💪 Alberta Personal Trainers: Are you relying on the gym's insurance?
Here is a quick tip that could save your business: Most commercial gym policies do not cover independent contractors. If a client gets injured during your session or a piece of equipment gets damaged, you could be held personally liable for the costs.
To fully protect your livelihood, make sure your personal policy includes these two distinct coverages:
• Commercial General Liability (CGL): Covers physical accidents and property damage (e.g., a client trips over a dumbbell or cracks a rented studio mirror).
• Professional Liability (E&O): Protects you if a client claims your specific workout programming, advice, or lack of supervision caused an injury or physical setback.
Don't wait for an accident to find out you're underinsured. Double-check your policy today! 🛡️
