In the British Army, the specialist instructors of the Royal Army Physical Training Corps oversee physical training and manage military gymnasiums and are attached to individual units. They are assisted by All Arm Physical Training Instructors (AAPTIs), previously known as Assistant Physical Training Instructors (APTIs), who are qualified, but are not specialists, have other jobs within the unit, and are not drawn from the RAPTC. The PTI badge consists of crossed swords.
Physical training instructors in the Royal Navy are officially titled Physical Trainers and are known as "club swingers" or "clubs" from the crossed clubs they wear as a rate badge. In the Royal Air Force, the PTI badge consists of crossed swords with an eagle in the centre.
