Get in touchWhat is personal trainers insurance?
Personal trainers insurance is a specialist policy that protects fitness professionals from the risks of training clients, designing exercise programmes and using gym equipment. It typically includes public liability, professional indemnity and employers liability.
If a client is injured during a session you are supervising, or claims your exercise programme aggravated an existing condition, the right insurance covers the resulting claim and your legal costs.
