Online fitness coaching for people in New Mexico
New Mexico has one of the lowest household broadband shares on these pages and one of the smaller work-from-home shares, which says two true things about coaching here: the connection is a phone, and the week is out of the house. Neither changes the plan. The state survey says almost a quarter of adults report no activity and about four in ten lift twice a week. Diogo is based in South Florida and coaches online. New Mexico is on Mountain time, two hours behind me.
How New Mexico trains, per the CDC's state survey
In 2023, 41.3% of adults in New Mexico reported muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week (BRFSS, 95% CI 38.7 to 44.0). In 2025, 23.4% reported no leisure-time physical activity at all (BRFSS, 95% CI 21.4 to 25.5).
Daily life in New Mexico, by the numbers
From the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, published value and margin of error together: about 12.2% of workers who live here work from home (90% margin of error plus or minus 0.3); commuters average 23.5 minutes to work (90% margin of error plus or minus 0.3); the median age is 39.4 years (90% margin of error plus or minus 0.1); 86.5% of households have a broadband subscription (90% margin of error plus or minus 0.3). State figures: your own city may differ.
How coaching works from a distance
Diogo is based in South Florida and coaches online. Your workouts live in the Trainerize app, you weigh in twice a week, you send progress photos every two weeks, and we talk on a weekly call scheduled around your time zone. Between calls, you can message me with questions.
Our internet is unreliable. Can online coaching even work here?
Yes, because it needs almost none. New Mexico has one of the lowest household broadband shares on these pages, and the plan is built for that whether or not I meant it to be: the workouts sit in an app on your phone and work offline once loaded, the weigh-ins are a number you type, and the weekly call runs on a phone connection. If the video is poor, we talk; the call is the point. The small work-from-home share says the week is out of the house, so the sessions are written for before and after work and the weekend.
Where does someone with no gym habit start?
With the smallest week that counts. The state survey says almost a quarter of New Mexicans report no leisure-time activity, and the first month for that person is two sessions of six movements, weights that feel too easy, a daily walk with a floor you can hit on a bad day, and the technique taught as we go. The share who lift twice a week is close to the other states here, so the gym culture exists; the plan just has to be small enough to start. How to start lifting weights is the first month written out.
Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, the pueblos and the ranches: the same coaching?
The same method and your week. The commute here is among the shorter ones on these pages, which leaves room on either side of a workday, and the median age sits in the middle, so the plan progresses by reps and sets before weight. A gym, a garage or a patio with a set of dumbbells all work; the plan is written for the equipment you tell me you have. Diogo is based in South Florida and coaches online.
