How fit is your insurance policy?
As a gym or fitness center owner, customer waivers are usually not enough to protect you from potentially damaging financial risks. A specialty fitness center insurance policy can fill the gaps.
Unique coverage for a unique business.
As a fitness center, your business relies the most on your staff and equipment, while prioritizing the safety of your customers. This is where specialized fitness center insurance comes in, protecting the various risks your business faces on a regular basis.
When waivers alone simply aren’t enough.
While most gyms get customers to sign waivers, that’s often not enough to protect you against lawsuits. And, even if such lawsuits fail, you may still face legal costs. That’s why you need specialty fitness center insurance to cover against the specific risks of a gym.
Real world examples of the risks fitness centers face.
For example, you could be held liable for injuries caused by inadequately maintained equipment. You might face professional liability claims if a customer suffers a health emergency or injury and blames the advice your staff gave. You could even be sued by customers over problems with the goods you sell, such as nutritional supplements.
The business side of fitness centers.
Of course, a good fitness center policy also covers standard business insurance like workers’ compensation, employment practice liability, and protection for your buildings and equipment.
How to minimize risks on a daily basis.
Check with your insurer for any guidance they offer about minimizing risk; for example, posting adequate warning signs about hazards when using the equipment, or adequately training staff to deal with emergencies and minimize damage.
