What insurance do fitness instructors need?

The insurance you need will depend on the individual risks your business faces, but these are some of the main options:

Public liability insurance for fitness instructors

• Public liability insurance is an important cover for fitness instructors, as it covers you if someone is injured or their property is damaged and your business is held responsible. The insurance can pay any compensation costs and the legal fees, up to the limit of your policy. We offer between £1 million and £10 million of cover

Other business insurance for fitness instructors

• Most businesses that have employees, contractors, casual workers or temporary staff are required by law to take out employers’ liability insurance. This can pay compensation claims made by employees who have been injured or have fallen seriously ill as a result of working for you
• You can choose to add business equipment insurance to your fitness instructor insurance policy too, which can pay for repair or replacement of your fitness equipment if it’s lost, stolen or damaged

The average insurance claim for fitness instructors is £15,917 – could you afford this if the worst happened? (Average claim being £15,917. Based on data from 21 November 2018 - 20 November 2019, for comparison only. Cancellation charges may apply, please refer to our full terms & conditions.)
