The physical fitness arm of the Tampa Bay Collard Green Festival emphasizes heart health and active living through programs like the I ❤️ Greens 5K Ready Program, an 8-week training intensive for beginners leading up to the I ❤️ Greens 5K & Fitness Extravaganza, and all-day workouts during the festival. From group fitness sessions to festival-themed line dances, this dynamic lineup encourages community members of all fitness levels to move, connect, and prioritize wellness - 365!

As part of the nonprofit's broader mission, this programming addresses health disparities in underserved communities by making fitness accessible, fun, and culturally relevant. The community is also introduced to local personal trainers, coaches, and workout groups for ongoing guidance and support, building sustainable fitness habits. By combining education, physical activity, and access to expert resources, TBCGF Inc. empowers individuals to embrace long-term healthy lifestyles while celebrating their cultural heritage.
