Real Anime Training is Changing

Hey, guys!

So, for a long time, Real Anime Training was a completely free website. We didn’t sell training programs or fitness consultations or anything like that. All we did was post workouts and write fitness articles. The original goal of the blog was to inspire and teach and help people and I really did not want that kind of thing to be limited by someone’s ability to buy things.

However, there are these things called bills.

Due to staggering financial crisis that is adulthood, I started offering Personalized Training Programs and (more recently) pre-made Character Training Programs. This was moderately helpful, but was truthfully a little frustrating for me, because it made me feel like I was not able to help people who needed help. I also do not want to feel like I’m constantly selling things to people.

I felt a strong conviction from God (ALERT: Religious Content) that I needed to bring the site back to its roots, both for the sake of people who needed help and for my own sanity. As such, Real Anime Training will no longer be selling training programs, pre-made or personalized, but will be instead making them available upon request. This may take a little longer than normal, but the upside is that the training programs, once made, will be available to everyone.

I’m gonna move in the direction I feel God is moving me. Thus, Real Anime Training will return to being free. If you feel led to donate to our cause, by all means, please do so. The more our readers donate, the easier it will be for me to put out content instead of, you know, working more hours.

Last month, between the main blog and Tumblr alone, over 150,000 people benefited from Real Anime Training workouts and content. At bare minimum, if 1% of those people donated just $1/month, I’d be able to start blogging full time– putting out content on a daily basis, meaning workouts and articlesand videos and answering questions, while simultaneously being able to build and post training programs for free. (For those of you who have moral objections to math, that’s $1,500/month that we would need donated for me to be able to blog full time.)

So, as of today, whether or not anybody actually donates, we’ll be taking down our training program page. I want to be here for YOU. I want to help as many people as I can and I cannot do that in the way that I would like if I am constantly concerned with whether or not you can pay me for it. If you want to donate, please do. You can donate with our PayPal “Donate” button at realanimetraining.com or on Real Anime Training’s Tumblr. Donate one time or set up a recurring monthly donation. Either way, you can be sure that you are supporting better content all the time that is focused on helping and inspiring people in their fitness journeys.

I will keep you guys updated on our donations and what we’re doing. If we start receiving a slew of donations that goes above and beyond our current needs as a website and my personal needs, I have some really great ideas on expanding the free services that we will provide, the first of which is bringing on a certain someone as a full-time writer, video-maker, and trainer. I’ll let you guys argue amongst yourselves about who that certain someone is. :D
