Free Personal Trainer Service Agreement

One client snapping an ACL on your watch without a signed waiver is a fast track to losing your house and your gym. If they charge back a three-month package after you've already put in the hours, you’re just a volunteer with a whistle.

Pro Contractor Tip

Include an 'Assumption of Risk' clause so the client legally acknowledges they're the ones choosing to lift the heavy iron, not you.

Why use a written agreement?

Handshake deals are risky. As a Personal Trainer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do when a client disappears for two weeks then wants their money back?

Stick to a 'Use It or Lose It' expiration clause in your contract so your schedule stays profitable and your bank account stays full regardless of their laziness.

How do I handle a client who keeps asking for 'just one more' exercise after the hour is up?

Treat your session end-time like a hard deadline; having it written in the agreement lets you point to the paper and move to your next paying gig without feeling like the bad guy.

The client says they didn't get 'shredded' and wants a refund on their sessions.

Your contract must state you’re being paid for professional time and expertise, not a specific body fat percentage, to prevent them from blaming their bad diet on your wallet.
