Steroid Stories - Tell Us Your Story
At ShapeFit, we are dedicated to providing quality health and fitness information to help people get into shape and live healthier lives. This includes providing information about the negative effects of steroid use which is prevalent in many fitness areas including gyms and high schools around the world. Today, athletes and others use steroids to enhance performance and also to improve physical appearance, but at what cost? Our goal is to provide a better understanding of the extent of the problem and we would like to showcase real life stories from individuals who have used these drugs. All individuals will have the option to keep their identity completely anonymous. If you have used steroids and would like to take part in our project, please contact us and we will provide further information to get started.

We are also developing an area of our site called the "Steroid Free Zone" which will include articles, profiles and photos of several different substances in the hopes this will educate parents and other family members to become knowledgeable on the subject and be able to detect warning signs of possible use among their children. If you are a parent who has first hand experience with a child using steroids, we would also like to hear your story. Please contact us today.
