Memduh began his sportive career at an early age when restlessness had him leaping from household furniture and climbing up door frames. When he finally slowed down, he loved nothing better than studying the movements of animals and imagining the outdoors as a magnificent playground. That humble beginning expanded into a lifelong journey of study and exploration of the human body and its capabilities.

Memduh’s educational background includes a degree in Sports Education from Celal Bayer University in Turkey where he also dabbled in bodybuilding and powerlifting. He has worked as a Senior strength and conditioning coach/PT for Izmir’s Sports International and Istanbul’s MAC sports clubs. In Turkey, he was a trusted colleague to countless international sports educators as their translator and confidante.

Memduh has trained youth tennis teams, professional dancers, and volleyball and basketball players, most notably as Assistant Coach to Turkey’s National Women’s Basketball team. He has, through safe, consistent, and progressive work improved the diagnosis and symptoms of clients with diabetes, Alzheimer's, and crippling low back pain. Memduh has also worked in Vermont, USA training professional and semi-professional snowboarders.

He stumbled on CrossFit by one of his clients saying “I saw some guys training crazy like you” and direct him to CrossFit.com. The rest is history.

Memduh was one of the first certified Level 1 CrossFit trainers in Turkey and happily contributed to the development of the first “box”.

People are infectiously moved by Memduh’s smiling and good-hearted nature. He’s always respectful, helpful, listens, and is easy to talk to. His high work ethic and curiosity drives him to constantly study, question, and seek out the latest information for the best method of functional training. Memduh is energetic, highly motivating and strives to safely push you out of your comfort zone making you stronger for all areas of your life.
