personal trainer

One-on-one instructor

A personal trainer is a fitness professional who designs and supervises exercise programs for individual clients.

They provide instruction on proper form, motivation, and accountability: I started seeing a personal trainer twice a week.

Personal trainers work in gyms, private studios, or clients' homes, and may specialize in weight loss, strength training, or rehabilitation.
