Talking Sports And Fitness With Zeke

Chris Emkey, a former professional tour tennis player from Berks County, tells Zeke his story as a fitness trainer who now is a partner and director of training for ETCHFIT Athlete Training and Management Systems, which trains elite athletes on the high school, academy, college and professional levels in a variety of sports in locations across the country. “When I played Division I college tennis at Charleston, went on the pro tennis satellite tour, and then my family owned the West Side Tennis Club, I got to be around a lot of really good strength and conditioning coaches,” says Emkey. “I took the opportunity to go into training as I was inspired by other trainers. “I partnered with Pat Etchberry, the iconic strength and conditioning coach in the world, and we take training to different markets to expose the model to other people.” continues Emkey. “We thoroughly evaluate a client and then create a program specifically to them.”
