gym teachers

School athletics staff

Gym teachers are the instructors responsible for physical education in schools.

The role carries a stereotype of aggressive enthusiasm, questionable fashion choices (short shorts, whistles), and a tendency to bark orders or make students run laps as punishment.

Our gym teacher made us do push-ups in the rain.

The term often implies someone more interested in athletics than academics.
