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

Don Somerville.

What we do is absolutely different.

Don studied his older brother boxing as a kid, then watched Ali tapes and ran 8 miles before training another two hours. That work ethic led to state and national titles as an athlete, and to 2017 National Golden Gloves and 2018 and 2019 USA national champion as a coach. The thing that lights him up most: watching someone walk in average, not believing or understanding what they can do, and become elite, all while creating a lifestyle change that lasts.

After over 3 years of showing up I can say without a doubt the coaches and community will bring out the best version of yourself. Everyone really wants you to get better. When I first came in I couldn’t even jump rope and today I started blue collar boxing camp. The coaches always inspire you to push yourself, camp has been no exception and I love it. Highly recommend anybody to join the culture here to be in their best shape.

★★★★★ Exceptional Gym Experience - Highly Recommend! I've been a member here for a few months and can honestly say this place exceeds expectations in every way. What sets this gym apart is the incredible diversity of training approaches and specialties - whether you're into Powerlifting, Pilates, TRX, Running, CrossFit, Boxing or just getting started on your fitness journey, there's expertise here for every "breed" of fitness enthusiast. The staff is absolutely phenomenal. Every trainer (CJ, Cas, Michelle, Carlos, Aadam, Chad and Pablo) I've worked with has been genuinely invested in helping me reach my goals. They don't just go through the motions - they take time to understand what you want to achieve and create personalized plans that actually work. The front desk team remembers your name and always greets you with a smile. Cleanliness is clearly a top priority here. Equipment is consistently sanitized, locker rooms are spotless, and I've never seen trash lying around. It's obvious they take pride in maintaining a pristine environment. But what really makes this place special is the atmosphere. There's this amazing positive energy that just motivates you the moment you walk in. Members support each other, trainers celebrate your wins (no matter how small), and there's zero judgment - just pure encouragement. It's the kind of place that makes you actually look forward to working out. If you're looking for a gym that combines top-notch facilities with genuine care for their members, this is it. Worth every penny!
