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.

How to Become a Personal Trainer in Colorado
The Centennial State’s fitness industry is growing fast—great news for personal trainers and others looking to turn a passion for fitness into a career. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Colorado ranks among the top 10 states for employment of fitness trainers and instructors.
While Colorado doesn’t mandate a state license for personal trainers or fitness instructors, earning a recognized certification is still the smart move. Employers prefer certified professionals, clients trust documented credentials, and formal training helps reduce risk because you’re prepared to coach safely.
If you’re ready to take the next step, here are the baseline standards most certifying organizations expect before you can sit for the exam:
Age: At least 18 years old.
Education: High school diploma or GED.
Safety Training: Current CPR/AED certification (typically with a hands-on component).
Meeting these minimums positions you to pursue a nationally recognized certification and start building experience in Colorado gyms, studios, or private practice.
The Best Personal Trainer Certifications In Colorado
Colorado doesn't require a specific license to become a trainer, but earning your certification from a trusted provider demonstrates your knowledge to potential clients and employers.
Insure Fitness Group recommends top certifying bodies like ASFA (American Sports and Fitness Association, NETA (National Exercise Trainers Association), and NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine).
Gain Real-Life Experience
While earning your certification is important, you can't beat real-world experience. Practical knowledge helps you stand out from the rest and bring in new clients. We recommend job shadowing, internships, or even starting out as a part-time instructor.
Local gyms are a great way to get your foot in the door, providing valuable experience to kickstart your fitness career.
Develop Your Fitness Business
Once you're off the ground with a certification and experience, you'll need to think about what's next.
First, you'll want to find your training niche. Colorado is a large state with a diverse fitness-minded population. What's popular in your county? Do you prefer training one-on-one or group fitness?
From there, learn how to market yourself as a personal trainer. Even a basic website goes a long way to build your reputation. Social media is perfect for showing off your training services and client results.
