What this coverage is intended to address

✓Third-party bodily injury and property damage during aerial classes and open-gym sessions
✓Allegations that instruction, spotting, or rigging guidance contributed to a participant injury — professional liability insurance, also called Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance
✓Silks, hoops, hammocks, crash mats, and portable rigs (when scheduled on the policy)
✓Off-site workshops and performance-class exposures (subject to policy terms)

Important: Coverage terms, eligibility, and pricing are determined by the carrier and vary by state and individual circumstance.

General Liability

Professional Liability / E&O

Inland Marine (Equipment)

Hypothetical claim scenarios

These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.

A student loses their grip during an inverted silks pose and falls onto a mat awkwardly. The general liability policy is generally intended to respond to allegations of this nature in the event of a covered claim.
A participant alleges that an instructor progressed them to an advanced drop before they were ready. Professional liability — also known as Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance — is generally intended to address allegations of this type.

Frequently asked questions

Is aerial fitness harder to insure than regular fitness?

Aerial work involves height and apparatus exposure, so some standard fitness programs exclude it or cap the working height. Specialty fitness programs are typically designed with aerial arts in mind. Always disclose apparatus types and maximum heights on the application.

Does the studio's insurance cover me as an instructor?

Not necessarily. A studio policy is generally intended to protect the studio entity. Many studios require independent instructors to carry their own general liability and professional liability / E&O policy and name the studio as additional insured.
