What Insurance Does Your Gym Need?

It is necessary to protect yourself against the damages that your gym can suffer and the civil liability claims that you may receive from your partners or third parties in general. If you do not have insurance for your gym, you will have to face the claims or compensation with your assets if you are self-employed, or with the assets of your company. You wouldn’t be the first gym to receive a claim if a member has an unfortunate accident with a weight machine, for example, the necessary investment that you undertake to set up a gym is enormous, that is why it is necessary to protect the gym with insurance.

To protect themselves, gyms usually take out gym business insurance that aims to protect the premises, the civil liability of the premises itself for damages to third parties that may be produced by these guarantees, the civil liability derived from the sports activity of the gym and legal defence against possible claims. If the location of your gym is for rent, you only have to insure the content, since the owner takes care of the continent.

One of the basic coverages for a gym is the civil liability for exploitation to cover the possible accidents that can occur in a gym. The civil liability coverage for gyms covers legal defense expenses and compensation or expenses that the business has to face.

There are many other optional coverages that can be included or contracted separately to the commercial insurance of a gym: accidents that you suffer in the first person or of your employees, guarantees of theft even of the goods of the clients deposited in their lockers, legal defense extended for breach of contracts, labor issues, etc.

If the location of your gym is for rent, you only have to insure the content in your commercial insurance, and to the continent is the responsibility of the owner.

When the gym premises are rented, an alternative to commercial insurance is to take out general civil liability insurance that covers possible damages to third parties. The civil liability insurance of a gym is cheaper than the commercial insurance, but the premises or the equipment would not be covered by the guarantees of the commercial insurance. In case of contracting a General Civil Liability insurance for your gym, it is recommended that you include a locative civil liability coverage that covers damages to the premises due to flooding, fire or deflagration. The General RC insurance covers damages to third parties within its basic coverage, to have coverage on the premises itself it is necessary to contract the optional rental RC coverage.

How much does your gym insurance cost?

The price of the fitness business insurance of a gym is given by a series of variables such as the square meters of the premises, if the business is owned or rented, the number of workers, the location, the security measures that you are going to install, etc. You should also know that there are policies that do not cover theft, for example, or that do not include the breakage of glass or loss of profits among their coverage, or the employer's CR is not added or any other type of CR, and that is why they have higher or lower price.
