Gym Insurance

Safeguard Your Gym with Insurance

Overview

Running a fitness facility in Australia means creating a safe, energising space for clients to train, recover, and thrive. But even with diligent maintenance and qualified staff, accidents, injuries, and claims can still happen. Gym insurance tailored to protect your business, allows you to focus on providing an exceptional health and fitness space.

Whether you run a 24/7 gym, yoga studio, or full-service health club, we offer cover from leading insurers, providing peace of mind for both established facilities and new ventures.

Coverage Options

Gym insurance combines Public Liability Insurance and Professional Indemnity Cover to protect your business from potential claims and financial risks.

Public Liability Insurance

Protects your business if a client, contractor or visitor is injured or their property is damaged while on your premises.

Professional Indemnity Cover

Covers allegations of negligence or poor advice, such as claims that an instructor’s guidance caused injury or financial loss.

Why Do Gyms Need Insurance?

Gyms are busy environments where people lift heavy weights, use complex equipment, and move at different fitness levels. Even with adequate safety measures, accidents can still happen. A member might injure themselves during a workout, a machine could malfunction, or a visitor could slip on a wet floor.

Beyond injuries, gyms also face risks such as fire or property damage, which can disrupt operations and incur unexpected costs. Fitness Professionals Insurance helps protect your business from these everyday risks, keeping your facility secure, legally compliant, and financially protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an excess to pay when claiming?

Yes. The excess amount depends on the insurer and selected cover level. We can help you choose a policy with an appropriate excess that suits your budget and risk profile.

Can I insure my gym equipment and fit-out?
How much public liability insurance do I need for a gym?

The level of cover required depends on your gym’s structure and specific risk factors. Policies can offer coverage of up to $20 million, ensuring comprehensive protection against liability claims.

Are staff and subcontracted trainers covered under the same policy?

Coverage for employees is typically included, but subcontractors may need to hold their own insurance unless explicitly covered by the gym’s policy. We can advise on structuring your cover to reflect your staffing model.
