Malpractice Insurance for Fitness Professionals

What is Fitness Malpractice Insurance?

Fitness malpractice insurance, also known as fitness liability insurance, is financial protection designed to cover judgements, settlements, along with legal expenses of fitness professionals in the case of a malpractice lawsuit. In the event of a malpractice claim, whether the accusation is true or not, fitness professionals could be expected to pay large amounts in judgement, settlement or legal fees. The best protection against a financially damaging lawsuit and high legal fees is medical malpractice insurance. As a fitness professional, your employer’s group liability policy may prioritize their interests over yours. Owning your own individual fitness insurance policy, IN YOUR OWN NAME, will protect you, your family and your career, as well as your hard-earned personal assets.

What Risks Do I Face That Warrants Fitness Malpractice Insurance?

Fitness professionals lead, instruct, educate and motivate clients in exercise activities including cardiovascular exercise, strength training, stretching, etc. Professionals will work with people of all ages, body types, and skill sets. They often lead their own classes and design workouts to improve the health of their clients. Because the occupation is so hands-on and directly involves the well-being of their clients, fitness instructors can find themselves at the center of a malpractice claim. Personal malpractice insurance serves as the best protection against harmful allegations, whether they are true or not.
