Our Mafiosa Community is Everything!

“For me, this community is a sisterhood of women who empower each other, celebrate one another, and lift each other up when we need a boost, a workout partner, a shoulder to cry on, or just a quick vent or laugh. You can’t compare any program to CMF, nor can you compare any trainer to Maria!”

“I was scared, anxious, depressed, self-conscious, and physically and extremely unhappy. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was determined to not quit. Nine months later, I am so proud to be here calling myself a Mafiosa, working out six days a week, hosting classes for one of Maria’s CMF programs, having made some of the best friendships of my life”

“I have a 9 year old boy and 7 month old girl. I found Maria’s videos postpartum on YouTube and slowly started doing her workouts. I did two rounds of 1.0 and I am currently doing 2.0. I have lost 30 pound and my body is looking better than it ever has; moms you can do it! ”

“I thought I was a weak person but I am not. If I can keep up with the workouts, I feel like I can keep up with anything. Don’t doubt yourself, jump into it, its not an easy challenge, but it will become more than an 8-week challenge because it will change your body and soul. You will get to meet some of the nicest people! So don’think about it and go for it.”

“The most rewarding part of this challenge has been the strength I have gained day by day. Many simple movements I could not handle before I can now do without any pain or discomfort. Starting this challenge I was overweight, struggled with high cholesterol and hypertension, and had a liver that was screaming for help. Today I no longer struggle with any of that and I feel stronger than I have in a very long time.”

“I had zero fitness experience prior to the challenge was a plus size candidate. I was starting from starch and had trouble with some of the moves. I overcome my challenges by reaching out to Maria, asking for help with modification(s). She provided modifications, encouraged me to keep it simple and do as much as could correctly, without injury, until I could continue to add more reps gradually as recommended.”

“The most rewarding part of the challenge, besides from seeing the results, was proving myself wrong. I am my biggest enemy and saboteur. So many negative thoughts would run thru my mind daily, and I proved myself I could do it, I can achieve the body of my dreams if I just keep going!”

“I was laid off from my job and going down a slippery slope of horrible habits. I was eating all sorts of junk food and staying up until 5am most nights. As with everything, there is a transition period, but for me, the transition was awakening a beast inside me I didn’t know existed. I loved the process so I went for more and completed her 8 week 1.0 challenge twice, along with her 10 week core program, and now moving onto her Body by Maria program.”

“These physical changes have given me confidence and serve as an reminder that hard work pays off. However, the most notable change for me was my mind. The willpower I develops is like nothing I have ever experienced. ”

My biggest obstacle in completing the challenge would have to have been the food. Como buena latina, we would eat bread in the AM, rice for lunch & dinner. Since I would be the cook in my household, I would cook the carbs for the rest of the family & more veggies for me. It was difficult at first but towards the end it was all I knewThe most rewarding part of the challenge was saying that I did that, I made the choice to change for ME, not my husband, not my son, but for me!.”

“If it wasn't for the CMF community I don't think I would've gotten through it. The support and accountability every single person in this group hands you is unlike any other. Connect on your whatsapp groups, connect on FB, on Instagram, everything you put into it is exactly what you will get out of it.”

“This was my second round of the 1.0 8-week program. Since Mother’s Day 5/13, I’ve lost 22 lbs and went from a size 12 to a size 6/7. I have 9 lbs to my goal and I’m not fucking stopping. I’m so happy to have found you, gracias por todo.”
