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.
- Occurrence Form Coverage: Allows you to file a claim at any time for injuries or damages occurring during your policy period, like a minor ankle sprain during a session causing a bigger health concern for a client years later.**
With these coverages combined, you can create a customized fitness instructor insurance policy that works for you!

Questions About Insurance for Fitness Instructors
What Does Fitness Professionals Insurance Cover?
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.
How Does Gear & Equipment Coverage (Inland Marine) Work?
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 the gear you use to record virtual fitness content.
This coverage is best for fitness professionals who are mobile, run their own studio, or have invested in gear for an online business. It’s also good for instructors who teach at retreats or special events where they need to bring their own gear.
Our Gear & Equipment Coverage offers up to $10,000 in protection. You can choose the best plan and add coverage to your insurance policy for as low as $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.
What’s the Difference Between Instructor Insurance and Gym Insurance?
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.
Can I Get Fitness Instructor Insurance on a Monthly Basis?
Yes, you can get fitness liability insurance on a monthly basis for as low as $15 with Insurance Canopy! Simply begin your application to get a quick quote. From there, select the “pay monthly” option to secure your fitness instructor insurance today.
At Insurance Canopy, we understand that your business — and budget — sometimes requires flexibility. That’s why we make it easy for you to get monthly fitness liability insurance that balances high coverage with affordable pricing.
Does This Fitness Policy Cover Barre Instructors?
Yes, Insurance Canopy’s fitness policy covers barre instructors! Get comprehensive barre instructor insurance starting at only $159/year to protect yourself from claims like in-studio slips, injuries befalling overeager students, and even advertising mistakes.
Our customized fitness insurance for barre lets you add on extras, such as cyber liability and tools and equipment coverage, for a policy that’s as balanced as your instruction.
Need insurance for a shorter teaching season? We offer fitness instructor insurance by the month, so you can get covered and get back to the barre on your terms.
*Not currently available in Missouri.
**All customers who purchased a policy before 7/1/2024 will have a policy issued through Great American Insurance. This policy does not include occurrence form coverage and will be eligible to receive it after 7/1/2025.
