From gym floors to online coaching spaces, PED use is no longer limited to elite bodybuilders. Today, clients of all shapes, sizes, and goals are turning to performance-enhancing drugs, often without guidance, without support, and without fully understanding the risks.
As a fitness professional, you will encounter clients who are enhanced.
This course will help you:
Understand what they’re taking, and why
Spot red flags early
Stay within your professional boundaries
And support them without encouraging use
This isn’t about preaching or promoting. It’s about knowledge, confidence, and professional responsibility.
You’ll cover:
The rise of PEDs in mainstream fitness
Why clients turn to steroids, SARMs, and peptides
Key substances: what they are, how they work, and what risks they carry
Physical and behavioural signs of PED use
Communication strategies that build trust without crossing ethical lines
Post-cycle therapy, referral pathways, and harm reduction tools
How to train and support both natural and enhanced clients, safely and ethically
This course is ideal for:
Qualified personal trainers (Level 3 or higher)
Gym staff, online coaches, and strength specialists
Any fitness professional who wants to better understand PEDs
Anyone who has felt out of their depth when a client opens up about steroid use
You don’t need to be enhanced yourself. You don’t need to agree with PEDs.
You just need to care about supporting your clients safely.
