Joey Borelli

Coach

CrossFit Level 1 Coach

Joey started CrossFit to try something new. “I was tired and bored of the regular gym routine. Once I walked into 405 I was hooked. I saw it as a way to compete again since I have grown up playing soccer and basketball. After that first class that I took in the heat of the summer, I was sweating from head to toe, breathing heavy and knew I had to come back for more.” That was 3 years ago. Now, CrossFit means more to Joey than just a workout. “ It's my stress reliever, it's my home away from home.“ Joey’s passion for coaching starts with his drive to help teach and motivate everyone on a daily basis. “I enjoy seeing results of every member who steps in the gym. Coaching is very rewarding now that I am helping develop our clients her at CrossFit 405.” Joey has competed in several local CrossFit events over the years and has now turned to running CrossFit events and judging over the past few years as well. Look for him to be leading the judges group at most local events her in OKC.

Ore Adesina

Assistant Coach | Photography

• CrossFit Level 1 Coach
• USAW Sports Performance Coach

Looking for something that required more engagement and more of a challenge than the group exercise classes offered at her local gym, Ore started researching different exercise methodologies. She learned about CrossFit from her research, and took the plunge in 2012 by joining a local CrossFit gym near her home. She eventually ended up at CrossFit 405. She loves the knowledgeable staff, close knit community and workouts that get her out of her comfort zone and provide lasting results. After 3 years as a member, she wanted to take the knowledge that she had learned over the years to help others achieve their goals, and obtained her Level 1 CrossFit Certification in 2014. Ore has competed in local competitions, but her real passions are powerlifting and weightlifting. Ore hopes to share her passion for CrossFit and lifting heavy things with others. You can usually find her near the squat rack or with a barbell and plates practicing Olympic lifts. Ore also has a passion for photography, so you will see her behind a camera, taking action shots of our CrossFit 405 members during workouts. When she is not at the gym, she is keeping our fitness community in the know as our social media director and whipping up delicious recipes for her clean eating blog Bacon Wrapped Barbells (http://bacon-wrappedbarbells.com).
