Additional Risks For 24 Hour Gyms

24 hour gyms face a number of additional risks that other gyms with set opening hours may never have to consider.

Because 24 hour gyms operate through the night, there will be times when there is no staff on the premises. This means that all the expensive gym equipment, and any customers using it, will be unsupervised.

Thieves and vandals may intentionally target your gym during its unsupervised hours. If a fire or a flood breaks out, and there is nobody around to address it, it could result in severe damage. And if a customer injures themselves while using their gym during unsupervised hours, they may make a claim of negligence against you, which could result in costly legal fees and compensation payments.


What insurance do 24 hour gyms need?

24 hour gyms can benefits from a range of insurance cover, including:

  • Public and Employer’s Liability – Cover for any accidents and injuries that staff, customers, or other members of the public might sustain on your premises. This is particularly important cover for 24 hour gyms, as it can extend to periods when your gym is unsupervised.
  • Professional Liability Insurance – This can cover you and your gym for injury or harm caused as a result of negligence, errors or omissions – such as poor advice or instruction from trainers.
  • Buildings and Contents – This will cover your gym premises, as well as your equipment, along with any fixtures, fittings, and furniture, for repairs or replacements following loss, damage, or theft.
  • Business Interruption – Your customers chose you because you operate around the clock. If you ever need to temporarily close due to an unexpected event, you will lose income, and some of your customers may demand refunds or discounts. But business interruption insurance can cover your overheads, along with any other loss of income, until you are able to open again.
