Ideal Accounts and Examples
You might have a client who operates a 24-hour gym with weight machines, group fitness classes, and on-site trainers — a good fit for AIM’s package that combines GL, property, and professional liability. Another fit would be a single-location boutique studio offering personal training, yoga, and instructor-led classes that need professional liability for instructors plus general liability and contents coverage.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
AIM’s program is built to address the real operational risks fitness operators face: participant injuries, trainer professional exposures, equipment breakdown, property damage, and potential abuse/molestation exposures where relevant. The program supports higher limits, additional insured arrangements, and several optional endorsements to tailor coverage to each account.
Underwriting Appetite and Notes
Preferred accounts are locations with professional staff, documented client intake and waivers, and routine maintenance programs for equipment and facilities. Properties with swimming pools, tanning beds, or court sports are considered but require additional underwriting review. Accounts with histories of frequent claims, large prior losses, or inadequate safety protocols may be declined or referred to excess markets.
Territory and Market Positioning
This program is placed on a non-admitted basis through a selection of top-rated carriers and is available to agents and brokers placing business in North Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. AIM leverages its carrier relationships to quote limits and endorsements that meet evolving client needs.
