Mindbody client forms collect information beyond the base liability waiver — health history, consent, cancellation acknowledgments, event waivers, and custom questions. If you have ever searched Mindbody’s help center for “client forms,” this is the operator guide.
We cover how to set up Mindbody client forms from scratch, attach signatures, send forms to members, and connect forms to your growth funnel.

Client forms vs liability waiver in Mindbody
| Tool | Best for |
|---|---|
| Liability Waiver (single policy screen) | Studio-wide assumption of risk |
| Client Forms (builder) | Multiple policies, questions, signatures, event-specific intake |
Most studios use both: a base waiver plus supplemental forms for memberships, workshops, or med spa consent.
Step 1: Open the client forms builder
- Sign in to Mindbody Business Mode
- Navigate to Settings → Client Forms and Liability Waiver
- Select Client Forms
- Click New Form or duplicate an existing template
Mindbody documents this area for creating forms with policies, custom questions, and optional e-signatures.
Step 2: Name and structure your form
Use clear naming so staff know which form to send:
| Form name example | Use case |
|---|---|
| New Member Intake 2026 | General first-visit questions |
| Workshop Liability Addendum | One-off events |
| Med Spa Treatment Consent | Service-specific acknowledgment |
| Minor / Guardian Consent | Youth programs |
Add blocks in logical order:
- Instructions (optional text)
- Policy sections with required acknowledgements
- Custom questions (short answer, multiple choice)
- Signature blocks for contract sections
Step 3: Configure acknowledgements and signatures
For each policy block:
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Require acknowledgement | Member must check a box to proceed |
| Require client signature | Legally stronger; requires resend to update existing clients |
| Required vs optional question | Skip logic varies — test on mobile |
Tip: Split long policies into multiple acknowledged sections instead of one wall of text.
Step 4: Send forms to clients
Mindbody lets staff and automated flows distribute forms:
| Method | How |
|---|---|
| At booking | Attach form requirement to service or first visit |
| After booking a service | Link a form to a class or appointment — Mindbody sends it when the client books (post-booking guide →) |
| From client profile | Staff sends form link to email on file |
| Consumer site / app | Member completes during account setup |
| Messenger AI | Package-dependent signing flows |
After submission, view completed forms on the client profile → Forms / Documents.
Step 5: Maintain and version forms
When policies change:
- Duplicate the form with a new version in the title (“Intake v2026-09”)
- Enable signature if required on new clauses
- Resend to active members who must re-acknowledge
- Archive old versions in your internal SOP — do not delete historical records
Track which form version a member signed for insurance and dispute resolution.
Form types studios commonly build in Mindbody
| Form | Key fields |
|---|---|
| General intake | Emergency contact, referral source, injury disclosure |
| Membership | Billing T&C, package acknowledgment (membership guide →) |
| Terms & conditions | Cancellation, conduct, privacy (T&C guide →) |
| Event / retreat | Travel liability, photo release, dietary restrictions |
| COVID / health screening | Symptom attestation (if still required by policy) |
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Client sees checkbox but you required signature | Resend form after enabling signature |
| Form completed off-platform | Manual upload to client Documents |
| Character limit on waiver field | Move overflow text into client form policies |
| Member cannot find form | Send direct link from profile; check spam folder |
| Wrong form attached to service | Review service setup and first-visit rules |
