If I own a small sneaker store and would like to buy a treadmill for people to try out the sneakers before they buy, what type of insurance would cover personal injury if someone gets hurt?

I have had a number of customers request that I have one in the store. I would like to know I do have insurance for my store and the agent isn’t 100% sure if I would be covered. What type of insurance should I get that would cover me and my store?
