Why Personal Trainers
Need Insurance With An LLC

“I don’t need insurance if I have an LLC.
If I have a claim, I can just file for bankruptcy instead.”

As a personal trainer, you put a lot of time and money into your education, your career, and your business.

To make things easier, you may find ways to save money on tasks or programs—getting personal trainer insurance shouldn’t be one of them.

Filing for bankruptcy is a serious action that shouldn’t be taken lightly or thought of as a replacement to insurance. When you are faced with a large claim, this may sound like a good idea to you. But in the long run, you could be facing years of financial consequences.

It may be difficult to apply for credit cards, open bank accounts, get a new car, buy a house or rent an apartment, or find employment for years to come. In fact, most banks will never consider financing another business or LLC of yours if you have a history of bankruptcy.

A lot of this stress can be avoided by taking the right steps now to protect your business and be prepared for future claims. With personal trainer insurance, you could have most, if not all, of your claim expenses covered—without the negative consequences bankruptcy brings.
