Personal Trainer & Fitness Instructor Insurance

What IS PROfessional LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR FITNESS INSTRUCTORS?

What IS PRODUCT LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR FITNESS INSTRUCTORS?

Despite the fact that you worked hard to earn your professional certification, teach clearly, and check your equipment on a regular basis, accidents can still happen. The fact is that there are inherent risks with exercise itself, and this risk only increases when various pieces of equipment are added to the mix. Product liability insurance can provide the peace of mind you need so that you can focus on training your clients instead of worrying about potential lawsuits.

Product liability insurance is the type of insurance coverage that offers a warranty or guarantee on a product. It is specifically created to cover you in the event that a product malfunctions and causes injury or damage to third parties. Depending on how the product was manufactured, designed, and assembled, you could be at risk of a lawsuit.

While fitness training doesn’t always include equipment, when it does, your client’s risk of injury also goes up.  All it takes is a loose spring, a moment of unfocused attention, or an improperly secured safety chain for an injury to occur. Professional liability insurance helps to protect you in this type of situation, so that you do not bear the brunt of the financial expenses associated with a lawsuit.

WHAT IS GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR FITNESS INSTRUCTORS?

There are inherent risks, with all exercise classes and personal training sessions. Fitness Instructor liability insurance protects you, the trainer, from claims and potential lawsuits for a multitude of accidents that could happen during class or training session. Fitness instructor general liability insurance protects you from accidents that may arise, through no fault or error of your own, as the instructor.

For example, if a student slips and falls on some split water during a training session and breaks their leg, you may be liable. If a student pushes themselves too far, into a move they cannot do or overexerts themselves and gets injured or has a medical complication, you may be liable.

While you may work hard to stay current with the health situations of each client, sometimes they are not as forthright with their conditions as you need them to be. For example, you may have a female client who has recently become pregnant, but has chosen not to share that information with you. You might also have a male client who has a heart condition, or other serious health condition that could put him at risk during some of the higher intensity moves he will perform in class. Fitness instructor insurance would protect you from claims arising due to conditions like these. You can see why it is critical for the protection and longevity of your fitness business that you make sure to have insurance coverage.
