You work hard to help your clients improve their lives, but you can't predict accidents.

As an independent contractor working in a facility you don’t own, the facility’s insurance typically covers only the facility, but not you. This can leave you liable for any accidents that may happen to your clients. Having professional liability insurance for your trade may not only be required by the facilities you run your business in, it also can help protect you.

Why is insurance for personal trainers important?

Clients can get injured, and in some instances, they may blame you. As an independent contractor working at someone’s facility, you may be held responsible for client complaints regarding any injuries under your instruction. Professional liability insurance for personal trainers is a way to help you protect yourself.
