- A claim that a training program caused an injury.

What insurance does a gym or fitness business need?
Fitness businesses typically carry general liability, professional liability for training and instruction, commercial property for equipment, and workers compensation once staffed. Signed waivers help but do not replace liability coverage, and how much you need scales with your class types and equipment.
