You are likely to have insurance cover already in place, however if not, please find SJL Insurance, a specialist gym insurance partner that provides full insurance coverage that enables maximum revenue generation.

Confident cover for gyms, studios, and PT spaces — including virtual inductions for activities booked through bookagym.co.uk.

Running a gym is all about momentum. The right insurance keeps it that way—protecting your people, your place, and your peace of mind so you can focus on growing memberships, not managing mishaps.

Why partner with our insurance provider?

  • Purpose-built for gyms using online bookings: Our insurer partner recognises the realities of a digital-first fitness business. They’ll cover virtual inductions delivered through your platform so members are properly briefed and your sessions are protected — whether they’re booked on-site, off-peak, or via a mobile.
  • Fast quotes, clear language: No jargon. You’ll know exactly what’s covered and what isn’t.
  • Support that understands fitness: Friendly, specialist brokers who deal with gyms every day — from boutique studios to full-service clubs.

What your policy can include:

  • Employers’ Liability: Cover for claims arising from injury or illness to employees, instructors, and staff while working for you.
  • Public Liability: Protection if a member, visitor, or third party suffers injury or property damage connected to your gym’s activities — from the reception area to the free weights floor.
  • Property & Equipment Insurance: Cover for your premises, fixtures, and kit against events like theft, fire, vandalism, and certain weather-related damage.

Together, these form a comprehensive shield against legal costs, compensation, and unexpected repair or replacement bills — helping you keep classes running and doors open.

How it works (simple as 1–2–3)

  • Tell us about your setup. Size, activities, staffing, and how you use the booking platform (including virtual inductions).
  • Get a tailored quote. We’ll shape cover around your risks and budget — no one-size-fits-all.
  • Stay protected as you grow. Add new classes, trainers, or sites with flexible updates to your policy.

Why insurance matters for gyms like yours

  • Accidents happen: From a slip in the studio to a strained back during guided training.
  • Equipment isn’t cheap: Repairs and replacements can derail cash flow.
  • People rely on you: Smooth, uninterrupted operations build trust and retention.

The right policy keeps a single incident from becoming a long-term setback.

Virtual inductions — covered

Deliver your induction digitally (video, live call, or interactive guide) and keep members safe before they ever step onto the gym floor. Our partner’s policy can extend cover to these virtual inductions, helping ensure sessions booked through your platform are within scope of protection.

FAQs

Do I need cover if I use freelance trainers?

Yes — you still have obligations as the facility operator. Public liability and property cover remain essential, and you may need employers’ liability depending on how those trainers work with you.

Will classes in parks or off-site be covered?

Tell us where you operate — we can arrange cover for on- and off-site sessions when required.

What if I add new equipment or open a second site?

Your policy can scale. Just let us know and we’ll update your cover.
