Compare Your Options & Choose the Right Liability Insurance for Personal Trainers & Fitness Instructors
Talk to a licensed insurance agentPersonal trainers should have general liability insurance and professional liability insurance to protect against client injuries, legal claims, and property damage. Your general liability policy should include a "medical payments" or "customer injuries" limit (usually $10,000-$15,000) that can be used for small injuries, regardless of who is at fault. You typically don't need a separate accident coverage policy.
Yes! Some providers, like Gym Insurance+, offer personal trainer insurance without certification, allowing you to get coverage even if you’re new to the industry or still working on your certification. However, some insurers may require certification from ISSA, NASM, ACE, AFAA, YA, or CrossFit for full liability protection.
