Jaxon Tippet, a thriving and popular fitness influencer, has sadly passed away. On November 10, 2024, his family confirmed he lost his life at 30 years old, with the cause of death revealed as a heart attack.

Jaxon Tippet was an Australian fitness influencer who had amassed over 225,000 followers on Instagram with his motivational and inspirational content. Tippet also shared progress updates on his physique and was candid about struggling with a steroid addiction.

“It’s with a heavy heart that our beloved Jaxon has passed away on Nov 10th 2024. He was such a beautiful soul and had such a positive impact on the world.”

“Jaxon passed away while on his trip in Turkey and we want to ask for your help and support in getting him home. In the bio you will find a link to a GoFundMe page to help us get him home.”

“God bless x” family wrote

Before his sudden passing, Jaxon Tippet shared a macabre message on his birthday. 

“Growing old is better than the alternative: dying young.”

“All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.”

As mentioned previously, Tippet was open about his addiction to steroids, having revealed in an interview back in 2022 that it nearly ruined his life after being arrested with over 250 steroid tablets. 

“It was hell, bro,” he said.

“I lost a girlfriend off of it, I nearly lost my family off of it. I nearly went to jail as I got caught with my own personal use of steroids.”

Unfortunately, Jaxon Tippet is just one of many young influencers and bodybuilders to pass away due to heart complications. Just a few months ago, the ‘World’s Most Monstrous Bodybuilder,’ Illia Golem, died suddenly after suffering from a heart attack.

Over the years, there has been an influx in deaths surrounding performing-enhancing drugs, which has left the fitness and bodybuilding communities calling for change. Additionally, several athletes have issued warnings to the younger generation about the dark side of steroids, including seven-time Mr. Olympia champion Phil Heath as well as bodybuilding legend Lee Haney

It is with great sadness that another young life has ended due to a heart attack. Jaxon Tippet was a beloved fitness influencer, son, father, and so much more. With the continuous rise of PED-related deaths, you can’t help but wonder if there needs to be reform within the industry to not only protect athletes but educate the general population to prevent further deaths. 

We at Fitness Volt extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Jaxon Tippet during this incredibly difficult time.
