Why is Pilates teacher insurance important?
Pilates teacher insurance acts as a legal safety net to minimise financial liability, should you be the subject of a claim – e.g., if a class participant suffers an injury, he or she may claim against you for compensation and/or medical costs.
Having insurance means that the financial liability of meeting these costs should be met by your insurance.
Pilates teachers are often called upon to give advice to their clients. Insurance is important to protect you against any ill-effects suffered by the client as a result of your advice.
Participation in exercise carries a certain risk, meaning that Pilates teachers need to have insurance in the event of a claim. Insufficient or complete lack of insurance could result in expensive liability claims made against you.
What are the benefits of insurance for Pilates teachers?
Public liability insurance for Pilates teachers will protect against claims made by members of the public for incidents that occur in connection with your instruction.
The insurance is important to protect you against expensive compensation claims for injuries to your clients/participants and third-party damage to property for working in gyms, studios, clubs, leisure facilities, community centres, village halls, private homes, outdoors and online.

Testimonials

Bella Bremner
Thank you for your very helpful and personal service with my professional insurance. It felt like the old days when one would talk to a professional insurance broker rather than today's call centres with people reading by rote from a script: “Computer says …”

FitPro stepped up for their trainers during the pandemic. Every step of the way, with every permutation of the rules and guidelines we received an email update of what the rules meant for PTs and their businesses. They spelled out exactly what fitness professionals were allowed to do, what they weren’t allowed to do, and what the guidelines meant for us. This is just one of the reasons I always recommend graduates from our Personal Training courses to go to FitPro when they qualify with us. I’m so impressed with the service.
