The Story of
High Chi Fitness
Infinite Potential
CHAPTER 1
Roots in Rhythm
Andre (Drey) Zemnovich grew up in the cultural melting pot of New York City, dancing through life with the ecstasy of Reggae, Rap, R&B, and Rock & Roll. A natural creative, Drey gravitated to all walks of life: “From the ravers to the seers of visions, to the painters, pipers, prisoners, and shiners,” he saw brilliance in every facet of the human mosaic. His worldview, captured in his quote, “Visionaries find beauty in flaws; idiots find flaws in beauties,” became a guiding principle for his journey.
​
But while his creative soul soared, his day job as a fitness coach began to blossom. Early on, Drey discovered a passion for helping people align their physical and mental selves. Even then, he was experimenting with blending fitness with the meditative arts, unknowingly planting the seeds for High∞Chi Fitness.
Mens sana in corpore sano!
A healthy body equals a healthy mind!
~ Latin Proverb
CHAPTER 2
Hitting Rock Bottom
Being in the music and nightlife industry while in his twenties, Drey, as most others, got carried away with that quintessential sex, drugs and rock n' roll zeitgeist. The lifestyle which made life exhilarating had turned into a source of pain. Drey found himself alienated, exhausted, and empty. Relationships shattered, his body deteriorated, and his mind was a fog of regret. He had to face a stark reality: the path he was on was unsustainable and destructive.
​
The fall from grace wasn’t just humbling—it was devastating. But in those dark moments, a new fire ignited. Drey saw an opportunity to rebuild—not just his career, but his entire way of life.
​
But, as the wise sages say... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
CHAPTER 3
The Journey Back to Balance
Starting from scratch, Drey embraced a new philosophy: balance, moderation, and zen. He immersed himself in the teachings of masters across disciplines. From the fluid grace of Tai Chi and Qigong to the grounding wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, from breathwork to meditation, Drey found strength and clarity.
​
These ancient practices, combined with cutting-edge science and wellness advancements, gave him the tools not only to rebuild his life but to transform it. What began as personal healing grew into a mission: helping others achieve harmony in their own bodies and minds.
​
CHAPTER 4
The Birth of High Chi Fitness
With renewed purpose, Drey created High Chi Fitness,
a program that embodies the perfect blend of ancient Eastern martial arts discipline and modern health science.
This wasn’t just about lifting weights or running laps—it was about a holistic transformation of the body, mind, and spirit.​
​
High∞Chi Fitness quickly became a sanctuary for clients seeking more than just fitness. It offered a roadmap to vitality, focus, and resilience. Professional athletes, fitness experts, and everyday individuals found themselves leveling up in ways they never imagined.
​
During the COVID lockdown, Drey shifted a significant part of his work online, reaching thousands of followers and keeping them motivated, fit, and smiling. Through memes, dozens of hours of complimentary Zoom sessions focused on fitness, breathwork, and meditation, Drey fostered a sense of community—on Facebook and beyond.
