aerobics instructor

Gym class teacher

An aerobics instructor leads group exercise classes, guiding participants through choreographed routines set to music.

The role combines fitness expertise with performance—instructors demonstrate moves, maintain energy, and motivate participants through verbal cues: The aerobics instructor counted down the final reps.

The term evokes the high-energy workout culture of the 1980s and 90s.
