fitness guru

Exercise lifestyle coach

A fitness guru is someone widely regarded as an expert or authority on exercise, health, and physical conditioning.

The term often carries a whiff of skepticism—gurus may be legitimate professionals or self-appointed experts peddling dubious advice and branded products: She follows that fitness guru on Instagram who's always pushing supplements.

The guru label suggests a devoted following and a certain amount of charisma or self-promotion.
