What is weight lifting?

Weight lifting is a strength-based sport that involves lifting heavy weights for fitness, performance, or competition. Whether you're into powerlifting, bodybuilding, or just keeping up your gym routine while travelling, the activity focuses on improving muscle strength and endurance.

Do I need travel insurance for weight lifting?

Yes. Even when done safely, lifting can lead to muscle strains, joint injuries, or accidents in unfamiliar gyms. If you're travelling for a training programme, or just to stay active on holiday, travel insurance helps cover medical expenses and trip disruptions.

What does the cover include?

Emergency medical expenses for injuries sustained while lifting
Trip cancellation or delays caused by illness or injury

What’s included with weight lifting travel insurance?

Our policies offer emergency medical cover, personal accident protection, repatriation, and cancellation cover. You’ll also be covered for personal liability if you unintentionally cause injury or damage while lifting abroad.

Is this covered by standard travel insurance?

Usually not. Many standard policies exclude strength sports or gym-based training. You’ll need a policy that specifically includes weight lifting to ensure you're properly protected.

Can I get cover if I have a medical condition?

Often, yes. Simply declare your condition when getting your quote. We'll assess your eligibility and let you know if any additional terms apply.

Is there an age limit?

Some policies offer cover up to age 70. If you're in good health and actively training, options are likely still available – just check the provider's terms.
