Do gym owners need insurance?

Yes! Insurance is essential for gyms of any size. Here’s why: 

  • Landlords often require insurance before you sign a lease. 
  • State laws require workers’ compensation if you have employees. 
  • Client injury claims are common, especially in high-activity spaces. 
  • Professional services, like personal training, bring added liability risks. 
  • Many vendors and event partners require proof of insurance.
