Insure Fitness Group stands out from other insurance providers because we offer not only one of the most affordable options, but also provide occurrence form coverage. This is a type of coverage that covers claims related to incidents that happened during your policy period, even if your policy has expired.
Wouldn’t knowing that you’re protected—even if you no longer have an active policy with us—provide you with the ultimate peace of mind?
There are two primary types of liability insurance: professional and general liability insurance. They are both necessary for every fitness professional.
General liability insurance: Commonly known as a "slip and fall" insurance policy, general liability insurance covers injuries that occur on your premises that are not directly related to your professional services. For instance, if a client trips and breaks their ankle on an uneven surface in your gym, this type of insurance would protect you from the resulting claims.
Professional liability insurance: Also known as malpractice insurance, professional liability insurance protects you against claims arising from actual or alleged professional negligence. For example, if a client drops a barbell and injures themselves during a workout under your supervision, this coverage would protect you.
These coverages protect professionals from liability for non-physical injuries or damages resulting from actions like defamation, false arrest, invasion of privacy, and copyright/trademark infringement in advertising and marketing. This is an additional coverage type that is included in an IFG policy.
Identity theft is an increasing threat. Identity Theft Protection assists in covering the expenses related to recovering your identity should it be compromised, ensuring your personal and professional identities are secure. This is an additional coverage type that is included in an IFG policy.

Fitness professionals need to have professional and general liability insurance. These insurance coverages protect professionals against claims related to malpractice, negligence, and common slip-and-falls.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there are approximately 460,000 reported fitness injuries a year. The most common injuries that lead to lawsuits against fitness professionals include fractures, back injuries, nerve damage, muscle tears, and even heart attacks or strokes due to overexertion. Risks also grow especially in a group fitness situation where you can’t physically be watching everyone at once.
Liability insurance is crucial to protecting yourself and your career, safeguarding you from the financial and legal risks of potential lawsuits. To further minimize risks, ensure you’re certified in the techniques you teach and have all clients sign a liability waiver before starting their training.
Slip and fall accidents are more common than you’d think in the fitness industry – whether it’s a wet floor or just an accidental trip over equipment, clients can be hurt under your watch and you could be held liable.
Clients come to you to be pushed and motivated, but overdoing it can cause muscle strains or other injuries. Our insurance covers claims related to injuries caused during sessions, so let us take that burden so you can focus on helping your clients meet their goals.
Even if you’re not physically with your client, you could still be held liable for accidents that happen from your online training sessions either live-streamed or pre-recorded.
Exercise equipment can and will break down, posing an injury risk to your clients. This also includes situations like if a client fell off the stationary bike during a spin class and hurts themselves.
Receive instant coverage and proof of insurance certificate via email immediately upon checkout, which takes less than 5 minutes.

General liability claims include general accidents that occur during your training or on your premises like simple “slip and fall” accidents. An example could be a client slipping on the pile of chalk left on the floor after a split-jerk and breaking their hip, or tipping over a dumbbell on the floor. Their medical expenses would fall under your personal trainer general liability insurance provisions. Another example might be where a client is walking out of their appointment and misses a stair on their way causing them to fall and get injured that way. Read more about personal trainer insurance coverage to consider this year.
Professional liability coverage is also called “malpractice insurance” as it relates specifically to a claim against the professional service you provided during a session. For example, a student may assert that your spin class was too arduous and led to a torn quadricep or another may say that you pushed them too far down into a front-squat and they hurt their back as a result. With cases like these, Insure Fitness members have peace of mind through a comprehensive professional liability insurance coverage. Read more about the do’s and don’ts of liability insurance.
