Common questions about personal trainer insurance
How do I insure equipment that travels with me?
A standard commercial property policy covers your building and its contents. If you bring exercise equipment or other items to gyms, events, or clients' homes, you'll want to consider inland marine insurance.
Inland marine insurance covers mobile equipment during its use and storage off-site, as well as during transit. You can usually add this coverage to your commercial property policy or business owner's policy as an endorsement.
What are the exclusions for personal trainer insurance?
Personal trainer insurance is designed for the typical risks of the profession. If your work extends to stunts, tumbling, or pool activities, you may require additional coverage.
Some policies may not cover trainers who are younger than 18 or coaches of organized competitive sports teams. Talk to a licensed agent to make sure your insurance covers your business's unique risks.
Can I get insurance coverage for virtual training?
If you offer virtual training, such as materials made available to clients on their own time, you can still get coverage. Check with an agent to make sure it's not excluded from any policies or to add endorsements as needed. Insurance companies offer policies with different coverage terms, which is why it's important to check.
Can I get insurance for training at a gym or multiple gyms?
Yes, it's possible to get fitness insurance regardless of where you train. However, you'll want to check with an agent to make sure your unique risks are included in the terms of your policy.
In some cases, you may need to add a gym as an additional insured on your policy. You may also want to ask the gym you work at if they can add you to their policy as an additional insured.
If you work at multiple gyms, you'll need to make sure you're covered at each place that you train.
