What Does Personal Trainer Liability Insurance Protect You From?

NACAMS offers protection for everything from cardio and aerobics, to barre and aquatics, and everything in between. Over 500 modalities in the fitness & wellness space are covered with the professional policy.

Because personal training demands a good deal of movement & instruction, there can be any number of accidents that might occur during a training session or involving training equipment. Whether it is a client dropping a heavy weight on their foot, over extending their abilities, or pulling a muscle, it is vital that you are covered when an accident occurs with professional liability insurance for personal trainers. 

Personal Trainer Insurance

Coverage Examples:

Malpractice and Negligence Claims

According to Smiley & Smiley, LLP, one of their clients sued a personal trainer for negligently recommending an unsafe exercise. The parties eventually settled for $300,000.

 

Slip & Fall Accidents

In many gym environments, there's a risk of clients slipping, tripping, or falling, potentially leading to injuries. Our insurance includes general liability coverage in case a client is injured due to such incidents while they are in your care. For example, if a client falls off a stationary bike, you may face potential lawsuits with hefty fees & medical expenses.

Allergic Reactions or Adverse Effects

Liability insurance can help protect instructors if a client experiences negative consequences from a product used in a gym e.g. cleaning materials. Within professional & general liability insurance, we can help cover medical costs if someone were to sue due to an allergic reaction. 

Identity Theft Protection

In today's digital age, personal information security is paramount. NACAMS physical therapy insurance provides coverage for identity protection, safeguarding you from the consequences of identity theft. Should your personal information be compromised, leading to fraudulent activities or financial loss, this coverage steps in to offer financial assistance and support to help restore your identity and mitigate the resulting damages.

 

Libel or Slander Incidents

Personal trainers and fitness professionals might instruct through various channels, including online platforms. If a teacher's statements about their training or services are perceived as libelous or slanderous by a client, fellow student, or instructor, liability insurance can offer protection against potential legal claims.

 

What Does A NACAMS Policy Include?

While other insurance providers may charge extra for additional coverage, NACAMS includes everything in a single policy. In other words, your policy runs the gamut of protective liability coverage. Liability insurance is an investment every professional should make to keep their financial assets protected.

  • Professional & General Liability Insurance: $1 million per occurrence; $3 million annually

Frequently Asked Questions

If I’m already an employee in a gym, do I need to get personal trainer insurance?

To best protect your financial future and your career, yes you should have your own individual coverage. While you may be afforded some level of protection as an employee of a gym, liability still extends to you as you perform personal training services with clients. This leaves it open for the possibility of a claim being filed against the gym you work for and yourself. That’s why the best safeguard for professionals in the industry - and also most cost-effective - is a personal trainer insurance policy. For just $179 a year, you can have complete confidence knowing you are covered should an unforeseen event give rise to a claim.

What kind of insurance coverage does a personal trainer need?

As a personal trainer, you will be providing your clients with expert recommendations to help them reach their fitness goals. This requires a lot of hands-on instructions, helping clients through complex movements and tough exercise routines. Within the industry, many accidents occur each year. A client slipping on sweat as you run them through cross-training stations is one of a million all-too-common unforeseen events that can seriously impact a trainer’s personal finances and put a career in jeopardy.

We’ve spent decades in the industry and know the risks. We’ve produced a perfect plan for personal trainers that helps to mitigate the inherent liabilities of the industry. Generous limits for general and professional liability are complemented with additional protections for the real-world like an identity protection plan.

Why do trainers need personal trainer insurance?

Personal training requires clients to conduct exercise. Conducting almost any exercise requires some form of movement. Movement creates opportunities for accidents and injuries to occur. When you are engaged with a client, you are responsible for their health and well-being. Liability insurance covers those liabilities which are inherent to the business such as injury or other mishaps.

Broadly, general and professional liability helps cover the majority of claims that can arise. These provisions have generous coverage limits in order to safeguard policyholders to the greatest extent possible, while also maintaining affordability and quality of coverage. Without personal trainer insurance, you could be left paying the thousands that a claim can incur completely out-of-pocket.

 

How much does professional liability insurance for personal trainers cost?

Our professional policies are just $179 for a full year of coverage. We also provide students in personal training the option to purchase insurance to safeguard their future careers for only $60 per year. This policy includes all of the same provisions of our professional policies at an affordable rate for students.

Definitely! We want to foster the next generation of leaders in the personal training profession so offer the full and complete coverage that comes with our professional insurance policies for students for just $60 per year while they complete their training.

Is professional liability insurance for athletic trainers the same as personal trainer insurance?

No, athletic trainers have specialized training in sports medicine to help prevent and treat athletic injuries and is not the same as personal training. We do not currently provide insurance coverage for athletic trainers but we recommend Athletics Trainer Insurance Plus for people looking for that type of liability insurance.

How long does it take to have proof of insurance?

One of the great benefits of our personal trainer insurance policy is instant coverage and immediate proof of insurance once you become a member.

How can I use a website to expand my personal trainer business?

Now, more than ever, your potential clients are searching the web for where to eat, where to stay, and what to do. When searching for personal trainers in their area, a website helps to direct these people right to your unique brand of services. You can showcase your training, help educate on different topics in the industry, and can include tools like a “contact us” form that helps gather new clients’ information 24/7.

What is the Best Liability Insurance for Personal Trainers?

Finding the appropriate personal trainer insurance is an important process and can be a daunting decision. You will want to be sure that you are getting the right coverage for your discipline, that it will protect you from liability. It also needs to be affordable and accessible. 

NACAMS has created the perfect personal trainer insurance policy to provide the protection and coverage you need and to meet your budget. At just $179 per year, the professional liability insurance for personal trainers offered by NACAMS is specifically designed to provide you with the necessary coverage and protection while being affordable and easily accessible. Securing insurance is the ultimate safeguard for personal trainers looking to make a career in fitness. 

AquaFit is low-impact, why would I need personal trainer insurance?

Because it’s performed in a swimming pool, Aqua Fit is a great low-intensity aerobic exercise. However, even as a low-impact exercise, you’ll be dealing with clients of all ages and levels of physical fitness. An older client could easily assert that your instructions made them hurt themselves in some fashion. Even if the client had a preexisting condition, you can still be held liable for some portion of the loss event. Our policies provide coverage to an incredible array of different fitness programs, including Aqua Fit, so our members can focus on providing a great workout rather than the what-ifs that come from a potential claim.
