What is Liability Insurance for Personal Trainers?

As a fitness business owner, you face many risks. For example, you have a responsibility to meet certain standards and adhere to best practices for your industry. If a client feels that you provided bad advice or instruction, they could claim that you didn’t meet those standards and sue you. Professional liability insurance for personal trainers (also called errors and omission, or E&O insurance) protects you in the event that a client accuses your business of making a mistake (an error) or failing to do something (an omission)—even if that claim proves to be baseless. 

What is Workers’ Compensation Insurance for Personal Trainers?

If you employ other personal trainers, you need protection for them in case they’re injured or become ill on the job. Workers’ compensation insurance (sometimes called workman’s comp) serves that purpose and is mandatory for most employers. And then there are other risks, like the possibility of damaging a client’s property when you’re helping them work out in their home or a competitor’s claim that you committed slander, libel, or copyright infringement, such as in your advertisements or marketing materials. A general liability policy can cover these and other issues.

More on Professional Liability Insurance for Personal Trainers

Professional liability insurance from biBERK helps protect your business if you make a mistake (error) or fail to perform a service (omission). Professional indemnity insurance, another name for professional liability or E&O insurance, can also cover related defense costs, even those associated with groundless claims. Claims can include the following scenarios:

Unfulfilled Duties

This happens when you’re expected to take certain actions but fail to do so. For instance, you’re supposed to provide a client with a customized fitness plan but you do not.

Negligence

arrow_forward_ios

arrow_forward

Negligence is the failure to use proper care in performing a task. An example would be that you make a mistake in helping a professional athlete client with an exercise and they suffer a torn ligament.

Errors

In this case, you’re being held responsible for a mistake you made that caused your client a financial loss, such as recommending the wrong exercise, which results in a debilitating injury.

In each instance, professional liability (E&O) insurance covers the costs for legal defense and damages. Plus, biBERK provides an attorney to represent you. biBERK can also cover client damages—including punitive damages, if permitted by law in your state.  Punitive damages can be quite high, as they are assessed by courts on top of other damages. This is an effort to punish those allegedly at fault even further. If your state allows these damages to be covered by an insurance policy, biBERK covers up to the policy limit.

What Does Fitness Instructor Insurance Cost?

Your fitness instructor insurance cost is calculated based on a number of factors. These include your location, business size, and claims history. You can get fast, free, self-service quotes online for the policies you need to determine your specific fitness instructor insurance cost.

Am I Required to Have Personal Trainer Experience?

Although not always required by law, it’s a good idea to carry personal trainer insurance so that you have financial protection if the unexpected occurs.

 

What Professions Need Personal Trainer Insurance?

Professions that may benefit from this type of insurance include fitness instructors, personal coaches, and private trainers. Between 33% and 50% of small businesses are engaged in lawsuits in any given year, and the cost can easily add up to $10,000 or more. If you get hit with a lawsuit, you’ll be glad you’re covered.
