Yoga Instructor Liability Insurance Policy Details

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?

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.

Yoga Group Fitness Instructor Insurance FAQs

Yes. Even if you’re the most experienced professional, accidents can happen at any moment. Especially in a group situation where you cannot be watching everyone in your class at once. 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.

Yes! As virtual personal training classes continue to increase in popularity, we’ve added online trainer coverage for any class conducted online, live or pre-recorded, as long as it’s recorded in the US by a US-based professional.

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.

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.

Yes and yes! We’ve partnered with some of the leading names in the world of fitness to bring our members killer benefits, exclusives, discounts, and early access to a wide variety of different products and services. We’ve also developed vast, members-only  libraries of curated content that provides insider tips on everything from running a successful business to motivating a client through a challenging Monday session.

We offer monthly payments through PayPal’s Pay Monthly credit program. While we understand the convenience of monthly payment options, we’d still recommend the traditional option of paying in full upfront to avoid any credit checks.

Yes, you are covered for both. Our policy follows you anywhere you practice, whether it’s at a client’s home or in a traditional office setting.
