If you’re working with clients, the simple answer is yes, you do need insurance!
The reason insurance is needed is due to the large increase in claims being made against health and fitness professionals. Essentially, if you are accused of failing to deliver on your services or you are alleged to have caused harm or financial loss to a client due to an error or omission in your services, you can be sued. The insurance would then stop you from having to bear the full cost of a civil lawsuit.
If you are not adequately qualified, an insurance company wouldn’t insure you as you are much more likely to give advice that causes harm. That is where MNU comes in, through successful graduation from MNU, you are then eligible to gain this insurance.
