How Daxko Business Insurance helps clubs cut costs and reduce risk

While running a successful club, you’re managing member expectations, staffing, programs, equipment, and a full tech stack of software and payment providers. Somewhere in that mix sits your business insurance, often on autopilot, rarely revisited, and almost never tailored to the realities of a modern fitness business.

Daxko Business Insurance changes that. It brings fitness-specific commercial coverage directly into the Club Automation ecosystem, so you can protect your business with the same partner you already trust for billing, payments, and member management.

The hidden cost of “Good enough” insurance

Many clubs inherit generic commercial policies that were “good enough” when they were first written. Over time, premiums creep up, riders get bolted on, and very few operators stop to ask: Is this really the right coverage for a fitness club, and at the right price?

Industry data shows that fitness-specific policies can sharply reduce costs because they focus on the actual risks of gyms and studios instead of broad, one-size-fits-all coverage. Across Daxko’s ecosystem, clubs moving to tailored business insurance have saved an average of 39% on their policies. Daxko Business Insurance is built to help Club Automation customers capture these savings without adding another vendor to their already long list.

Meet Daxko Business Insurance

Daxko Business Insurance is a fitness-specific commercial insurance solution designed for health clubs, gyms, and studios, seamlessly accessible within Club Automation.

For Club Automation operators, that means:

  • Reduced risk, stronger financial health – Combining insurance and payments under Daxko helps clubs protect revenue, ensure business continuity, and qualify for better rates.
  • Expert, fitness-focused guidance – Work with a provider that understands equipment, trainers, high-traffic facilities, and class-based programming.
  • Less operational friction – From quotes to binding and renewals, the process is designed to feel like an extension of your existing workflow, not a separate project.

Why fitness-specific coverage matters

General commercial policies are often built for offices, retail, or light industrial environments, not for facilities full of heavy equipment, high-intensity workouts, and group training. Fitness business insurance typically combines general liability, professional liability, and coverage for business personal property in a way that reflects real-world risks: equipment injuries, instructor negligence claims, member slip-and-fall incidents, and more.

Daxko Business Insurance focuses specifically on:

  1. Commercial liability – Including general liability and professional liability for trainers, instructors, and staff.
  2. Business personal property – Protection for equipment, furnishings, and other moveable assets that keep your club running.
  3. Right-sized coverage – Fitness-specific policies avoid unnecessary add-ons that often bloat generic commercial plans.

Because Daxko already powers your billing, payments, and operational data, insurers get a clearer picture of your business health and risk profile. That can translate into faster underwriting decisions, better-aligned coverage, and preferred pricing that improves over time as your performance data builds.

Part of a bigger financial ecosystem for clubs

Insurance is not a standalone initiative for Daxko, it is part of a broader financial services strategy that includes billing, payments, loans, and revenue analytics for thousands of mission-driven organizations.

  1. Consolidation: Fewer vendors to manage for your core financial stack.
  2. Visibility: A more complete view of your club’s financial health, from recurring revenue to risk exposure.
  3. Operational efficiency: Staff spend less time chasing paperwork, logging into multiple portals, or deciphering policy jargon, and more time on members and programming.

The end goal is simple: make financial operations easier, more predictable, and more resilient for fitness businesses of all sizes.
