Evolve into greatness.

We're a community gym on one Teaneck block — three spaces: a boxing gym, a Pilates studio, and Pulse, our cardio and TRX studio. Our coaches are national champions, and they get on the floor with you, not watch from the side. Come see what that feels like.

Don Somerville, founder and head coach of Different Breed Elite Fitness
The coach

Don Somerville.

What we do is absolutely different.

Don beat his older brother boxing as a kid, then watched Ali tape and ran 8 miles before training another two hours. State and national titles as an athlete. 2017 National Golden Gloves and 2018 USA national champion as a coach. The thing that lights him up most: watching a kid headed the wrong way turn around and graduate.

Don will out-work you, then out-work you again. Walked in soft, walking out a different person. The community here is the real thing.

Took the Women Lace Up class on a whim. Best thing I've done this year. No ego in the room — just real coaching and people cheering you on.

Brought my 12-year-old for the youth program. He stands up straighter, talks differently, runs to the gym now. They didn't just train him, they reached him.
