Director – Karen Thompson

Fitness Escapes owner and director Karen Thompson is a Stuntwoman and a former New Zealand Tae Kwon Do representative.
​
She has 12 national titles and has run many successful self-defence courses. She has spent her life playing sport and keeping fit. Karen thrives on the commitment in reaching personal goals and assisting others in achieving theirs.

After discovering her love for Thailand in 2006, she moved to Phuket where she trained every day at the fitness camp.

She has first-hand knowledge and experience of the camp and was lucky enough to get to know the area. She can guide everyone on where to go, what to do, where to eat, even where to get the best massages.

Karen’s advice is, “Don’t be afraid to travel alone, understandably this can be daunting; however you WILL meet like-minded people who will enrich your fitness experience.”
