What is Personal Trainer Insurance?

Personal trainer insurance will cover you should you be sued by a third party, such as a client, for injury to them or damage to their property.

This includes cover for damage to property that is hired or rented to you for the purpose of your business activities.

In the event of your business being blamed for an incident outlined above, your Public Liability will provide cover for the legal costs associated with defending you in court plus any damages that are deemed payable.

In the case of Protectivity’s policy, it also covers if you are alleged to have provided inadequate advice or tuition by including Professional Indemnity as standard.

Why do Personal Trainers need insurance?

Given the nature of the profession, there is a possibility that at some point in a personal trainer’s career, a client may get injured as a result of their tuition. 

Should the client believe you are guilty of providing negligent advice or tuition which led to the injury, they may choose to take legal action against you. A comprehensive personal trainer insurance policy will cover the legal costs associated with defending yourself and pay any damages that are awarded. 

For this reason alone it is important to make sure you have personal trainer insurance with public liability in place.

A. Our PT insurance policies all include the following as standard, which provides comprehensive cover to personal trainers.

  • Personal trainer liability insurance – Either £1m, £2m, £5m or £10m
    Liability insurance for personal trainers covers them for claims, damages and injury to members of the public or their property. This could come about if you or one of your clients causes damage to the gym in which your sessions are held.
  • Professional Indemnity cover – level matched to that of your Public Liability
    Should one of your clients injure themselves and deem it to be because of your negligence, then Professional Indemnity protects you. Any claim could be the result of a client claiming you gave bad advice or set them a task which in turn, caused them an injury.
  • Sports Equipment cover – £500 as standard for FREE (up to £30,000 available)
    The tools of the trade which you use are protected by our policy too. Up to £250 of cover is included as standard, which ensures any damage to your equipment caused by a client or third-party is covered.
  • Personal Accident cover (not included as standard – optional extra)
    This part of the policy protects the personal trainer themselves. Depending on the specific injury, your policy could pay out if you were to injure yourself while taking a personal training session.
