Q10
AI Interview

Anchor on the respondent's most recent class and their renewal likelihood answer. If they rated satisfaction or recommendation likelihood low, probe specifically what went wrong that day (instructor, crowding, scheduling, results) and what would need to change for them to feel differently. If they rated high, find out what single element they'd be most upset to lose. If they indicated they're unlikely to renew, ask directly what would need to happen in the next 30 days to change their mind.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! Your responses go straight to our team to improve class quality, scheduling, and pricing — no individual answers are shared outside our operations review.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Goes beyond static ratings with an AI follow-up interview that digs into the real story behind a member's satisfaction and renewal likelihood, anchored to their most recent class experience.
  • Combines quantitative diagnostics (instructor, energy, scheduling, value ratings via a matrix question, satisfaction rating, and recommend likelihood) with pricing sensitivity through a Van Westendorp module and trade-off prioritization via MaxDiff.
  • Directly targets churn risk with a dedicated renewal-likelihood question that feeds the AI interview, rather than treating retention as an afterthought.
  • Transparent, conversational flow with chat messages framing the survey and optional demographic questions at the end, plus automated scoring and an auto-generated report for gym/studio operators.

Jotform

Fitness Class Evaluation Form Template

A static, fielding-ready evaluation form for gathering feedback on individual fitness classes. It's built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder, so it's easy to customize but limited to fixed question sets. No mechanism for probing deeper into why a member is satisfied or at risk of leaving.

What it does well

  • Quick to deploy and customize via Jotform's form builder
  • Familiar form format for members to complete
  • Likely supports embedding on websites or kiosks for post-class feedback

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive follow-up questioning — every respondent sees the same fixed fields
  • No built-in per-response quality scoring or automated retention analysis
  • No pricing-sensitivity or trade-off prioritization question types for membership decisions

QuestionPro

Fitness Class Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire Template

This is presented as a sample questionnaire and question bank rather than a single polished, ready-to-field survey — useful as a reference for question wording and structure. It covers general fitness class topics but reads more like a guide than a purpose-built retention instrument.

What it does well

  • Broad library of sample fitness-class questions to draw from
  • Backed by QuestionPro's established survey platform features (logic, distribution, reporting)
  • Useful starting point for teams writing their own questionnaire

Where it falls short

  • Sample question list, not a cohesive turnkey survey flow purpose-built for churn/retention
  • No adaptive AI interviewing to follow up on open-ended answers
  • No transparent, publishable prompt methodology for any AI-assisted components

Typeform

Free Class Feedback Form Template

A general class feedback form with Typeform's conversational, one-question-at-a-time UI, which makes for a pleasant static survey-taking experience. It's aimed at classes broadly (not fitness-specific retention) and stops at collecting ratings/opinions rather than probing the 'why' behind them.

What it does well

  • Polished, conversational UI known for high completion rates
  • Free to use and quick to launch
  • Flexible enough to adapt for various class types, not just fitness

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI follow-up to explore renewal drivers or dissatisfaction in depth
  • No membership pricing-sensitivity (Van Westendorp) or feature trade-off (MaxDiff) question types
  • No automated quality scoring or auto-generated retention-focused reporting
