Planet Fitness Risk Management & Insurance Services
BE SAFE WITH SODEN
Proudly removing the mystery from the insurance & risk management process for Planet Fitness franchisees since 2010.
Benefit from a custom program designed specifically for Planet Fitness Franchises
Planet Fitness is not like other gyms and fitness franchises, so it doesn’t easily fit into a cookie-cutter program.

Risk exists everywhere in all business environments. One big mistake many companies make is assuming that the cost of risk only involves insurance premiums paid, retained losses & administrative costs. However, the TOTAL cost of risk includes far more than that.
One way to discover all of the risks facing your business—including risks that are unseen & unaddressed in your risk management program—is to examine the total cost of risk or TCOR.
TCOR is the total cost of the items that businesses are responsible for, including:
- Insurance Premiums
- Retained Losses (deductibles and uninsured losses)
- Indirect Costs
- Transaction costs
- Loss of reputation
- Loss of market share
- Overtime
- Additional training
- Product loss
- Production decrease
- Claims reporting and investigation
- Fines
- Calculating TCOR can provide a form of measurement for assessing how its risk-related costs are changing, relative to the overall growth rate of the business.
WHY IS KNOWLEDGE OF TCOR IMPORTANT?
By only focusing on insurance premiums to quantify risk, you miss many costs that you have more control over. The benefit of decreasing premiums is negated if your business sees an increase in indirect costs of claims and administrative costs. True cost reduction is most impacted by lowering indirect costs, which can often cost more than actual claims. TCOR helps identify those costs.
HOW DOES TCOR WORK?
TCOR is measured per $1,000 of revenue. By measuring TCOR against revenue, we can measure the progress that risk management and safety program makes in reducing internal costs throughout the years.
BENEFITS OF KNOWING YOUR TCOR
Businesses that accurately measure TCOR invest in more effective risk management efforts, which can provide a significant rate of return. TCOR helps businesses realize the following benefits:
Increased profitability, productivity and efficiency
Reduced costs across the entire business, rather than only reduced insurance premiums
Identification of inconsistencies in the organization’s risk management approach
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is designed to uncover exposures from your day-to-day business operations. Strategies are customized to address key exposure elements identified during this process. Our methodology is simple. We analyze your business operations from every angle to uncover hidden exposures not seen on paper. The results address the complex exposure issues your business faces to deal with in today’s marketplace. This process looks at four main asset categories: organization, personnel, net income and property.
Our experts conduct a technical review of your policies, coverages, claims and loss histories, operations, and safety and health programs. We assist in quantifying your total cost of risk. This provides the foundation for the remainder of our ERM assessment.
We can provide a comprehensive outsourced HR department – or customized, à la carte solutions with an affordable and flexible pricing structure which aligns to the size of your workforce and budget.
Our Services Include:
- Pre-Employment Engagement
- New Hire Onboarding

DO YOU HAVE A DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN IN PLACE?
A catastrophe or business emergency can be crippling for your organization, and most businesses don’t have a formal emergency response plan in place to safeguard their futures. Our team can guide you through the recovery process to help minimize the loss of revenue & customers, maintain your reputation and clarify the critical decisions to be made during a crisis.
DO YOUR EMPLOYEES HAVE THE PROPER TRAINING IN THE EVENT OF A BUSINESS INTERRUPTION?
During a crisis, your employees should know how to protect your business & customers, know who to contact and know how to keep themselves safe. We will help your employees know the exact steps to take during an emergency.
