Trainer

Gym staff member

A trainer is someone who teaches skills or prepares others for performance—an athletic trainer conditions athletes, a dog trainer shapes behavior, a corporate trainer leads workshops.

The word also names a type of athletic shoe designed for exercise, especially in British English: I need new trainers for the gym.

In computing and gaming, a trainer is a program that modifies game behavior, typically to cheat.
