- Short answer (30 characters max): For quick questions without the need for too much detail, e.g. years of experience training.
- Paragraph (255 characters max): For more specific information which might require an explanation, e.g. Health conditions your coaches might need to know before a session.
- Checkbox (500 characters max): For even more detailed answers which may require clients to review policy information at your business.
