boot camp instructor

Military training leader

A boot camp instructor is someone who leads an intensive training program.

The term originates in military basic training, where drill instructors push recruits through grueling physical and mental conditioning.

It now applies broadly to fitness trainers who run high-intensity workout classes: The boot camp instructor had us doing burpees until we collapsed.

The phrase suggests demanding, no-excuses leadership.
