Scott Panchik, owner of CrossFit Mentality, takes on Fran — 21-15-9 reps of thrusters and pull-ups — flowing straight into backward Diane — 9-15-21 reps of handstand push-ups and deadlifts. The goal? Beat the time he posted in 2012.
A 12-time CrossFit Games athlete fresh off a second-place finish in the Men’s 35-39 division at the 2026 Masters CrossFit Games, Panchik is proof that age doesn’t have to mean slowing down. If anything, it’s a reminder that fitness isn’t a young person’s game — with the right training, consistency, and mindset, you can keep getting fitter well into your 30s, 40s, and beyond.
