Health & Fitness Insurance

Instant comprehensive cover for your health and fitness business

Solid, Affordable Health & Fitness Insurance

Working in the health and fitness industry naturally means you’ll be working closely with clients and members of the public. Having the right cover in place is vital to protect yourself if you’re faced with a client who suffers an injury as a result of a service or advice that you offer them and then decides to sue you for compensation.

Dependable insurance doesn’t have to break the bank. Our Fitness Gold policy (one of the Salon Gold family of policies) offers a selected package of covers to protect you against the risks you face in the course of running your health or fitness business. You can rest assured that it provides full liability cover and you’ll be surprised how affordable it is.

What’s included…

from £61.00* per year
* This price is for a £3m public, products and malpractice cover (up to £5m available) and £10k financial loss cover for a sole trader. It includes insurance premium tax and our admin charge. ALL customers will pay this amount UNLESS they choose to take out additional optional covers or treatments which are priced separately.

With Fitness Gold, we also offer some optional covers that you might wish to add to your policy. These include employers liability insurance, which is a legal obligation if you employ staff in your health or fitness business. You may also choose to add personal accident cover, or stock and equipment cover. You can add any extra covers that you want, but you don’t end up paying for covers you don’t need.

As a general rule, employers should have insurance that covers all their members of staff, so if you’re working for a professional health and fitness establishment, such as a gym, then check that this is the case and you shouldn’t need to take out additional insurance yourself.

However, if you’re self-employed, or if you’re employed but you do extra freelance work, then you will need to hold your own insurance policy.

At Fitness Gold, we include Public Liability, Product Liability, and Malpractice Insurance as standard covers, up to a maximum of £5 million. Our affordable rates mean that you can easily protect yourself from a huge range of issues which could leave you and your business exposed to substantial claims and hefty legal costs.

What is the difference between gym insurance and freelance insurance?

If you are self-employed, freelance or mobile insurance is designed to suit you and will just cover your public liability (plus you can choose to add some optional additional covers such as stock and equipment). However, a gym package would cover your entire gym including your liabilities, your staff, your stock and contents, your glass, your loss of profits, stock in transit etc. If you have a premises, you really should choose a complete gym package to ensure you are fully protected.
