Are you covered in the event of an accident or injury? 

Group fitness classes afford instructors a great opportunity to multiply their revenue with clients paying individually for one, focused session. However, even the most skilled trainers, experienced in providing group fitness classes can still have an event occur that is completely outside the realm of control. 

Because fitness involves exerting increased effort, using equipment like free weights and machines, and simply being around others doing the same, the risks of injuries or damage are unfortunately quite high. Each year, there are tens of thousands of fitness-related injuries in the U.S. This risk is mitigated, or planned for, with fitness instructor liability insurance. 

Our plans cover many different accidents and mishaps that are unfortunately common at some point in a career in fitness. Rather than having to pay these costs out of pocket, your comprehensive group fitness instructor insurance provides a safety net for your personal finances. 

From a simple slip and fall injuries to an accusation with an accompanying lawsuit for malpractice, an all-inclusive sports and fitness insurance policy from IFG has you covered with high coverage limits and quick and helpful claims teams. At just $179 per year, group fitness insurance pales in comparison to the cost of a claim for injuries or property damages.
