Why is Group Exercise insurance important?

Group exercise 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.

Group exercise instructors 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 group exercise instructors 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 Group Exercise instructors

Public liability insurance for group exercise instructors 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.
