Growing up I loved sports and was skilled at baseball.  In High School I had the skills to go on and play college baseball but I did not have the body.  I was overweight and this really limited the amount of interest I received from colleges.   I ended up going to Junior College and while I was there I lost about 50 pounds in one year and ended up having a great season, which lead to me getting a scholarship to play Division 1 College Baseball.  After my playing career I began coaching college baseball and doing personal training part time.   

I began to research and learn as much as I could about the human body so I could better help my players perform and for my own reasons of still wanting to transform my own body.  Up until this point I had lost weight and kept it off but my body composition was still not where I wanted it to be.   Eventually what started out as working part time as a personal trainer grew into a full time business as I ventured out and started Foley Health and Fitness.   Still trying to figure out how to understand my own health and body composition I began to travel all over the country seeking out the best people I could find when it came to health and fitness.  I traveled to California, Arizona, New York, Florida, Connecticut, and Rhode Island along with continuing to read and study online.   During all of my research I learned a lot of good stuff and I began to experiment with what I was learning.  I think I have tried just about every diet and workout program out there but unfortunately most of them left me worse off in the long run.   Many of them would give me some great short term results but then they were so extreme that I could not stick with them and I would fall of the wagon, usually worse off than before.   

The other issue I had was that I saw that many of these things were not good for my health.  To make matters worse it seemed that no two gurus agreed on anything when it came to health and fitness.  They all had their own opinions one how you should eat, exercise, and keep your body healthy.   With all of this I set to create a system that was easy to follow and produced great results not only in losing fat and changing body composition but also to produce great health.   

Eventually I began to study centenarians and began to compile a document of over 100 pages that contains stories and interviews with people who lived past the age of 100.  The only thing was that I was not only looking for people who lived past the age of 100, but I was wanting to find people who 100 and still living and healthy.  I found several individuals who were extremely healthy at ages of well past 100.  Some were still doing everything they wanted to do such as skiiing or traveling and not taking any medications.   Eventually I found two individuals, one who lived to be 114 and another that lived to be 106 and what struck me about both of them is that they were extremely healthy and they both said the same thing: that everything they were doing was in the Bible.   

With this in mind I began to read my Bible front to back like a book searching for information on health and fitness.   They were right everything I was looking for was in there and I began to be able to piece together all the things I had been learning and make sense out of all the information in order to package it into one system that produces what I call Abundant Health.   

Abundant Health means you sleep well, have great energy all day, are not limited by any aches, pains, or symptoms, you are physically fit to be able to do everything you need or like to do, and your body composition is at a place where people want to know your secret.  

Eventually we began to develop our 7 Pillars of Abundant Health which are 

Mindset

Nutrition

Joint Health

Sleep and Energy

Fitness

Body Composition

Overall Health

The best part for me was that as we began to implement this system for clients not only did they start to transform their bodies and their health but they would come back in and say things like " ever since I started this I feel so much better and I have the energy to play with my kids/grandkids," or "since I started this my mental clarity is so much better and my business has grown faster than every."   We started seeing that as people were getting healthy not only were they developing Abundant Health but they were starting to have Abundant Life.
