trainers

Fitness session leaders

Trainers are athletic shoes designed for sports or casual wear—what Americans call sneakers.

The term is standard in British English: I need new trainers for the gym.

Trainers can also be people who train others, especially athletes or animals: a personal trainer, a dog trainer.

In aviation, a trainer is an aircraft used for flight instruction.
