Faolan Dunphy
Functional Core Development
A twelve year veteran of the fitness industry, Faolan has been involved in sports since the age of three. Always being involved in casual pick-up and drop-in type sports meant that he was subject to the same on and off the wagon as the average person.
“I’ve been injured, I’ve been disinterested, I’ve even been tired of activity to the point where I just didn’t want to do it anymore. I’ve been on both sides of the fitness fence.”
After High School, he became unhealthy and dramatically overweight. “It was a time where most of my life was turned upside-down. Working all night, sleeping all day, no more social life, no exercise and the worst possible nutrition choices all led to me gaining about 60 pounds in a span of six months.”
This was the turning point, where Faolan decided to turn a fitness hobby into a career, not only a career, but a way of life. “If my physique, my health or even my sanity changed in a direction that I felt was not natural, I felt I had to correct the situation, therefore I had to educate myself. Stress, illness, even a lasting change in mood told me something was affecting me in a less than desirable way.
“I had to begin with being aware that something was affecting me, discover what it was, and then plan a course of action that would bring me closer to a balanced state.” It is with this philosophy that Faolan runs his company, his life and educates his clients.
By continuing to educate himself and educate others, he continually stays abreast of information that is current and strives to be aware of mainstream information that is dated to ensure the best possible course of action for every individual.
Life does not just happen to us. We must happen to our lives. Every choice we make every day will affect the choices we have available tomorrow. Do we make the easy choice, or the wise choice? What does the future hold for us and our loved ones except for that which we helped create?
Get fit, get healthy and get educated, so you can live life and love life!
Friends are more important than money.
