Frequently Asked Questions

GENERAL QUESTIONS

PROGRAMS

Which Program Should I Start With?

The best program for you depends on your goals and how much time you have available to work out each day.

I offer programs ranging from 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes, as well as programs focused strictly on strength training and others that combine strength, cardio, and resistance training, such as Salsa Sculpt.

Not sure where to start? No worries! Email maria@colombianmafiafit.comor send me a DM. I'm always happy to help you create a plan that fits your goals, schedule, and fitness level. 💪🏼💃🏻

¿Los programas son bilingües o solo en inglés?

La mayoría de mis programas están grabados en inglés.

Actualmente, tengo tres programas en español:

  • 💃🏻 Let's Get Physical

  • 💪🏼 Mami Fit

  • 🔥 FKG Strong

Todos los demás programas están disponibles en inglés.

Si tienes dudas sobre cuál programa es mejor para ti, escríbeme a maria@colombianmafiafit.com o envíame un DM y con gusto te ayudaré. 💪🏼💃🏻

Who Are These Programs For?

My programs are designed for women of all fitness levels—from beginners to more advanced exercisers.

Whether your goal is to lose body fat, build muscle, tone up, improve your strength, increase your energy, or simply feel better in your body, there's a program for you.

Most workouts can be modified to match your fitness level, allowing you to progress at your own pace.

How Many Days Per Week Should I Work Out?

Each program includes a recommended workout calendar to help you stay on track.

Most programs are designed for 3–5 workouts per week, depending on the program and your goals.

Consistency is more important than perfection. Follow the calendar, do your best, and focus on building sustainable habits.

What If I'm New to Working Out?

"I haven't exercised in years. Can I still do your programs?"

Yes! Many women in my community start as complete beginners. I always encourage you to start where you are, use lighter weights if needed, take breaks when necessary, and focus on learning proper form before increasing intensity.

Can I Do the Programs If I'm Over 40?

Absolutely! In fact, most of the women in my community are over 40.

As a 43-year-old mom of three, I understand the changes that come with aging and shifting hormones. That's why my programs focus on building strength, maintaining muscle, improving mobility, and creating healthy habits that last.

It's never too late to get stronger and feel your best. 💪🏼

Can I Repeat the Program After I Finish It? How long do I have access to the program?

Absolutely! Since your program includes lifetime access, you can repeat it as many times as you'd like.

As you get stronger, improve your form, and gain confidence, you'll often find that the same program feels completely different the second or third time around.

Some women choose to repeat a program several times, while others move on to a new program and then come back later or mix programs together for variety.

The more strength and knowledge you build, the more you'll get out of every workout. 💪🏼

Can I Do the Workouts at Home, or Are They for the Gym?

Absolutely! All of my programs are designed to be done from home.

In fact, I personally train at home and do not use gym machines in my workouts. My programs focus on effective strength training using:

  • Dumbbells

  • Resistance bands

  • Ankle weights

  • Bodyweight exercises

You can complete every workout from the comfort of your home with minimal equipment.

Prefer the gym? No problem! The workouts can also be done at a gym using free weights, bands, and ankle weights.

No machines required—just a commitment to show up and put in the work. 💪🏼

Do the Programs Include a Meal Plan?

Yes! Every program includes a Food Guide to help support your goals.

  • 🥗 Food Guide 1.0 is designed for fat loss.

  • 💪🏼 Food Guide 2.0 is designed for building and maintaining muscle.

Rather than a restrictive meal plan, I provide sample weekly menus, portion-size illustrations, and simple nutrition guidelines that make healthy eating easier to understand and follow.

My goal is to teach you how to eat for life—not just for a few weeks. 💃🏻

Where Is My Program After Purchase?

Once your purchase is complete, you will receive two emails:

  1. Your receipt

  2. A confirmation email containing your Program PDF and video access link

Please download and save the PDF to your preferred device (computer, tablet, or phone) so you can easily access it anytime.

Inside the confirmation email, you'll also find a link to access your workout videos. After logging in, your program and videos can be found under "Purchased Programs" in your account.

Be sure to follow the Workout Calendar and Food Guide, which are also included with your purchase to help you get the best results.

If you do not see your emails, please check your Spam, Promotions, or Junk folders.

How Do I Access the Videos?

There are two ways to access your workout videos:

Option 1: Use the video access link included in your Program PDF and confirmation email.

Option 2: Log in directly to your account at Colombian Mafia Fit using the email address and password you created during the purchase process.

Once logged in, you can find your videos:

  • At the bottom of your program's webpage

  • Under "Purchased Programs" in your account

If you're having trouble accessing your program or videos, please email us at info@colombianmafiafit.com, and we'll be happy to help!

What Equipment Do I Need?

Most of my programs require a set of dumbbells and resistance bands.

I highly recommend having three sets of weights:

  • Light (for smaller muscle groups and beginners) 3 or 5 lbs

  • Medium 8- 10 or 12 LB

  • Heavy (especially for lower-body exercises) 15 lb set and up

For upper-body exercises, most women do well with weights up to 8 lbs, while for lower body, I encourage you to go as heavy as you can while maintaining proper form.

If you're a beginner, start with lighter weights and gradually increase over time.

Remember: never sacrifice good form for heavier weight.

I also recommend having:

  • Latex resistance bands

  • Fabric resistance bands

You can purchase both in the Mafia Shop on my website.

Don't have a gym bench? No problem! I use a bench in some workouts, but you can easily substitute it with a sturdy chair, sofa, ottoman, or even your bed.

For step-ups, use a sturdy step, chair, staircase, or any stable surface available in your home.

Remember, fitness doesn't have to be perfect. Make it work with what you have and start where you are. 💪🏼

Do the Programs Include Full-Length Videos?

Yes! All of my programs include full follow-along workout videos. That means we're doing the entire workout together from start to finish—just press play and follow along with me.

Depending on the program, workouts range from approximately:

  • 20–30 minutes

  • 40 minutes

  • 50 minutes

I'll guide you through every exercise, including form, breathing, and modifications when needed.

No guesswork. No creating your own workouts. Just press play, show up, and let's get stronger together! 💪🏼

Do I Have to Pay Monthly for the Programs?

No! My programs are a one-time payment—there are no monthly fees and no subscriptions.

Once you purchase a program, you receive:

  • 🎥 Full follow-along workout videos

  • 📲 Lifetime access

  • 🥗 Food Guide

  • 📅 Workout Calendar

  • 💪🏼 Access anytime, anywhere

Your program never expires. My goal is not just to help you complete a workout—it's to help you create a sustainable lifestyle and build habits that last.

That's why you'll have lifetime access, so you can come back to your program whenever you need it and continue your fitness journey at your own pace.

Purchase once. Keep it forever. 💃🏻💪🏼
