John DeFendis, the former Mr. USA, is a man of grit and perseverance. He is well-known among gym-going Floridians, as a leading fitness coach. DeFendis entered the bodybuilding arena with a dream to achieve the Mr. USA title, back in 1978. He realized his goal only after 10 years of determination and struggle as he claimed the Mr. USA title in 1988. After four decades in the bodybuilding arena, the 65-year-old is today defying aging norms and lifting weights similar to his younger self.

DeFendis was inspired by Dave Draper after reading an article on him and resolved to claim the Mr. USA title one day

“The most exciting moments and the moments that I will remember most though are the monumental moments in the gym – the “survive or be killed” moments that I spent training with the great Champion, Steve Michalik,” says DeFendis.

Still fit at 65, DeFendis is one of Florida's most famous fitness gurus

DeFendis was awarded Florida’s Personal Trainer of the Year Award successively for 9 years from 2010 to 2019.
