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 $189 per year, group fitness insurance pales in comparison to the cost of a claim for injuries or property damages.
Our personal training and group fitness insurance program covers a multitude of exercise programs, along with hundreds of other healing practices. Check out our chart to the right for a sample of some of the fitness programs your policy automatically includes coverage for.

A vital component of our trainer insurance program lies in the built-in portability provision. Portability is a term used in insurance which means that the policy is not tied to a single location or way of providing services. This means you can switch employers, go from renting space to offering in-home training sessions, or you can move clear across the country and your policy will follow you every step of your fitness journey.
We know the best personal trainer liability insurance needs to offer you a benefit above and beyond just great liability insurance. That’s why our program grants you access to hundreds of dollars worth of exclusive offers and discounts from the leading names in health and fitness. We’ve also developed libraries of content geared just towards setting up and maintaining a successful personal trainer business. Mastering topics like utilizing social media and building a personal trainer resume will help your services stand out from the crowd. Bonus alert, you also can use our workout playlists for getting your clients pumped. Resources like how to create a personal training liability waiver and release form can help protect your business. By having clients sign a waiver and release form, you are asking them to acknowledge and accept the potential risks associated with physical activity and release you from any liability that may arise from injuries or damages sustained during the training sessions.
Emphatically, yes. Even if a case is entirely frivolous, legal defense without insurance can be financially devastating. Group fitness instructor insurance from Insure Fitness takes away the anxiety surrounding the what-ifs of a future claim. You’ll be covered from the minute you engage with a client, within the 50 United States. Read more about why fitness instructor insurance is a must.

Insure Fitness has created a policy that takes the risks of fitness professionals into consideration and provides coverage from several angles from which claims can occur during your policy period. Here’s an outline of the coverage:

Yes! As virtual personal training classes continue to increase in popularity, we’ve added online personal trainer insurance coverage for any class conducted via a medium like Skype where live training is being provided. This only wouldn’t apply to any previously recorded fitness instruction such as with a Youtube channel.
Absolutely. Because we want to foster the next generation of trainers, we offer the same coverage options as with our professional policies to students for the low-rate of just $65 for a full year of coverage. Select the student rate here.
Occurrence form coverage is based on the premise that, if a claim is filed after your policy expires, no matter when this occurs, as long as the incident occurs during the period when your policy is active, you’re covered. This comes about from the simple fact that some injuries take months or even years to manifest and some clients choose to wait for a time before seeking restitution. Whatever the reason, even if it’s years after your policy has expired, if that incident occurred while the policy was still active, you’ll have the peace of mind of full coverage. Many carriers provide claims-made coverage that only extends coverage beyond a policy’s expiration if additional measures specifically taken to do so. Otherwise, under a claims-made policy, any claim occurring after a policy’s expiration is generally not covered unless you pay extra for a “tail” that will allow you to do so.
A great value of our plans lies in the fact that none of our liability coverages have a deductible attached. This means, if you need to file a professional liability claim with us, you pay nothing out of pocket to do so. Only our stolen equipment coverage has a low $250 deductible. Read more about the top requirements for personal trainer insurance.
General liability claims arise from third-party injuries or property damage that occurs from broadly accepting clients and providing your service. Generally referred to a “slip and fall”, an example could be a client slipping on the pile of chalk left on the floor after a split-jerk and breaking their hip. 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 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.
