  Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) – A Complete Guide for Future Personal Trainers As a certified personal trainer, your role is not just to design workout plans but also to guide clients through safe and sustainable fitness journeys. One area that often comes up in advanced fitness discussions—especially with athletes and bodybuilders—is  Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) . Understanding PCT is crucial for a personal trainer, not because you should recommend steroids, but because clients may approach you after using them and need guidance on recovery. What is Post Cycle Therapy (PCT)?
