Maya has created a wonderful community where women support each other and cheer each other along!!! It’s an amazing thing to experience and be a part of! Her workouts and the way she runs her challenges are so validating for someone who is petite and afraid to look silly in the gym while trying to figure out machines! She’s not only helpful in her explanation of things but also makes you feel so seen! Love it all!

What can I say? This community has meant everything to me, even when something terrible happened, these ladies supported me like no other, even if I'm on the other side of the world. I grew confidence, started to love the gym again and started to transform my body - exactly what I wanted out of this. Maya has created something incredibly special and she should be SO proud. If you're thinking about joining, do it! Not only do we have a welcoming community, there's so much support whether you're new to working out or not. Detailed explanations and videos to support each exercise, meal books and you can now even track your calories and macros! This is your sign to do this! You can achieve so much within 6 weeks. Thank you Maya! ❤️

It's definitely a challenge but because I am doing the same thing every week instead of random

Maya created such an amazing program. It was simple but well thought out and easy to follow. I felt motivated by the community gathered by Maya and the form that Solin put it in. Would definitely do another program through this!

I love how this challenge keeps me going and keep me productive ! It has been amazing so far

I love love these workouts, especially being 4"11. Its hard to see growth as a short person with a high metabolism and working in healthcare. But during this its help maintain my discipline to a routine and gain 2 pounds👍. Thank you very much!!

This is the first time I’ve stayed committed to a challenge! Thank you so much!

I actually feel excited working out everyday. This is the first and only challenge i’ve done where i’ve seen an actual change in my body

Loving this challenge so much! I love having a clear plan of what I’m coming to the gym to work on.

So many leg curls 😭 love the workouts tho

I'm soo happy, I can tell a difference already with the first week 🙌 ☺️ 🤗

Love a good leg day!

So far so good ! I love the support that you receive from all lovely participants . Also like that you can ask for recipes on here . It’s pretty neat that you get a visual of the workout . However , one recommendation is to also make a home friendly workout option for all the busy bees . I know as a mom , sometimes it’s hard to make it in .

This. This was exactly want I needed to get my journey started. It has never felt so good to be back in the gym than I feel now. When I walk in, I already know what I’m doing. Which has helped me stay consistent so far! So thank you Maya for this program! 🫶🏼

I have bought a few workout plans from different fitness influencers throughout the years. But this is by far my FAVORITE workout plan I have ever done. Maya has done a magnificent job putting this together it’s beginner friendly yet challenging if you have worked out for a while. The reps and weight tracking system is my FAVORITE! Shout out Solin app!

Honestly this program has helped me so much in being disciplined and consistent. I think I’ve seen the most results from these workouts than I ever have working out in the pas! Maya did an amazing job curating a program that caters to shortcakes like me!❤️

I purchased this product because I follow Maya and she inspires me! I haven’t found the motivation to work out at the gym but the app itself motivates me! I love the streak we get at the end where it shows how much we lifted for the day and compares how much we lifted through out the whole challenge. It honestly motivates me! Don’t get me wrong there are days when I just don’t want to work out, but once I’m done with the workout, I find it doable !

Simple, straightforward and effective. I’ve seen clear results with all Maya’s programs. My glutes grew a lot with just her 4 week. I can’t wait to see what the 6 week will bring. Highly recommended.

I’m loving the workouts and the meal plan is perfect! My clothes are looking better already and it’s only been 1 week!

LOVE IT!!

This is my first EVER challenge with a social media influencer and what made the decision was how Maya made this so accessible for petite women. I’m 4’ 10” and it’s been really hard to find the right workouts for my body. These are easy to follow and it pushes me each time. My body is sore every time!

I’m loving this workout challenge so far! The workouts are great and feel especially effective for me as someone who’s 5’1. I also love that there’s a supportive community—it really helps with motivation. The meal generator is a huge bonus and makes staying on track so much easier.

I LOVEEEE IT!

Loved loved this program! It was very energetic and positive environment for those who have their own struggles but empowering through. Would like more alternatives workouts for those who don't have gym access, such as without a bench. The rest was perfect! Thank you very much Maya, can't wait for the next short cakes challenge!

This challenge has helped me so much with feeling more confident and comfortable in the gym. I genuinely find so much joy in working out and going to the gym now! So much that I immediately signed up for Maya’s second challenge. It’s been such a positive experience for me!

This got my behind into the gym! I'm on the last week of this 4-week challenge and I feel so strong and confident within myself. So thankful to have joined a supportive group of amazing women. The chat was extremely motivating! Maya has made these workouts digestible. They are descriptive with very helpful videos associated to each. Thank you, Maya! This experience was everything to me and I will be continuing these workouts.

I love love everything Maya has to offer us❤️ Her love for her short queen community is strong ❤️ She is very involved with us , she answers our questions whenever we have them . She gives us our flowers and most of all she has created a safe space for us women to be vulnerable ❤️ I am NASM certified so to be able to be apart of Maya and her love for fitness and health the way I do .. it is amazing! Thank you again ! New yeas challenge here we come !!

This has been such a good purchase! I’ve been following maya for a while for her tips on petite clothing and adding a workout challenge was the perfect thing!

I love the tracking feature. Great experience so far

I really liked the workouts. But I didn’t realize until after buying that all four weeks had the same workouts. Maybe that’s on me but this was pretty pricey for basically 1 week of new workouts.
