Made Possible Personal Training Celebrates 8-Year Anniversary with Community Event, Raising $3,775 for Local Animal Rescue

St. Petersburg, FL – Made Possible Personal Training (MPPT) celebrated its 8-year anniversary this past weekend with a community-driven celebration that brought together over 90 members, friends, and supporters for an afternoon of food, drinks, and shuffleboard—all while fundraising $3,775 for Safe Paws Animal Rescue.

Held at the St. Pete Shuffleboard Club on a beautiful 70-degree sunny day, the event was more than just a party; it was a testament to the strength of the MPPT community and the power of local businesses supporting one another. Over the years, MPPT has helped clients achieve life-changing fitness and health goals, and the anniversary gathering reflected its deeper mission of fostering connection, encouragement, and positive change.

“We started as a small personal training business, and over the past eight years, we’ve grown into something much more meaningful—a true community,” said Heather Lachance, Co-owner of MPPT. “Our members come here to get stronger, but they also find encouragement, accountability, knowledge and friendships. To see everyone come together, meet new people, and support a great cause was incredible.”

The success of the event was made possible by 37 generous local businesses that donated raffle baskets, helping to raise funds for Safe Paws Animal Rescue, a nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need. Businesses such as Casita Taqueria, Rollin’ Oats, Imagine Museum, Vertical Ventures, Mazzaro’s Italian Market, and many more contributed to the effort.

“We are beyond grateful for the generosity of St. Pete’s small business community,” added Roger Montenegro, MPPTs other Co-Owner. “Their support made this milestone even more special, and we encourage everyone to give back to them the way they’ve given back to us.”

Made Possible PT hosts a major celebration every other year, bringing together its fitness community and local supporters. Any business interested in being part of future events can reach out via info@madepossiblept.com
