Yes. Public liability insurance covers injury or property damage during sessions, and professional indemnity covers bad advice. Ask for the certificate — this matters most with independent and mobile trainers, since gym-employed trainers are usually covered by the gym.

Gym-based sessions are usually the cheapest because the facility is included. Mobile trainers add a travel premium of roughly 10-25%, but you save the gym membership and commute, so total cost can even out if you don't otherwise use a gym.

Guaranteed weight-loss numbers, no health screening before your first workout, hard-selling supplements they profit from, pressure to prepay months of sessions, and inability to show certification or insurance. Any one of these is a reason to walk away.
