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.

As a sports and entertainment law attorney with over 30 years of experience representing elite professional fighters, world-class athletes, and global music stars, I know what top-tier performance, real discipline, and high-level training look like. I don’t just give my full endorsement to Don Somerville and Different Breed—I train here myself. Don Somerville has built something truly extraordinary. From the moment you step into the facility, you immediately notice the impeccably clean, organized, and harmonious atmosphere. The environment sets the gold standard for what a fitness center should be: modern, welcoming, and operating with absolute professionalism. The coaching at Different Breed is second to none. Don and his team offer exceptionally knowledgeable instruction with classes that are meticulously structured. They manage to strike the perfect balance—delivering high-energy, intense workouts that push your limits while remaining incredibly supportive and beginner-friendly for anyone just starting their journey. Whether your goal is basic everyday fitness or high-level conditioning, the programming delivers real, noticeable results. Beyond the top-notch equipment and premier coaching, the standout feature is the culture. Different Breed is not just a place to work out; it is a thriving, positive community of people inspiring one another every single day. Don Somerville is a master of his craft, a visionary manager, and an elite coach. If you are serious about your health, fitness, and surrounding yourself with the best, this is where you need to be. A absolute 5-out-of-5 star facility!

I went to 4 boxing gyms including this one. The best gym i went to was Webb fitness in south jersey until i came here. Honestly no sugar coat, this is the best gym I've exoerienced. The coaches are passionate enthusiastic and fun. They put you to work. They do not call it different breed for nothing .Come in as a beginner clueless how to box and evolve to a fighter. No judgement. Everybody is like family. We push each other and point our flaws. We work together. Very positive vibes. They have a nice ring, bags, heavy bags, speed bags, treadmills, stair masters, ladder machine, weighted sled, 60 lbs adjustable weighted vest, dumbbells. They have an iscan Machine that takes your weight, your body fat percentage, all this scientific shit. Price memberships from $60 to 250 for all the classes they have Pilates, TRX strength and conditioning, etc. This place is loaded. People of all ages, beautiful women. Places to real deal and they have Blue collar boxing tournament that I’m currently doing right now and it has been phenomenal experience so far. If you’re looking for a gym to call home This is the spot. The only problem I have, which is not even the gym fault is that it’s kind of far and it takes a toll on gas But It’s really is worth it.

I’ve been going to this gym for years, and the community here is truly unmatched! It’s the kind of place that makes you actually look forward to going to the gym and motivates you to push yourself and keep improving. The people really make all the difference! The gym is always clean, has great hours, and the staff are all incredibly personable and welcoming. I’ve had the opportunity to work with numerous trainers here over the years, and they’ve all been a pleasure to work with. They take the time to listen to your goals and concerns and adjust your fitness program to meet your individual needs. What really sets this gym apart is the overall atmosphere. It’s more than just a place to work out; it’s a community that keeps you motivated, supported, and coming back. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gym with great people, great trainers, and an environment that genuinely makes you want to show up and put in the work!

As the CEO of Conception Sports & Entertainment, I’ve spent decades around professional athletes, elite fighters, entertainers, and high-performance environments. I’ve seen firsthand what separates an average training facility from one that truly understands performance—and Different Breed stands out. What makes this place special starts with Don Somerville. He has created a facility that is exceptionally well-run, spotless, professional, and welcoming. But what really sets Different Breed apart is the combination of expert coaching, intelligently designed workouts, and an atmosphere that makes you genuinely want to keep coming back. I train here myself, and that says a lot. The workouts are challenging without being intimidating, and Don and his team know how to push you while still meeting you where you are. Whether you’re an experienced athlete looking to elevate your conditioning or someone simply trying to become stronger and healthier, the programming works. But for me, the biggest differentiator is the culture. There is a real sense of community here. People encourage each other, the coaches are invested in their members, and everyone walks through the door with the same goal of becoming a better version of themselves. Don is exceptional at what he does. His passion, attention to detail, leadership, and understanding of fitness and performance are evident in every aspect of Different Breed. I’ve worked with some of the best in the sports and entertainment world, and I can confidently say that Different Breed belongs in that conversation. If you’re looking for a facility where professionalism, training, results, and community come together, I highly recommend checking it out. 5 stars without question!
