into greatness. Become a different breed.
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.
