5 Claims That Hit Gyms the Hardest
By GiP Team
1. Member injury on equipment
The most common gym claim. General liability responds, but limits and defense costs matter more than the premium line.
2. Personal training injury
This is where professional liability earns its keep. A general liability policy alone may not respond to instruction-related claims.
3. Slip and fall
Locker rooms, showers, and turf areas. Documentation and maintenance logs matter as much as the policy.
4. Equipment breakdown
A failed HVAC or a bank of treadmills going down is a revenue event, not just a repair bill.
5. Member data breach
Billing information, waivers, and health data all sit in your system. Cyber coverage is no longer optional for a gym.
