If i will be training clients at a gym (as a non employee of the gym) and have them sign a liability release form, will i still be required to purchase liability insurance. I'm new to this profession, so any information will help me out.
thanks,

I'm suprised the gym doesn't make you get it, especially if you do not hold a certification from a credible certifying agency because if someone gets hurt they could claim you misrepresented yourself before they signed the waiver.

Liabilty waivers don't mean crap in court because a person can't waive negligence which is exactly what is claimed by the plantiff when suing someone. I'm a certified personal trainer but only train people through work as they are the ones with the insurance.

yes, you will still need insurance. the gym will most likely require that you have this...if not, then the powers that be in the gym are clueless, as it exposes them to greater liability
