Joe Borelli 

Head Coach 

Meet Joe:

Joe was born and raised in West Springfield, Massachusetts, and he still calls it home today. He is all about family, fitness, faith and service with an extra focus on progress over perfection. Joe currently works at a high-level charter school. In addition to being a trainer at Catch, Joe also is a personal trainer and lifestyle coach. His focus is on how he can uplift and improve the lives of those around him.

Joe has an undergraduate degree in Movement Science/ Physical Education and a Master’s degree in Special Education. Joe has played competitive sports his entire life. In high school, he played soccer, track,
swimming and lacrosse. In college, he played varsity soccer for Holyoke Community College and Westfield State College. He did have a small stint on the team called the Springfield Legends, a semi-professional indoor soccer team. After soccer had finished, he continued to look for new challenges as he joined boxing and wrestling clubs, helped area college teams during in season practice, and coached high school sports teams. 

After a serious health issue, a change in jobs and passing of 2 very close family members over a decade ago – Joe found himself out of shape and unhealthy for the first time in his life with a negative mindset. He made a decision that he was not going to continue this way. Joe rediscovered his passion for fitness and started on a new journey. With this revitalized outlook, he soon realized that there are many similarities to life, education and fitness. He understood that there has to be a lifestyle approach to it all and all things intertwine. Along the way and a renewed mindset about life that came with his journey, he realized that many people may need help with their own journey in life.

Tyler Rossman

Coach

Meet Tyler:

Meet Tyler, a Minnesota native and lifelong Vikings fan, grew up immersed in sports, with a particular focus on football, wrestling and track-and-field. While attending college in Vermont, he explained his athletic pursuits to include futsal, quidditch, volleyball, bouldering,
snowboarding, and water polo. His college years were marking by a major shift from sprinting to distance running, leading to his first half-marathon in Hyannis, Massachusetts. However, his time at college also brought an unexpected challenge as he battled bulimia for over three years, which significantly impacted his life. After graduating in 2016, Tyler returned to Minnesota and entered treatment where he learned how to build a healthier relationship with food and exercise. It was during this period of recovery that he discovered CrossFit, starting with the iconic workout “Fran”. This experience, coupled with counseling, allowed him to transform physically and mentally which ultimately lead him to accept and love himself for the first time. Inspired by his own journey, Tyler earned his Level-1 in 2017 (currently a Level-3) and began his coaching career. He has expanded his expertise across various roles including Performance Coach, Personal Trainer and a Strength and Conditioning Coach. Tyler moved back to the area to create a life with his girlfriend whom he lives with along with two adorable cats. In addition to coaching at CrossFit Catch, he serves as a Youth Soccer Coach and Personal Trainer, along with running a photography/videography business. His impressive portfolio includes work for high-profile events like the CrossFit Games, and brands such as RPM Training Co. and Buttery Bros., showcasing his versatility and passion in both fitness and creative fields.
