Glute Growth Program V1

8 weeks | Glutes | Strength x Pilates | Progressive Overload

This carefully designed 8-week program focuses on sculpting your entire body, with special attention to building strong, round glutes. You’ll train your lower body 3 times per week to maximize glute growth, while upper body and core sessions, also 3 times per week, will define your arms, back, and abs, creating a balanced hourglass silhouette. Each workout is built around the principles of hypertrophy and progressive overload, demanding precise execution and consistent intensity.

What to Expect

Every week you’ll layer intensity: more weight, more volume, higher output. While other programs taper, this one peaks. You’ll train 6 days a week, walk everyday, and tone your core daily. I have you covered with activation to cooldown to support recovery. This program is designed to be your go to plan, providing a sustainable structure you can follow year round. The key to success lies in consistent effort and gradual progress—challenge yourself to push a little harder and improve each week.
  • Video Workouts: Follow along with clear, guided exercises to master form & build confidence
  • 6 Day Split (glute targeted lower body, upper body, core)
  • Glute-Focused Programming: Target and activate your glutes with intention — no gym required
  • 2-1 Glute Method: Train smarter with 2 strength & 1 Pilates session to grow glutes & add mobility
  • Strength x Pilates Method: Build glutes, tone upper body & core through a mix of strength & Pilates
  • Progressive Overload Schedule Built-in
  • Daily Abs Finishers (brutal exercises every day)
  • Walking Protocol (30-60 minutes per day, built in)
  • Intensity Techniques: supersets, tempo, pulses, mind to muscle connection
  • Deload Built-in to maintain performance and prevent burnout

RESULTS YOU CAN EXPECT ✔ Stronger, rounder, and lifted glutes through progressive overload and intentional training. ✔ Improved strength, stability, and control. ✔ Noticeable endurance and definition in your whole body.

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 ✨
