The job

Where this gets hard

An independent trainer’s lapse pulls a member injury onto you

Contract personal trainers and class instructors work under your roof but on their own policies. If one has lapsed when a member is hurt, the studio is exposed. Automated reminders keep each certificate current.

Contractors rotate on and off your schedule constantly

Instructors come and go with the class calendar, each a separate liability. Add each as a vendor, upload the certificate they provide, and filter by status to see who is still covered.

Landlords and franchisors ask for proof of coverage

Your lease and any franchise agreement may require evidence that independent contractors are insured. Export a CSV proof-of-coverage list in one click — on every plan, including Free.

FAQ — Gyms & fitness studios

Should independent trainers carry their own liability insurance?

Many studios require it so a member injury during a session sits with the trainer’s policy, not the gym. Add each trainer as a vendor and track the certificate they provide against its expiry date.

How do I collect certificates from new instructors?

Click "Request Update" on their vendor row and COI Tracker emails them from your name. They reply with the certificate, you upload the PDF, and the expiry date and reminders refresh.

Does COI Tracker confirm a trainer’s coverage is enough?

No — you review each certificate and decide whether it meets your requirement. COI Tracker stores the uploaded document, tracks the expiry date, and reminds you before it lapses.

Is the Free plan enough for a small studio?

The Free plan tracks 3 vendors. A studio with several contract instructors usually moves to Starter at $29/mo, and Growth at $59/mo adds CSV import to load your roster at once.
