Protection for damage to other people's property and injuries to non-employees

General liability is the most common insurance for a personal trainer. Many gyms and studios require proof of liability insurance before they’ll let you train in their space — but coverage matters even if it’s not required. If a client gets hurt during a session or something goes wrong and you’re blamed, general liability insurance could help cover medical expenses and legal fees.

Injuries to clients at your gym or studio

Legal defense and settlements

Coverage for professional mistakes and claims of negligence

A client claims that your training led to an injury and financial losses. Professional liability insurance (also known as errors and omissions insurance, or E&O) could help you legally defend yourself against these types of accusations. If an athlete claims you failed to provide proper training which negatively affected their career, professional liability could help cover related expenses.

Workers’ Compensation insurance for fitness trainers

Workers’ Compensation insurance for fitness trainers

Coverage for work-related injuries and illness if you have employees

If you employ trainers or staff — even just part-time — workers’ comp insurance is required by law in most states. This type of insurance could help cover medical costs, rehabilitation and lost wages for employees who get injured while working. And if you’re self-employed, you have the option to get workers’ comp coverage for yourself, which could help if you’re injured on the job and unable to train clients.

Medical expenses after a work-related injury
Lost wages during recovery
Employer liability claims (optional add-on)
Commercial Property insurance

Commercial Property insurance

Coverage for the equipment and space you rely on to train

Commercial property insurance could help protect the space you rent or own for business, along with the work equipment you rely on every day. If your gear or training space are damaged by a covered event like a fire or theft, this type of business insurance policy could help cover costs.

  • Whether you work one-on-one or run group sessions

  • Your annual revenue

The best way to know for sure what you’ll pay is to check our prices. In about 10 minutes you’ll see the exact cost of tailored coverage for your business.

How can insurance for a personal trainer help your business?

You might need personal training insurance to:

  • Train at gyms or studios. Most gyms and fitness studios require a certificate of insurance (COI) before you can work with clients in their space.
  • Protect yourself if a client gets hurt. If a client is injured during a session, liability insurance could help cover medical costs and legal fees.
  • Cover claims tied to your coaching or programming. If someone says your workout plan or training advice led to an injury, liability insurance could help you legally defend yourself.
  • Protect the equipment you need for work. If your weights, bands, mats or other gear are stolen or damaged, insurance could help replace them.
  • Hire other trainers or staff. Most states require workers’ comp insurance for small businesses with employees, even if you just hire part-time staff.
  • Drive to the gym or client site. If you regularly drive to sessions, you may need commercial auto insurance.
