John Clement – Personal Trainer in Orange County

My name is John Clement AKA D.C. I am a performance-based physique coach at the Self Made Training Facility in Orange that specializes in using athletic performance to achieve your dream aesthetics.

Before high school, I had never touched a weight in my life. One day in PE class, I found myself struggling to press a 65lb bench. What looked simple for others felt nearly impossible for me. I was humiliated, defeated, and forced to face my own inadequacies. In that moment, I made a promise to myself: I would never feel or look weak again.

I immediately committed to training 5 days a week. I followed those stronger and more aesthetic than me, soaking up everything I could. Progress wasn’t instant, but by my junior year, I had become a whole new person. Even then, I wanted more—if I saw someone stronger or in better shape, it fueled me to improve. That drive to be better than I was yesterday became part of who I am.

Fast forward 12 years: I walked into Self Made Training Facility in Orange and began my journey as a coach. Training others was a whole new challenge. I wasn’t content with simply knowing how to train myself—I became obsessed with learning everything I could to help others succeed. I absorbed knowledge like a sponge, learning from elite coaches, reading, watching educational content, and earning my certifications. I pushed myself to become not just a coach but one of the strongest and most skilled trainers in the gym.

Today, I channel everything I’ve learned into helping my clients. My mission is clear:

• Build strength and confidence so you never feel weak again.
• Improve aesthetics and performance so you feel as good as you look.
• Create a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that transforms your body and mindset.

I believe we all have an inner athlete inside us—sometimes we just need someone to show us how to unleash it. I know what it’s like to feel small, weak, or stuck, and I don’t want anyone else to feel that way. Over the last 3 years, I’ve helped hundreds of individuals transform their bodies, improve their health, and step into their strongest, most confident selves.
