Frequently Asked Questions

Am I covered if a client has a heart attack during training?

Public liability covers injury if it's your negligence (e.g., ignoring health warnings). If a client has an undisclosed heart condition, you may not be liable. Always get full health declarations.

What if I give incorrect exercise instruction and the client is injured?

If the instruction causes injury due to your negligence, public liability covers the claim. This is why proper training and qualifications are critical.

Does the cover include online or remote personal training?

Many policies cover in-person training. Online training where you can't see the client directly is higher risk. Disclose online training to your insurer.

Do I need disclosure forms from clients about health conditions?

Highly recommended. A signed health declaration helps protect you legally. It shows the client disclosed risks. Always keep these on file.
