Caroline Palmer (Professional)

Corporate background - 18 years in marketing - highly paid, highly stressed; cash rich, time poor!


Redundancy and the big 4-0 coincided and gave me time to reflect: What do I want to do for the rest of my life? Go back to more stress, stuck in an office, plane, hotel room or airport, lining someone else's pocket?  


No thanks, let me get outdoors and earn a living doing what I love.... running and helping others!


Re-qualified as a personal trainer (and sports massage therapist) with Premier Global in 2001 and have been running my own business as a PT ever since. I visit high net worth individuals at their homes and get them out and about running and strength/conditioning in the glorious Wiltshire countryside.


Last year I also set up Get Running course: 10 weeks from 0 - 5k - and it works! Many of the Get Running 'graduates' are inspired to continue running and have joined my local running club in Devizes, which is great to see, as I see them continue to progress to half-marathon and beyond :))


Alongside my PT business I am a mentor and business coach - having switched careers and set up my own health and wellbeing business I help others to do the same, under the umbrella of a long-established worldwide organisation.  This is building me a residual income, with which to have fun with (not to mention the dreaded P word, yes pension!), whilst my PT business pays the bills.
