LEVEL UP YOUR TRAINING

You’ll train the lower body twice per week with challenging, glute-focused workouts that lift, round, and shape. The upper body is trained twice per week, each session finishing with a deep core series to strengthen your midsection and define your abs. To turn up the intensity, you’ll also get a bonus short and spicy core workout each week to sculpt and sharpen your core even more. This program is efficient, sustainable, and results-driven. You’ll progress by improving your form, dialing in your tempo, and gradually increasing the resistance you lift. In just 8 weeks, you’ll feel stronger, more toned, and more connected to your body.
  • 4 Day Split + 1 Core Session (glute targeted lower body, upper body, core)
  • Glute-Focused Programming: Target and activate your glutes with intention — no gym required
  • Progressive Overload Schedule Built-in
  • Upper Body + Abs Finishers (3 brutal exercises per day)
  • Walking Protocol (30-60 minutes per day, built in)
  • Intensity Techniques: supersets, tempo, mind to muscle connection

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 ✨
