PT (Personal Trainer)
Significado: A fitness professional who designs workouts and provides one-on-one coaching.
In gym slang, 'PT' means your personal trainer — the person who pushes you harder than you would push yourself. 'Getting a PT' is seen as both a luxury and a serious commitment to fitness. PTs range from certified professionals to Instagram-certified gym bros who just look big. 'PT session' is any one-on-one training appointment.
