What Insurance Do I Need As A Fitness Instructor?
As a fitness instructor, you need general and professional liability insurance. These are the two most vital insurance coverages that may help you cover the cost of accidents or damages caused by your professional instruction.
We recommend these coverages for fitness professionals:
- General Liability Insurance: Coverage that helps you pay for accidental injuries or damages caused by your business, like a scratched floor or a slip and fall.
- Professional Liability Insurance: Coverage that helps you pay for injuries or damages caused by your work, like broken equipment or pulled muscles from a fitness class.
- Additional Insureds: A third party added to your policy, like a business that contracts you, a gym or spa owner, or a building manager.
- Gear & Equipment Coverage: An optional coverage that helps you pay for repairs and replacements for gear that is stolen or damaged.
- Cyber Liability Insurance: An optional coverage that helps you pay for damages caused by cyber attacks on your business.
- Diet & Nutrition Coverage: An optional coverage that helps you cover the dietary and nutritional work you do, such as meal plans or diet recommendations.

Do Group Fitness Instructors Need Insurance?
Yes, group fitness instructors do need insurance—as do online fitness instructors and freelance fitness instructors.
If you train more than one client at a time, teach a fitness class, or lead team workouts, then you need insurance for group fitness instructors. It’s not uncommon to have a student get hurt or break a piece of equipment during a session—so it’s important to be covered for moments like these.

Questions About Insurance for Fitness Instructors
Fitness professional insurance can cover many common claims, including the following:
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Client injuries or death
- Damaged property
- Allergic reactions
- Stolen gear and equipment
If a client is hurt and unable to work, they could hold you responsible for covering the cost of medical bills, lost wages, and even emotional damages. If someone trips over a yoga mat and breaks a mirror in a studio you rent, you would be responsible for repairing the damages.
Even if you have clients sign a waiver, you can still be faced with lawsuits and need to defend yourself against them. A waiver cannot help you pay for legal expenses the way your insurance policy can.
With Insurance Canopy, you can feel confident you have the coverage you need to help you pay for common claims.
Gear & Equipment Coverage is a unique type of protection for your business’s items such as weights, yoga mats, and exercise equipment. You can use it to insure the stuff you take with you to a fitness class, the equipment you buy to furnish your own gym, or gear you use to record virtual fitness content.
This coverage is intended to insure the items you use in your day-to-day work for claims of theft or damages so you may have help paying for the cost to repair or replace your stuff. It cannot be used to insure “tangible property.” That means it can’t cover a building or items that are permanently attached to a structure, like lighting or window fixtures. The items have to be moveable or transportable.
Gear & Equipment Coverage is a great insurance option for fitness professionals who are mobile, run their own studio, or have invested in gear for an online business. It’s also a good for instructors who teach at retreats or special events where they need to bring their own gear.
You can add Gear & Equipment Coverage to your insurance policy for as low as $16/year or $1.33/month. It’s available to add to a new policy during the application process or to an existing policy from your online dashboard.
The difference between instructor insurance vs gym insurance is whether or not you own the property where you work.
- Gym insurance (property insurance) is coverage designed to insure buildings you own and use for your fitness business.
- Instructor insurance (liability insurance) is designed to insure the work you do as a professional and help you pay for claims caused by your business.
Liability insurance mainly focuses on the general and professional liability parts of the policy. This means most of the coverages apply to claims related to injuries or damages your fitness services cause to other people and their property. This policy does not offer the same protection as a property insurance coverage, and it may only cover you for some claims that occur in properties you rent (not own) under the Damage to Premises Rented to You coverage.
