Details you type here stay in your browser and are never uploaded to us.
