Why do I need to consider insurance as a personal trainer?

Whether you’re online or in the gym, fitness professionals have a duty of care to their clients – and any third parties. Reasonable steps need to be put in place for their safety and wellbeing. But even when these measures are taken, claims of negligence can still happen.

Having insurance that covers your unique risks can help provide security for your business – and peace of mind for you.

Frequently asked questions

Prices for standard cover for the fitness professional insurance policy depend on the liability limit you select.

If you select any additional activities on the application page, your premium may increase. Some activities, such as online operations, will not increase the premium.

You will notice that the premium will update each time an additional activity is chosen. But other activities will have additional premiums applied as per the insurer’s instructions – depending on the activities’ increased risk.
