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."

For Demitrie and Karen Palm, marriage isn't just a contract—it’s a discipline that requires strength, endurance, and intentionality. Having been married for 35 years, Demitrie and Karen have walked through every season of life together. Seven years ago, they decided to turn their decades of personal experience into a purposeful mission, founding Fitness Marriage Coaching.
It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Demitrie & Karen Palm as outstanding leaders in marriage ministry. Their commitment to strengthening and nurturing healthy relationships within our church has been nothing short of excellent.
As leaders in our marriage ministry, they consistently demonstrate the heart of God to strengthen and restore marriage. They have led in multiple environments, and based on their story, one of the most effective roles as leaders has been in our Marriage Intensive group. The Marriage Intensive group would represent couples that are in most distress in their marriage and many on the brink of divorce.
Their ability to connect with couples from all walks of life, offer sound biblical guidance, and lead by example has made a lasting impact in our church and community. In addition to being profoundly, impactful, restoring marriages, they have also exemplified empowering leadership by identifying leadership in other couples. Many of these couples were the ones that needed the most help in their marriages, and through hard work , building relationship, and believing in them, they have been able to replicate great leadership through them.
