Mehmet Gurtin is a corporate professional, dedicated father and husband, and just recently, a competitive CrossFitter. They say that old dogs can learn new tricks.

And what better a stage than the 2024 Asia Fitness Championships? Chris talks to Mems about his athletic journey through figure skating, football, and functional fitness, his goals at the biggest stage of his CrossFit career, and how being a father keeps him grounded. If you’ve convinced yourself that you’re too old to give competition a try, Mems will convince you otherwise!
