Personal trainers!

    Hi all!

    I'm trying to find info on how this is arranged and would really appreciate some help if anyone out there has answers to my questions!

    Regarding insurance, I know that a personal trainer will have to be insured but how would this work if the trainer is working for a limited company?
    Would the trainers insurance be enough or would the company need to get insurance to cover the trainer or both?

    When it comes to getting insurance, do they require specific certifications? Would international ones suffice or do they prefer some of the Irish certs? (If so, any tips on which would be great!).

    Thanks in advance!

    fit pro in the uk do much of the insurance for trainers and why would a trainer be working for a company and still require their own instrance? Normally the fitness company would cover them?

    Nope , normally the company covers themselves , we where always told by the ntc to get our own personal cover . It’s very rare to hear of any one being sued successfully but there have been a few

    I think one of the girls is paying 120 for the year to cover her teaching classes on her own so it's not too bad
