About Adam Macke
Adam Macke (pronounced "Mackey") is a climbing trainer out of Chattanooga, TN. He works with people out of High Point Climbing and Fitness, which is a pretty new gym downtown. Adam has been personal training people since the early 2000's, and uses weight training and Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) to unlock climbers' potential. He's also a climber of 8 years himself.
His methods with people in training for climbing are quite different than other trainers, so our conversation was pretty interesting and out of the box.
To find out more about him, go to www.mackefit.com.
