I joined Different Breed to get back into shape for a upcoming snowboarding trip to Aspen. At age 42, I was looking forward to getting back to the sport after a seven year hiatus. I had suffered two devastating knee injuries, requiring reconstructive surgery, bone fragmentation removal and a car accident that sidelined me with a multi meniscus tears, broken ribs, organ prolapse, spinal damage, and a concussion. The car accident left me hospitalized and bed ridden. Over the next few months I lost over 35 pounds. My inability to move lead to muscle atrophy, a loss of muscle mass finding myself weighing 115 pounds. I had worked out on my own and had some gains but it wasnât until joining Different Breed, doing the group classes and one on one personal training with Coach Don that I had noticed a transformation in my body and my athletic ability. I am stronger and faster than I was in my twenties and have exceeded my level of fitness before the car accident and injuries. I am performing to the best of my abilities, my emotional and mental landscape has also benefited from this transformation. The community at Different Breed is unparalleled, so supportive and welcoming. The trainers are geared to take an average individual to elite performance capabilities. Different Breed has become a second home for not only myself but also my wife and our son. We train here as a family, and as a family we have become stronger. We love and look forward to each time we walk...

The moment I walked in to Different Breed, I immediately knew in my heart that this was the training that would take us to a different level in our lives. Together with my husband and my son, we committed to three months of training. Within just a couple weeks, we both noticed that we were becoming stronger and more resilient, not just in our bodies but in our minds and in our spirits. I was catching myself during my day where I could be more structured, more integrous and more mindful.
We both worked with Don one-on-one along with our group classes and found transformational results. He truly believed in us, he saw the powerhouses that we could become. Like Bruce Lee once quoted, Don is âthe unforgiving master who pushes you beyond your limits, not because he hates you, but because he can see your true potential.â Every session Don pushed us to our greatest limits, pushing our bodies and our minds to new boundaries. He helped transform us to be the BEST BREED of ourselves.
Two and half months in, my body has become stronger, beautiful and limber. But what is even better than that, is that my mind and my spirit has become more strong, flexible, resilient and beautiful. And so has my husbandâs! As a result our marriage, life and our child are all...
   Read moreI came to this place looking for guidance a direction im gonna be 60 years old next year so I was a bit scared. Spoke to Don the owner he told me about the gym but what got me was his dream of helping people achieve their goals, yes the place has high tech machinery the best there is but for me it's Don and his staff these people care about you and want you to succeed you can asks any question or help using a machine and they attend to you asap. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful but mostly very good people genuine 100% genuine people who care. I've made friends here the cliental are also good people no thugs we help each other as well. This place is beautiful. I enrolled in the competitive package which allowed me to take 8 boxing classes a month. I loved it so much I upgraded to the Different Breed package which allowed unlimited classes and total use of the facilities. ONE OF THE SMARTEST AND EASIEST DECISIONS IVE EVER MADE!. I've missed 2 classes since November 15th, Thanksgiving and my job holiday party i don't like missing classes i feel like I let myself down. I've also decided to take 2 or 3 days rest a week as recommended by the staff I get it again looking out for me. I love this place and i know they love me. Again if you're thinking about it just do it you won't regret it especially at my age 59 and I'm feeling so much better now.. They will help you.
