      Questions

      Before you start

      Do I need my doctor's clearance?

      If you're recovering from an injury or surgery, managing a health condition, or starting new medications, please check with your physician first. Jacob will ask about this during your intake and is happy to work from your provider's guidance.

      Why do you ask about my medications?

      Some medications affect heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, hydration, energy and appetite. Knowing what you take lets Jacob set safe workout intensity and plan meal timing that works with your prescriptions. You only share what you're comfortable with.

      Do you work with kids and teens?

      Yes. Youth athletes train with a parent or guardian's consent and get age-appropriate programming focused on mechanics, speed, and injury prevention, either 1:1, in the Performance League, or with their team.

      How does Homeschool PE Club work?

      Classes meet on weekdays during school hours in small groups split by age. Each season you get a PE hours log and a short progress report you can add to your homeschool records or portfolio.

      Can I use my homeschool charter funds?

      Many California homeschool charters let families pay approved vendors with instructional funds. Ask your coordinator whether Mendoza Strength and Performance can be added to their vendor list, and we'll send them whatever paperwork they need.

      Can you train my child's whole team?

      Yes. Team sessions cover up to 15 athletes at your practice field, with conditioning and injury-prevention warm-ups your coaches can keep running all season.

      Do I need to sign a waiver?

      Yes. Every participant signs a liability waiver before their first session, and a parent or guardian signs for anyone under 18. You can sign it online in about five minutes.

      How do I reserve a class?

      Tap the classes you want on the schedule and send the request. Jacob confirms your spot by email or text, then you can pay online or at your first class.

      Does my company have to sign a long contract?

      No. Corporate plans run month to month, and the employee discount program costs the business nothing.

      Why is this cheaper than training at a big gym?

      There's no gym membership, enrollment fee or contract to pay for. Sessions happen at a local park, your home, your own gym or virtually, so more of what you pay goes to coaching.

      I've never worked with a trainer. Is that okay?

      Absolutely. Every plan starts with a free consult and an assessment, so you begin at the right level. No experience required.

      Can I train virtually?

      Yes. Live virtual sessions are $20 less per session, and nutrition coaching works fully online.
