Frequently asked questions
What coverages do most fitness centers carry?
General liability for premises and member injury is the core, often paired with professional liability insurance, also called Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance, for instruction-related allegations. Property and workers compensation may also apply depending on your setup and state.
Does general liability handle claims about my trainers' advice?
Not by itself. Allegations that instruction caused harm generally fall to professional liability insurance, also called Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance, which is a separate exposure from a premises injury.
