FAQs
Common Questions from Gyms & Fitness Studios Businesses
Are personal trainers considered employees or independent contractors?
This varies significantly by arrangement. Improperly classifying trainers as independent contractors when they're actually employees can expose you to major liability. We help you understand the distinction.
Does workers comp cover a trainer who injures themselves demonstrating an exercise?
Yes. If a trainer injures themselves during a demonstration or in the performance of their job duties, workers comp covers their medical treatment and lost wages.
Is workers compensation required?
In most states, yes — businesses with one or more employees are required to carry workers comp. Requirements vary by state and sometimes by industry or number of employees. A licensed agent can clarify what applies in your state.
What happens if I don't carry workers comp and an employee is injured?
You could be personally liable for the employee's medical costs and lost wages, face significant fines, and be exposed to a lawsuit. The financial and legal exposure of operating without required coverage is substantial.
