Help Alan Vandiver and Ashley Smith Achieve Their Dreams of Becoming Certified Personal Trainers!

Hi Everyone,

We're Alan and Ashley, two dedicated fitness enthusiasts on a journey to become NASM-certified personal trainers. Fitness is our passion, and we believe in its power to change lives. Our mission is simple but impactful: we want to help others lead healthier, happier lives, particularly those who feel limited by circumstances or resources.

After saving and working hard to pay for our courses, life threw us some unexpected financial challenges, requiring us to divert funds toward essential bills. Now, we’re reaching out to ask for a little help to cover the remaining $1,200 each needed for our NASM certification courses.

Why This Matters

With NASM certification, we can gain the knowledge, skills, and credibility to serve others, especially those who may not have access to quality fitness resources. By contributing to our campaign, you’ll not only be helping us reach our goals but also helping us "pay it forward." We are committed to using our skills to give back to the community through free workshops and affordable training sessions.

How You Can Help

We’re hoping to raise $2,400 in total ($1,200 each) to complete our certification courses. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. To show our appreciation and as part of our “Pay It Forward” promise, we’ll offer:

  • Free Community Fitness Classes: Once certified, we'll hold free classes in our local community for all fitness levels.
  • Special Access to Content and Resources: Our supporters will receive access to fitness resources and wellness tips we develop along the way.
  • Paying It Forward: In the future, we plan to help others facing financial barriers who want to pursue a career in fitness.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Journey

We are immensely grateful for any support, whether through donations or sharing our story. Your kindness will have a lasting impact, enabling us to turn our dream into a reality and giving us the chance to empower others to pursue healthier lives.

Thank you so much for considering supporting our campaign. Together, we can create a ripple effect of positive change!

With gratitude,
Alan Vandiver & Ashley Smith
