Piloxing Insurance

To be covered under our Piloxing instructor insurance, you need to hold a recognised qualification specific to teaching Piloxing, typically issued by Piloxing Academy or another approved training provider. The standard certification requires completion of both theoretical knowledge and practical teaching assessments. We may also recognise qualified fitness professionals with broader certifications (such as Level 3 Personal Trainer qualifications) who have completed a verified Piloxing specialisation course.

If you’re unsure whether your qualifications meet our requirements, please contact our team with the details of your certification for confirmation.

Our standard Piloxing insurance covers you specifically for teaching Piloxing classes. However, many instructors teach multiple disciplines, and we can easily extend your policy to cover additional fitness activities. When purchasing your insurance, you’ll have the opportunity to select additional disciplines from our comprehensive list. Some activities may require specific qualifications or attract a slightly higher premium depending on their risk profile. If you later add new class types to your teaching schedule, you can update your policy at any time to ensure continuous protection across all your professional activities.

If a client sustains an injury during your class and makes a claim against you, your public liability and malpractice insurance would respond to protect you. Upon becoming aware of a potential claim, you should contact us immediately. Our claims team will guide you through the necessary steps, which typically include providing details of the incident, your qualifications, class plans, any waivers signed by the participant, and other relevant documentation. It’s important to maintain detailed records of all classes, including attendance, any specific instructions or modifications given to participants, and any incidents that occur, as this information can be invaluable during the claims process.

The shift towards virtual fitness instruction has raised new questions about liability coverage. Our Piloxing insurance can extend to cover online classes, but there are important considerations specific to digital teaching. When instructing remotely, you still have a duty of care to participants, including providing clear safety instructions, appropriate modifications, and ensuring exercises are suitable for remote practice without direct supervision. We recommend discussing your online teaching activities with our team to ensure your policy adequately covers this aspect of your business, particularly if virtual classes represent a significant portion of your teaching schedule.

Your standard liability policy focuses on protecting you against claims from third parties rather than covering your own property. However, we offer equipment insurance as an optional addition to your policy, which protects your Piloxing-specific equipment, audio systems, and other business property against theft, damage, or loss. This coverage is particularly valuable for mobile instructors who transport equipment between venues or those with significant investment in specialised Piloxing gear. When adding equipment coverage, you’ll need to provide an accurate valuation of your items to ensure sufficient protection in case of a claim.

We understand that in the fitness industry, opportunities often arise at short notice. Our online application process is designed for efficiency, allowing you to secure coverage immediately. Once you complete your application and payment, your insurance documents are instantly available for download. This means you can literally obtain insurance minutes before a new teaching opportunity if necessary – though we generally recommend arranging coverage further in advance when possible. Your documentation will include proof of insurance that can be presented to venues or clients as required.
