\n\n\nAbout\xa0Adam Macke\n
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.
\nHis methods with people in training for climbing are quite different than other trainers, so our conversation was pretty interesting and out of the box.
