What does personal trainer insurance cover?
Personal trainer insurance covers you if a client or member of the public is injured or their property is damaged as a result of your training sessions. It helps pay for legal fees and compensation claims, protecting you from potentially costly disputes.
It will also cover professional indemnity claims, which covers you if a client claims that your advice, instruction, or training plan caused them injury, loss, or harm. It helps cover legal costs and any compensation arising from these claims.
Make sure you have the correct insurance for your activities and be sure to check if any exclusions are relevant to what you have planned in policy documentation.
