Policy Limits

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.

Barre Instructor Liability Insurance

Do I Need Barre Fitness Liability Insurance?

Yes, you absolutely need Barre Group Fitness instructor insurance. As a Barre instructor, you face real risks every time you teach, from slips, trips, and falls to overexertion-related injuries like muscle tears or even more serious incidents such as back injuries or nerve damage. These risks are heightened in group fitness settings where it’s impossible to monitor everyone at once.

Liability insurance is crucial for protecting your business and your career against lawsuits or claims arising from accidents, malpractice, or negligence. At Insure Fitness Group, we provide comprehensive policies that cover both general liability (like slips and falls) and professional liability (like injuries caused by improper guidance), ensuring you’re financially and legally safeguarded. Additionally, staying certified in the techniques you teach and having clients sign liability waivers can further minimize risks.

Your passion for fitness deserves protection, and with our policy, you can expect great coverage. With Barre Group Fitness Insurance, you can train with confidence and peace of mind, knowing you’re covered no matter what happens.

What Kind of Incidents Does Our Liability Insurance Cover?

Slips & Falls

Barre classes often involve floor-based work, ballet bars, and close body movement — which means slips, trips, and falls are more common than many realize. Whether a client slips on a sweat puddle during leg lifts or trips on a resistance band, you could be held financially liable. Our insurance protects you from the costs associated with these types of accidents.

Injuries From Overexertion or Form Misalignment

Barre workouts emphasize precision, posture, and repetition. But even minor form errors or pushing clients too hard during plies or pulses can result in injuries like pulled muscles, back strain, or joint issues. Our professional liability insurance covers claims related to injuries sustained during instruction.

Virtual Barre Classes

If you’re leading live-streamed or recorded barre sessions online, you’re still responsible for clients following along at home. A client might injure themselves trying to mimic a difficult move or using improper equipment. Our policy covers online barre sessions conducted by certified U.S.-based instructors.

Barre Equipment Incidents

Though barre is a low-impact workout, it does use portable equipment like balance balls, resistance bands, small hand weights, and even foldable barres. If a barre tips over mid-class or a resistance band snaps and injures a client, our coverage ensures you’re protected from the legal and financial aftermath.

General liability claims typically arise from accidents that happen in your studio space — not necessarily because of your instruction, but due to the environment. In barre classes, common examples include:

  • A client slipping on a sweat puddle or polished hardwood floor during plié work.
  • Someone tripping over a resistance band or yoga mat while entering or leaving class.
  • A barre or mirror becoming unstable, causing a minor injury near a studio fixture.

These incidents may not be due to your guidance, but you could still be held liable — and our policy is designed to cover these kinds of everyday risks.

Professional liability covers you when a client claims your instruction or guidance caused them harm. In a barre setting, this can include:

  • A client alleging they developed knee or hip pain due to excessive repetitions or improper form during a thigh or glute series.
  • A student claiming you encouraged overextension during a stretch or balance movement, resulting in a muscle pull or joint strain.
  • A participant following your online barre class injuring themselves because they didn’t have the right equipment or weren’t warned properly.

These kinds of claims, even if unfounded, can be financially damaging. That’s where your liability insurance coverage steps in — to protect your career and finances.
