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.
Coverage Examples:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.

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.

These provisions have generous coverage limits in order to safeguard policyholders to the greatest extent possible, while also maintaining affordability and quality of coverage.

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.
