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.

Because of Boxing.

Ask anyone in this gym what boxing gave them. Then listen. These are their words, not ours.

Because of boxing, my grades have gotten better.
