Heriberto Salazar got himself in a gym and began to take steroids. He became bulked up pretty quickly, but his genitals got very tiny. He thanks Saint John Bosco very much because with his help he managed to recover them a little. He stopped taking steroids as well.

Give me strength, Saint Jude, to get in a good shape with the exercise.

My wife insisted that I go to the gym to exercise in order to get rid of my belly. But I was very lazy. I give thanks to Saint Pancras for finally going there because there are a lot of very beautiful girls with excellent bodies at the gym and whenever I go there I always have a very nice sight.

We thank the Virgin Mary for helping us select the best gym.

Joaquin Fernandez gives thanks with the retablo to Saint John Bosco for the success he had with his boxing gym and for he has some promising boxers.

I thank the Holy Virgin because I was a very weak lad and everybody bullied and beat me. Until one day I found a gym, where one year later, after so much effort, I became a real muscleman. Also, in the gym, I can admire other guys who are shaped as well as I am and make friends with them.
