How many clients are needed before a gym can be insured?
Learn if there's a minimum number of clients you need before you can get insurance for your gym and what protection you can get.

Starting a gym may require significant investments in equipment and facilities. Business insurance is important to safeguard those investments. Understanding gym insurance, also known as fitness insurance, includes knowing how many clients you need before you can insure your business.
The answer to that is simple: You should consider insurance from day one, even if you only have one client. Accidents and unforeseeable incidents can happen at any time. Without insurance, you could be responsible for paying for damages entirely out of pocket after an accident or lawsuit.
Why is Fitness insurance important?
- It can provide financial protection in the face of unfortunate accidents or injuries.
- It can protect the business in case anything happens to the business property, including the gym equipment and other physical property.
- Most states have a law that requires businesses to have workers' compensation insurance when they have employees.
One example of how gym insurance can help is in the case of a slip and fall accident in the gym. Without insurance, you could risk paying out-of-pocket for medical expenses. With gym insurance in place to help protect you against setbacks like this, you can focus on providing the best possible service for your clients.
