From Strength to Sustainability: A Fitness Coach’s Journey to Protecting and Growing his Business.

Gibson, a fitness coach based in New York City, has specialized in training clients one-on-one using calisthenics and kettlebells to help them achieve their fitness goals. With a background in rehabilitation settings, he has become known as a mobility specialist. As he looks to expand his business to an online platform, he understands the importance of safeguarding his business as it grows. In conversation with Pete Hill, vice president of product at The Hartford, a company specializing in small business insurance, Gibson learns about the need for liability policies to protect his business. Hill emphasizes the importance of safety and privacy for clients, especially when training in different private gyms. It is essential for Gibson to understand what he is liable for and what the gym owner is responsible for in each situation.

With the support and expertise of The Hartford, Gibson is equipped with the knowledge and tools to grow his business successfully.
