Bellyfit instructors need specialist, comprehensive insurance policies to protect themselves and their students. Here at Fitness Gold, we can provide professional insurance policies, including public liability cover, to protect bellyfit instructors and practitioners of all kinds.
Bellyfit is a unique fitness system designed for women, blending belly dance, African dance, Bollywood, and traditional fitness with mindfulness practices like yoga and meditation. It focuses on core strength, cardiovascular conditioning, and the mind-body connection while celebrating feminine movement patterns and cultural dance traditions.
Our dedicated insurance policies provide comprehensive protection for mobile instructors, freelancers, and studio owners, offering value for money while supporting the growth and safety of your business.
Insurance provided by a Standard & Poor’s A (Strong) rated insurer.
We’ve been working with businesses like yours for over 40 years.
Tailor-made insurance policies, made for specialists, by specialists.
Our comprehensive Bellyfit Insurance packages provide protection tailored specifically for the unique aspects of teaching this holistic fitness system. Here’s what our policies include:
This essential coverage protects you if a client or member of the public suffers an injury or property damage because of your business activities. For Bellyfit instructors, this could include scenarios like a participant tripping over your equipment, falling during a movement sequence, or damaging venue property during class.
Should you sell or supply any products to your clients, such as recommended yoga mats, fitness clothing, or nutritional supplements, this coverage protects you if those products cause injury or illness.
This specialist protection covers claims arising from the specific fitness instruction and physical guidance you provide. If a client claims that your Bellyfit instruction caused an injury or exacerbated an existing condition, this coverage responds to the claim, covering legal costs and any compensation awarded.
This important protection covers claims for financial losses that don’t involve physical injury or property damage. For example, if a client claims they lost income due to having to take time off work following your advice, this coverage would respond to the claim. We automatically include £10,000 of financial loss coverage in our policies.
Our Bellyfit Insurance can be enhanced with additional optional covers to provide complete protection for your business:
Protects your valuable Bellyfit teaching equipment, including sound systems, yoga mats, props, and other items against damage, theft, or loss.
Provides financial support if you’re unable to teach due to your own injury, helping to replace lost income during your recovery period.
A legal requirement if you employ anyone, even on a part-time or temporary basis. This covers claims from employees who are injured or become ill as a result of working for you.
Each policy is customisable to your specific needs, ensuring you have comprehensive protection without paying for coverage you don’t require. Our experienced team can help you determine the appropriate levels of coverage based on your individual teaching circumstances.
Our Bellyfit Insurance is specifically designed for qualified instructors teaching this holistic fitness system across the UK. The policy is perfect for:
If you’re teaching other fitness disciplines alongside Bellyfit, we can tailor your policy to cover multiple activities. For those still completing their Bellyfit certification, we offer student insurance at special rates to protect you during your training period.
Our flexible policies ensure you’re only paying for the coverage you actually need, with the option to adjust your protection as your Bellyfit business evolves and grows.
Teaching Bellyfit is incredibly rewarding, offering the opportunity to help women connect with their bodies and improve their fitness through joyful movement. However, like all physical activities, it carries inherent risks that make professional insurance essential for responsible instructors.

The unique combination of dance movements, fitness exercises, and mindfulness practices in Bellyfit creates a distinct risk profile. Participants may be attempting unfamiliar movement patterns or pushing their physical boundaries in ways they haven’t before. Even with excellent instruction and careful supervision, accidents can happen:
Get a QuoteA participant might overextend during a dance sequence, resulting in muscle strain or joint injury
Someone could lose balance during a transition between movements and fall
A client might fail to disclose a pre-existing health condition that becomes aggravated during class
Equipment such as yoga mats, props, or sound systems could cause trips or injuries
The risks extend beyond physical injuries to participants. Consider these scenarios:

We may ask for evidence of your qualifications when you apply for insurance or if you need to make a claim.
Our Bellyfit Insurance starts from just £56 per year for essential coverage, including £3 million in public liability, products liability, and malpractice insurance, and £10,000 in financial loss cover. This base price is for sole traders and includes insurance premium tax.
The final premium will depend on several factors, including:
We offer flexible payment options, including the ability to spread your premium across monthly instalments if preferred. Our transparent pricing structure ensures you understand exactly what you’re paying for, with no hidden fees or charges.
Yes, our policies can include coverage for virtual or online Bellyfit instruction, which has become increasingly popular. However, there are important considerations for digital teaching:
If online instruction represents a significant portion of your business, please discuss this with our team to ensure your policy provides appropriate coverage for your in-person and virtual teaching activities.
If a participant sustains an injury during your class and subsequently makes a claim against you, your public liability and malpractice insurance would typically respond. You should notify us as soon as possible after becoming aware of a potential claim.
The standard liability policy doesn’t automatically include coverage for your equipment. However, you can add equipment insurance as an optional extension to your policy. This additional coverage protects your valuable Bellyfit teaching equipment – including sound systems, yoga mats, props, and other items – against damage, theft, or loss.
If you work mobile or freelance in the Bellyfit sector, our specialist policies provide all the cover you need at some of the best prices around.
