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 participant trips over equipment in class and is injured. The general liability policy is intended to respond in the event of a covered claim.
A client alleges that an instructor's form correction caused a back injury. Professional liability (sometimes called Errors & Omissions / E&O) is generally intended to address allegations of this nature.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need professional liability or just general liability?

General liability is intended for third-party injury and property damage at your location. Professional liability — also called Errors & Omissions or E&O — is intended to respond to allegations that your advice or instruction caused harm. Many fitness professionals carry both.

Does this cover training off-site?

Off-site training (parks, client homes) is sometimes excluded from standard policies. A mobile-trainer endorsement is generally intended to address that gap.
