The policies offer wide coverage including insuring trainers for work performed throughout the US, as well as coverage for online training, training in public parks, and more.

The Next Insurance offering to NASM/AFAA certified professionals includes:

• Fully online process, complete in a matter of minutes
• Monthly payment option available at no additional cost
• Ability to add unlimited "Additional Insured" (e.g. the gym, client's home, park, etc.)
