8 Weeks | Glute Focused | Progressive Overload | Gym Based

This 8-week gym based program is designed to build strong, round glutes while sculpting your entire body through intentional strength training. You’ll train your lower body 3 times per week to maximize glute growth, while 2 upper body sessions will strengthen and define your back, shoulders, arms, and core for a balanced, feminine physique. Every workout is built around the principles of hypertrophy and progressive overload, helping you become stronger week after week.

What to Expect

You’ll begin each lower body session with a glute activation circuit to improve your mind to muscle connection and ensure your glutes are firing before every lift. The program combines 4 gym based strength workouts with 2 home based sessions, giving you the perfect balance of heavy lifting, mobility, and recovery. A dedicated mobility session at the end of each week helps improve flexibility, reduce soreness, and prepare your body for the week ahead. This program is designed to be your go to gym routine, providing a sustainable structure you can follow year round. The key to success is showing up consistently, focusing on proper form, and gradually increasing the challenge as you get stronger.

About Maria Teixeira

Women's Fitness & Nutrition Coach

I help women sculpt strong bodies and build lasting confidence through intentional strength training, pilates, hormone supportive nutrition, and mindset work that actually works. I didn’t grow up playing sports and never saw myself as athletic, let alone someone who would turn fitness into a career. But 9 years ago, everything changed when I began my own journey. Through strength training, Pilates, and hormone supportive nutrition, I discovered that real, lasting change doesn’t come from punishing your body but instead it comes from supporting it. That’s when I developed my signature Strength x Pilates method, blending resistance training with controlled, mindful movement to sculpt strong glutes, define the upper body, and strengthen the core. I pair this with my 2-1 Method to grow glutes: two days of strength glute focused training followed by one Pilates glutes session to promote growth, mobility, and recovery. Movement is only one piece of the puzzle. I also teach women how to fuel their bodies with whole, nutrient dense foods that support healthy hormones, balanced blood sugar, energy, and long term vitality. I do this without gimmicks and no crash diets. My approach is about building strength from the inside out, empowering women to feel confident, capable, and deeply connected to their bodies. Over the years, I’ve guided hundreds of women through their own transformations, helping them sculpt strong physiques and build lasting confidence, not just in the gym, but in life. My mission is simple: to empower women to train smarter, fuel better, and move with intention so they can thrive in strong, balanced bodies they love. Let’s build the vibrant and confident life you deserve one step at a time ✨
