John Clement – Athletic Performance Specialist

I’m John Clement—better known as D.C.—an athletic development specialist based at Self Made Training Facility in Orange. I specialize in strength and conditioning, speed and agility, power development, powerlifting, corrective exercise, pain management, and total athletic performance.

My training helps clients not only build their dream physique through athletic performance, but also develop elite-level athleticism—whether you’re an adult trying to unlock your inner athlete, or a youth athlete chasing a D1 future.

But I didn’t start here. In high school, I couldn’t even bench 65 lbs. I was decently athletic but far from elite. I failed more times than I can count in my pursuit of becoming a better athlete. I was skinny, underpowered, and often overlooked. But I committed to the grind. I trained relentlessly to build strength, speed, explosiveness, and confidence. Today, I’ve become one of the strongest, most explosive coaches in the area—and now I help others do the same.

Everything I’ve learned, I now channel into my clients.
My mission is simple:

• Build strength and confidence so you never feel weak again
• Improve performance and aesthetics so you look and move like an athlete
• Create sustainable habits that transform your body and mindset for life

I believe we all have an inner athlete inside of us—sometimes we just need the right guide to bring it out.

Youth Athlete Development

I’ve worked with athletes ages 7–18 from sports like football, soccer, hockey, wrestling, and basketball. My program develops:
• Speed
• Explosiveness
• Strength
• Mental toughness

Many of my youth athletes have gone on to compete at D1 and D2 collegiate programs, thanks to a proven system that blends performance, mentorship, and mindset. I don’t just coach—I develop competitors on and off the field.

If this story resonates with you, let’s work together. Whether you’re ready to become your strongest self or you have a young athlete who’s hungry to compete at the next level, send me a message.

It’s time to release your inner athlete—because you’re stronger than you think.
