What we do is
absolutely different.
We're a community gym in Teaneck, NJ — three facilities on one block: a boxing gym, a Pilates studio, and Pulse, our cardio and TRX studio. Every program, in every space, is held to the same standard. Don Somerville, a national-champion coach, founded the place and still runs the floor.
Don Somerville.
What we do is absolutely different.
Founder. Golden Gloves and Diamond Gloves champion. Two-time Ringside World Champion as a coach. Built Different Breed to be the gym he wished existed when he was twelve — work is real, the standard is high, the door is open. The thing that lights him up most: watching a kid headed the wrong way turn around and graduate.
Three things we won't compromise on.
Real coaching.
A coach in the ring with you, not on the side. We meet you where you are; we do not lower the bar.
Real community.
Five hundred members across boxing, Pilates, TRX, athletes, and kids. Train in a room like that and the hard days get easier.
Real standard.
You train under a championship-level staff — National Golden Gloves and Ringside World titles — and that standard carries into every program, not just the boxing floor. This isn’t stock fitness, and they won’t treat you like it is.
