Abby Solomon Malmstrom was born and raised in Meriden, CT. She always had a passion for fitness and wellness, and wanted to help as many people as possible in their search for great health. When she was 12 years old, she would furiously watch the fitness equipment infomercials on TV and beg her parents to buy them. Of course, they didn't normally give in. But luckily, Abby did not give up and has since made fitness, wellness, and nutrition her lifelong mission. That led her to attend The George Washington University in Washington, DC where she obtained both her Bachelors and Masters degrees in the field of Exercise Science. Abby focused on health and fitness, as well as exercise, nutriton, and eating behaviors.

While living in DC, Abby created numerous exercise and wellness programs, including a large scale community marathon training program. This marathon program began with a mere 10 participants, and grew to over 100 participants in just four years. Abby's professional research is in the area of running form, technique, posture, and injury prevention for distance runners, doing the first University study of the running technique, ChiRunning. Abby's dedication to her runners and clients clearly shows her passion to work WITH others. She cares first and foremost about their success in health. Abby has also created health promotion programs, worked with national marathon training programs, and is a successful group fitness instructor, wellness mentor, and private personal trainer.

Abby has traveled around the country, creating fitness programs, and teaching wellness seminars. She's helped clients in DC, Sacramento, CA, and Tucson, AZ, as well as all overseas. In 2009, Abby made Sacramento, CA her home, which is where Live For It All was launched. In 2011, Abby launched Live For It All in Columbus, Mississippi, and all live programs and trainings she provides are currently in this area. November 2011, Abby launched her large scale, online training program called, "The Trainer In Your Back Pocket" so that those living in areas of the world where Abby is NOT located, can participate in her programs via the internet!
