Garcia’s Events & Fuel Our Power Presents FOP Fest

How FOP is building a network of fitness and wellness professionals to replicate their successful health challenges across the region.

In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns is joined by Tiana, Olga, and Dory to discuss an exciting upcoming community event: FOPFest. Organized by Fuel Our Power (FOP), this celebration of health and wellness is designed to bring the Lakeland and Polk County community together through fun, fitness, and social connection.

The guests share the inspiring origin of Fuel Our Power, which evolved from a successful food truck (Feast of Persia) into a holistic wellness mission. After seeing life-changing health results in their clients—including significant drops in cholesterol and even the reversal of type 2 diabetes—the family decided to focus entirely on empowering others through the “Mediterranean lifestyle” of healthy eating, physical activity, and community.

Whether you’re looking to jumpstart your fitness journey, enjoy a great family day out, or support a local cause, this episode highlights how FOPFest is creating a healthier and more connected Lakeland.
