Session tracking

Free personal training session sign-off sheet

By PacksLeft · Reviewed

A session sign-off sheet records a visit while both trainer and client are there to check it. Download the blank PDF for a clipboard, or use the CSV to build your own record in Excel or Google Sheets. Both files are free, with no signup.

The sheet has ten entry rows, space for the pack's starting balance, and separate columns for credits used and sessions left. Start a fresh sheet for each pack. If you sell a larger pack, number the continuation sheets and carry the balance forward.

The PDF fits on one US Letter page. It includes client and trainer fields, a pack reference, purchase and expiry dates, ten session rows, and a correction note area. Print at actual size on Letter paper or choose fit to page for A4.

Prefer an editable sheet?

Open the CSV in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers and save a working copy before adding client information. It is a blank attendance log, not the PacksLeft client-import template. The remaining balance is entered manually; the CSV does not contain formulas.

Fill in the pack details first

Write the client's name or agreed identifier, the trainer, the pack reference, and the number of sessions available when this sheet starts. If the pack has an agreed expiry date, copy it accurately. Keep the original purchase record with the sheet.

For a new 10-pack, starting sessions is 10. For a continuation sheet after six sessions have been used, starting sessions is 4. Label that continuation clearly so nobody mistakes it for a second purchase.

Record the visit before the client leaves

Add the visit date and entry type, then enter the number of credits deducted. Calculate the new balance from the previous balance. Let the client read the entry before adding their initials or signature.

For an attended session, a 10-session starting balance becomes 9 after one credit is used. If you make a mistaken entry, leave a readable correction note instead of erasing the history. A late-cancel deduction should be identified as such; never write a client's initials on their behalf.

Keep money in a separate record

An initial beside a session is an acknowledgement of the entry. It is not a payment receipt, a waiver, or a new cancellation agreement. Record the pack price and each payment separately so a session balance cannot be mistaken for an amount owed.

This also matters for split payments. Someone may have seven sessions left and still owe half the pack price. Neither the signature nor the remaining count tells you whether that payment arrived.

See the partial-payment example

Store and share the right copy

Keep one sheet per client. Store the clipboard where other clients cannot browse it, and back up completed sheets in a private folder. When sharing a photo, check that the background does not contain anyone else's information.

At renewal, retain the completed sheet and start the next pack with a new reference. If a client asks about a count later, the dated sequence is more useful than a single total overwritten each week.

When a shared balance is easier

Paper works while both people can check the record during the session. If clients regularly ask for their balance between visits, a private online record can save you from finding and photographing the sheet. PacksLeft offers a browser link for the count; it is not an electronic-signature product.
