PRACTICAL CHECKLIST

Gym shift handover template: use it, adapt it and keep the evidence.

This operational guide is a starting point. Your approved procedures, leases, manufacturer instructions and legal duties remain the source of truth.

Before you close the record

  • Escalate urgent issues immediately; do not wait for handover.
  • Confirm the service status of faulty equipment.
  • Use record references instead of unnecessary personal details.
  • Identify deliveries and visitors the next shift must expect.
  • Assign every outstanding task to a person.
  • Include the next update time and escalation route.
  • Incoming staff confirm they understand the priorities.
  • Store the handover where authorised staff can find it.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Gym shift handover template: questions worth asking.

Can I edit this template?
