Canopy Personal Trainer Liability Insurance

By Joe Cannon Leave a Comment

I'm a believer that all fitness trainers should have personal trainer liability insurance.  I believe this is also important for personal trainers working in gyms too. While I cannot give statistics on how many trainers have been sued, I can tell you that I have been contacted by lawyers who are looking for experts to help them in court cases against trainers who accidentally injure their clients. Stuff happens from time to time even in the most educated and well meaning of trainers. Because of the need for better awareness, I have allowed Insurance Canopy to write this Sponsored Guest Post on the importance of fitness trainer insurance.  You can reach out to them in the links provided for a personalized quote. Leave a comment below if you have comments for me.

Why ​ ​Choose ​ ​Insurance ​ ​Canopy ​ ​for ​ ​Personal ​ ​Trainer ​ ​Insurance?

As​ ​a ​ ​personal ​ ​trainer, ​ ​you ​ ​work​ ​hard ​ ​to ​ ​help ​ ​your​ ​clients​ ​achieve ​ ​their​ ​fitness​ ​goals. ​ ​However, when ​ ​you ​ ​work​ ​closely​ ​with ​ ​people, ​ ​you ​ ​expose ​ ​yourself ​ ​to ​ ​potential ​ ​lawsuits​ ​or​ ​claims​ ​against you. ​ ​One ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​best ​ ​ways​ ​you ​ ​can ​ ​safeguard ​ ​your​ ​business​ ​from​ ​these ​ ​types​ ​of ​ ​risks​ ​is​ ​with personal ​ ​trainer​ ​insurance.

Why ​​is ​Personal ​ ​Trainer ​ ​Insurance ​ ​Important?

Oftentimes, ​ ​you ​ ​push ​ ​your​ ​clients​ ​to ​ ​the ​ ​max, ​ ​subjecting ​ ​them​ ​to ​ ​challenging, ​ ​sometimes physically​ ​demanding ​ ​conditions​ ​on ​ ​the ​ ​daily​ ​–after​ ​all, ​ ​that's​ ​your​ ​job. ​ ​The ​ ​last ​ ​thing ​ ​you ​ ​should have ​ ​looming ​ ​over​ ​you ​ ​while ​ ​you’re ​ ​whipping ​ ​someone ​ ​into ​ ​shape ​ ​is​ ​the ​ ​worry​ ​of ​ ​a ​ ​possible court ​ ​entanglement. ​ ​

For​ ​example, ​ ​if ​ ​a ​ ​client ​ ​claims​ ​bodily​ ​injury​ ​while ​under​ ​your​ ​direct supervision ​ ​and ​ ​care, ​ ​it ​ ​could ​ ​end ​ ​up ​ ​costing ​ ​you ​ ​thousands​ ​of ​ ​dollars​ ​and ​ ​even ​ ​your​ ​career altogether.

Personal ​ ​trainer​ ​insurance ​ ​from​ ​Canopy, ​ ​can ​ ​help ​ ​provide ​ ​a ​ ​layer​ ​of ​ ​protection ​ ​for​ ​your​ ​business in ​ ​the ​ ​event ​ ​of ​ ​an ​ ​unforeseen ​ ​circumstance. ​ ​Insurance ​ ​can ​ ​back​ ​you ​ ​up ​ ​by​ ​paying ​ ​for​ ​expenses associated ​ ​with ​ ​a ​ ​covered ​ ​lawsuit ​ ​or​ ​claims​ ​such ​ ​as​ ​medical ​ ​costs​ ​and ​ ​legal ​ ​fees.
