Protection Against Liability

Fitness centers face inherent risks due to the physical nature of their operations. From slip and fall accidents to equipment malfunctions, there is always a potential for injuries or property damage. Insurance provides the necessary protection against liability claims, ensuring that you are financially safeguarded in the event of accidents or injuries that occur within your premises.

Coverage for Property and Equipment

Your fitness center is equipped with valuable assets, including fitness equipment, fixtures, and inventory. These assets can be at risk due to events such as fire, theft, or natural disasters. With appropriate property and equipment insurance, you can protect your investments and ensure that your business can quickly recover and resume operations.

Professional Liability Coverage

As a fitness center offering various services and programs, you and your fitness professionals are exposed to potential claims of professional negligence. Professional liability insurance, also known as errors and omissions insurance, provides coverage for claims arising from alleged mistakes, oversights, or inadequate advice. It protects you and your staff from the financial burden of legal costs and potential damages.

Employee Coverage and Workers' Compensation

Your fitness center likely employs a team of dedicated staff members who contribute to the success of your business. Having workers' compensation insurance ensures that your employees are protected in the event of work-related injuries or illnesses. It provides medical benefits, disability coverage, and wage replacement, allowing you to fulfill your duty of care as an employer.

Business Interruption Coverage

Unexpected events such as natural disasters or unforeseen circumstances can disrupt your fitness center's operations. Business interruption insurance helps cover financial losses and expenses during periods of closure or interruption. It provides reimbursement for lost revenue, ongoing expenses, and even relocation costs, allowing you to maintain financial stability during challenging times.

Peace of Mind and Business Continuity

Ultimately, insurance for fitness centers provides peace of mind and ensures the continuity of your business. By having comprehensive coverage in place, you can focus on delivering exceptional fitness experiences to your clients without the constant worry of potential financial setbacks. Insurance allows you to mitigate risks, protect your investments, and secure the future of your fitness center.

Learn more about CGL Insurance

CGL provides coverage for bodily injury or property damage caused by products you sell, services you offer or locations from which you operate. The insurance coverage provided within a CGL policy includes Employers Liability, Employee Benefits Liability, Tenant's Legal Liability, Products Liability, Personal Injury, Advertising Injury, Completed Operations, and Non-owned Automobile.

We suggest you have at least $2M as your liability limit
Learn more about what's included:
  • Employers Liability: Most employees are covered by worker's compensation but some employees do not qualify. Thus, the employers' liability provides bodily injury if an employee gets hurt at work—specifically, office employees who are not covered by worker's compensation.

  • Employee Benefits Liability: Provides employers who make an error or omission in administering their employee benefits program.

  • Tenant's Legal Liability: Included within most commercial general liability policies; and provides coverage for damage to a premise that you rent or control in which a covered peril damages the rented space within your care, custody and control. The policy does not cover the property you own within the rented space, only the damage caused to the landlord's property.
  • Products Liability: This is included within most commercial general liability policies and provides coverage for any bodily injury or property damage caused by the products you sell.
  • Personal/Advertising Injury: Encompasses a range of non-physical injuries that stem from specific actions. These actions include, but are not limited to, false arrest, detention or imprisonment, malicious prosecution, wrongful eviction or entry, defamation through oral or written publications, and infringement of an individual's right to privacy. These injuries may arise from various scenarios, such as being falsely accused, wrongfully evicted or having one's reputation tarnished through defamatory statements.
  • Completed Operations: Refer to injuries that are not physical and occur after a specific action or event has been completed. These actions include, but are not limited to, false arrest, detention or imprisonment, malicious prosecution, wrongful eviction or entry, defamation through oral or written publications, and infringement of an individual's right to privacy. These injuries may occur as a result of a completed service or project and can have long-lasting effects on the individual or organization involved. It's important to note that these injuries differ from Bodily injuries, which are physical injuries caused by an accident or incident.
  • Non-owned automobile: This coverage offers protection against liability when an employee uses their personal vehicle for business purposes. It is meant to cover situations where a business-related accident occurs while an employee is driving their car, not the company-owned one. This coverage is intended to fill the gap when the employee's personal auto policy needs to provide adequate protection. It's important to note that this coverage applies only when the vehicle is not owned, registered or contracted by the named business or on its behalf.
