""As petite women, we're told to stick to 1200 calories and only do cardio. This outdated advice prevents us from building strength and creating the body of our dreams. I transformed my shape training hard, eating high-protein and whole food meals, and shifting my mindset. Now, I want to help you do the same!""

From Maya

Maya

Welcome to Shortcake Strong — a 6-week challenge built for people under 5'4" who want to gain real strength, increase metabolism, and lose body fat without overcomplicated programming or endless cardio. The Shortcake challenges are open to people of all heights, but exercises that do not suit shorter frames are excluded so every movement feels right.

This program is specifically made for the busy shortcakes- we will be working 4 days on and 3 days off (with an optional 5th day for those who want it!). This challenge includes 2 lower body days, 2 upper body + core days, and an optional full body conditioning day.

**FOR THE AT-HOME GIRLIES: dumbbells and resistance bands (short and long) are strongly recommended

Please note that the deadline to enter for prizes has passed, but the challenge is still open to join.

This challenge focuses on:

✨ Strength training tailored to petite proportions: exercises and movement choices that target the right muscles for shorter limbs and smaller frames.

🔥 Fat loss through smart programming, not starvation: muscle-building strength work that boosts metabolism and shapes your body.

🏋🏽‍♀️ Efficient, effective workouts: no fluff. Just structured, progressive sessions designed to deliver visible, tangible results in six weeks.

💗 Confidence-building structure: clear, week-by-week plans for beginners and experienced lifters alike, so you get stronger without guessing.

🧠 Discipline, self-love, self-trust: Six weeks of showing up for yourself. Every session you finish is a promise kept, and by week 6, 'I can't' turns into 'I did.'

If you’re ready to finally follow a plan made for you, this challenge is your next step.

What’s included

✅ Workout plans with exercise, sets & reps guidance

✅ Specialized weight & rep tracking software

✅ Community feed to interact with other participants and the creator

Bonuses

✅ High Protein Meal Generator

✅ Specialized tracking for weights & reps

✅ Community feed to interact with other participants and the creator

About Maya:

Maya is a certified personal trainer with 10+ years of experience in her fitness journey. She realized first-hand how hard it can be for petites to navigate the gym, so each Shortcake Challenge is designed with petite frames in mind- because not every program is built for every body. But whether you're petite or not, Maya's challenges are made to meet you where you are and help you build strength, confidence, and healthy habits that last.

The gym workouts keep showing up despite me being in the at home tab about 3-4 workout videos in. Hard to swap between directions and log. Mistap often leads to going to next video prematurely. Unclear what reps should be repeated on both sides or if doing other side counts as double reps.

I LOVE this challenge so far. It’s making me feel like I am stronger than I thought and I can see that on week two. I am really excited just to see the progress I make and how heavy I can go as well as working on my form. This has been the best decision I’ve made for myself. I love the community sense that it brings and having people push me and also feeling like I can also encourage them. I’m so excited 🥰

Absolutely loving this challenge. The workouts are so well thought out and you can just see the amount of care and effort Maya has put into this. Personally- I am pretty average height (5’4ish) and I loved the workouts. Making it more accessible for shorter woman is even better. Would 10/10 recommend- the community is such a great way to hold yourself accountable. In love with it!!
