Why do Personal Trainers need Business Insurance?

In the fast-paced, energetic fitness industry, no two days are the same. You deal with a variety of clients, each with their own unique demands and health needs. Your role as a personal trainer is to work with your clients by providing exercise plans and programs to help them achieve their fitness goals.

You may put in all the extra effort and reasonable steps to help your clients achieve their targets, but the reality is, unwanted accidents and incidents can still happen, and usually when you least expect it. As a personal trainer you have a lot of responsibility to look after your clients health and that is why it is important to have the right kinds of insurances in place to protect your personal training business.

These are some of the ways business insurance can help your personal training business stay fighting fit:

  • If you are renting a space for your personal training business, you may be required to have Public Liability insurance in place as part of your rental agreement
  • When you are providing professional advice on all things fitness to your clients, there is an element of responsibility if your advice were to cause a client to suffer an injury (when not covered by the ACC), and claim negligence. This is where Professional Indemnity insurance can help
  • Working within gyms, public spaces and other fitness facilities, it may be a requirement that you have Public Liability insurance in place
  • If you offer mobile personal training services, consider protecting your expensive equipment and sporting aids with Portable Equipment cover*

Don’t sweat the small stuff when it comes to making sure you have the right business insurance in place. Let the energetic team at BizCover do the crunches when it comes to providing a competitive quote to get you covered in no time.

That’s why Professional Indemnity insurance becomes an important cover to consider.
