FAQs

What Liabilities Might I Run Into?

In an environment with heavy equipment and lots of activity, injuries can happen. Strive hires pre-screened, certified instructors and utilizes reliable equipment to combat this — but it’s never entirely unavoidable.

That’s why Strive has comprehensive liability insurance coverage that fully indemnifies our clients of risk. Safety is a priority and is reflected in our internal policies for staff, services, and facility management.

Are Strive’s Fitness Center Staff Qualified?

Our full-time, on-site gym staffing is provided by credentialed fitness professionals. A fitness center team typically consists of a fitness director and several specialists, depending on location size and scope of work.

Strive staff working in our clients’ fitness centers have degrees in Exercise Science, Kinesiology, or another health and fitness related field, and they’ve completed a nationally-recognized Personal Training Certification such as:

American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)
