The Story of Fitness Marriage Coaching:
For Demitrie and Karen Palm, the foundation of their work is built on 35 years of marriage and a shared passion for holistic wellness—of the body, the mind, and the spirit. Their journey is one of transition, transformation, and a relentless commitment to helping couples thrive in every season of life. From Atlanta to the Tampa Bay Area, after living in Atlanta for nearly 30 years, where they raised their children and built their lives, Demitrie and Karen made the bold decision to relocate to Tampa in 2019. This move was more than just a change of scenery; it was a step toward a new mission. Despite leaving behind a deep-rooted community, they felt a calling to use the lessons learned from their own marriage to support and restore other couples. In December 2019, they launched Fitness Marriage Coaching LLC, fulfilling a long-held vision to combine physical health with relationship vitality. As former gym owners and personal trainers, they understand that a healthy marriage requires the same discipline as physical fitness. Demitrie brings his competitive bodybuilding fitness background, unparalleled group fitness creativity and a background from The Fashion Art Institute of Atlanta, while Karen, a graduate from The Southern University with a Bachelors of Arts Degree, professional lifestyle commercial model, fashion stylist and "Americas Fit Mrs. 2022," brings organizational strength and a unique mentoring approach where she provides practical tools while sharing her own personal experiences with every married women.
"We believe that every marriage deserves the chance to thrive". After 35 years of walking this path together, our mission is to provide the coaching and spiritual guidance needed to change marriages, one covenant at a time."

Karen and Demetrie have created such a beautiful space for couples to grow, connect, and be intentional about their marriages. Their own relationship is such a beautiful example of what it looks like to have God at the center. You can genuinely see the love and respect they have for one another, how they enjoy each other, complement one another, and truly thrive together.
What also stands out is the way they value and care for themselves individually. They understand that loving your spouse well starts with knowing how to love, nurture, and take care of yourself. They make space to grow individually while still growing together, and that balance is such a beautiful reflection of a healthy, Christ-centered relationship.
Their heart for seeing marriages flourish is evident in everything they do. We are so grateful for the wisdom, encouragement, and community they provide, and for the reminder that a strong marriage is something worth continually investing in. What they are building is truly a blessing, and we are excited to see the impact it will have on so many couples!
