Terms & Conditions / Assumption of Risk Agreement

By purchasing or participating in any custom training plan or one-on-one coaching services provided by Mario Duenas and/or Rio Performance LLC (“Coach”), the client understands and agrees that physical exercise and training involve inherent risks. These risks may include, but are not limited to, muscle strains, joint injuries, overuse injuries, cardiovascular events, illness, or, in rare cases, serious injury or death. By choosing to participate, the client voluntarily assumes full responsibility for all risks associated with training.

The client agrees to release, waive, and hold harmless Mario Duenas and Rio Performance LLC from any and all claims, injuries, damages, losses, or liabilities that may arise from participation in training or use of any provided programs, whether training is performed in a gym, at home, outdoors, or in any other environment.

The client confirms that they are physically capable of participating in exercise and have no medical conditions that would prevent safe participation, or that they have received clearance from a licensed physician. The client agrees to disclose all relevant medical conditions, injuries, medications, or physical limitations before starting and throughout the duration of the program.

The client understands that Mario Duenas is not a physician, physical therapist, or registered dietitian. All training and nutrition information provided is for general fitness, performance, and educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or prescribed nutrition plans. Any nutrition guidance is limited to general lifestyle and performance education, and the client agrees to consult a qualified healthcare professional for any medical or nutritional concerns.

The client accepts full responsibility for performing exercises safely, using proper form, choosing appropriate weights, and training within their personal limits. The client agrees to stop exercising immediately and seek appropriate help if they experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any unusual or concerning symptoms.

The client understands that results are not guaranteed. Individual results may vary based on factors such as effort, consistency, recovery, nutrition, lifestyle, genetics, and adherence to the program. No specific outcomes related to weight loss, muscle gain, performance improvements, or race results are promised or implied.

All training plans, programs, and coaching materials are the intellectual property of Mario Duenas and Rio Performance LLC and are provided for the client’s personal use only. These materials may not be shared, copied, distributed, or resold in any form.

All sales are final. No refunds will be issued once a custom plan has been delivered or coaching services have begun, except at the sole discretion of the Coach. One-on-one coaching is billed according to the agreed-upon schedule. Missed check-ins, delayed communication, or lack of adherence by the client do not qualify for refunds, credits, or service extensions.

Coaching communication, response times, and scope of services depend on the selected package and may include scheduled check-ins, feedback, and program adjustments. Coaching does not include emergency services.

Mario Duenas and Rio Performance LLC reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate services at any time if the client engages in unsafe behavior, provides false or incomplete health information, or acts in a disrespectful or abusive manner. In such cases, refunds are not guaranteed.

This agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state in which Rio Performance LLC operates.

By purchasing a service, signing electronically, or checking the agreement box at checkout, the client confirms that they have read, understood, and voluntarily agree to all terms and conditions outlined above.

The client accepts full responsibility for proper exercise execution, environment safety, and equipment use when training independently. Coaching services do not include emergency care, medical services, or mental health counseling. In case of emergency, the client should contact local emergency services. The client agrees not to initiate chargebacks or payment disputes for services already delivered, and understands that failure to complete payment may result in suspension or termination of services. Training programs may be adjusted or modified based on client feedback, progress, availability, or safety considerations.
