Experience tells us that long standing businesses are lower risk. However, no matter how long you’ve been trading, we can offer advice along the way to help get the right cover and reduce your risk. For example, did you know you’ll need to have your lifting equipment inspected periodically to meet health and safety regulations. We can help you get this done. Naturally, all premiums and rates are dependent on risk and business factors.
We know that the modern gym isn’t just a few dumbbells and machines. Often there’s other office equipment (including computers and other electronics), stock (e.g. protein shakes and supplements) and sometimes even kitchen and health care equipment. The good news is, provided you tell us about everything you’d like covered, we can cover a huge range of contents under this policy. We do need to say however, our cover is subject to certain minimum security requirements.
We build in a degree of flexibility so that you can get the right cover levels for you from the outset. If for example you start offering new treatments or activities, you will need to update us. However, if you’re taking on more staff or your turnover has increased, we will review this at renewal and update your policy then. We can tailor cover to include activities away from your gym provided you give us full details when you set up your policy and cover is agreed. In terms of your buildings and contents cover, we recommend that you base this on the current replacement values to avoid 'under-insurance' in the event of a claim.
As a gym owner it’s likely that you’ll have a mixture of full and part time/temporary employees to run your classes. If this is the case, you can rest assured that all employees under your supervision and control as an employer will be covered as part of the employers' liability aspect of your policy. We can offer £10 million employers' liability cover to make sure you’re well within the legal requirement of £5 million cover.
These are just some of the key features and exclusions, full details will be found in your policy wording. Show policy documents
In the event of a claim please give us a call and we will talk through your claim and help guide you through your next steps in the process.
