Health & energy
Sleep, movement, food, recovery — the base everything else rests on.
Free template · English
A Wheel of Life template you can use today.
Print it for the session, or let clients fill it in digitally between calls so the second round lands next to the first. Eight areas, a 1–10 scale, and the questions that turn a drawing into a conversation.
Free, no sign-up for the PDF. The digital version keeps every round so you see the trend.
The eight areas
Career & work
Direction, challenge and recognition, not only the job title.
Finances
Control and margin, rather than the size of the number.
Relationships
Partner, family, the people who know the unedited version.
Personal growth
Learning, curiosity, the sense of still becoming someone.
Fun & recreation
Time that is not productive and is not supposed to be.
Physical environment
Home, workplace, the places the client spends their days.
Meaning & contribution
Whether the effort adds up to something the client values.
Rename any area that does not fit your client. A founder may need "team", a parent of a newborn may need "sleep" as its own slice. The template is a starting point, not a form.
How to fill it out, step by step
- 1
Score each area 1–10
Gut feeling, not analysis. 1 is 'this needs attention today', 10 is 'this is working'.
- 2
Draw the wheel
Fill each slice up to its score. The shape matters more than any single number.
- 3
Pick one area
Not the lowest — the one where a change would lift the others too.
- 4
Name one move
One action inside the next seven days, small enough that it will actually happen.
- 5
Repeat in 4–6 weeks
The second wheel is where coaching value appears: the trend, not the snapshot.
Printable PDF or digital wheel?
- Paper is better in the room — it slows the client down and the drawing is theirs.
- Digital is better between sessions — the client fills it in when the week is honest, not when you are watching.
- Only digital gives you the overlay: round three next to round one, on one chart.
- In Coach Club you get both: assign the wheel, get an AI brief on what changed before the next call.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Wheel of Life template free?
Yes. The printable PDF template on this page is free to download and use with your clients, with no sign-up. The digital version — where clients fill it in between sessions and you see the trend across rounds — is part of Coach Club's 14-day free trial.
How do I fill out a wheel of life template?
Score each of the eight areas from 1 to 10 on gut feeling, shade each slice up to its score, then look at the shape of the wheel rather than any single number. Choose one area where a change would also lift the others, and commit to one action within seven days.
What are the 8 areas of the wheel of life?
The common set is health and energy, career and work, finances, relationships, personal growth, fun and recreation, physical environment, and meaning and contribution. The labels are not sacred — rename them with the client when their life does not fit the defaults.
Can I make a wheel of life template in Excel or Canva?
You can — a radar chart in Excel or Google Sheets works. The limitation is history: unless you save each round and overlay them, you lose the comparison that makes the exercise useful the second time. That is what the digital version handles for you.
How often should a client redo the wheel?
Every four to six weeks. More often and it turns into reporting; less often and you miss early signals such as sliding energy or a quietly abandoned priority.
