About the founder
Deborah (“Debbie”) Pagán, MBA, MA, MS
Meet Deborah Pagán, the passionate and visionary creator and founder of FITTPALOOZA. With an unwavering commitment to wellness and an extensive academic background, Deborah has dedicated herself to helping people pursue healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Deborah launched FITT PALOOZA LLC in 2015 with the creation of FITTPALOOZA5K. In 2016, she joined Orlando Health’s Corporate Finance department, where she worked for nearly nine years. During those same years, she continued expanding FITTPALOOZA independently, creating FITTPALOOZA in the Park, the FITTPALOOZA 12-WEEK PROGRAM, the FITTPALOOZA SHUFFLE line dance and original song, the FITTPALOOZA Coloring Book for Healthy Kids! and other fitness and wellness experiences.
These original creations reflect Deborah’s belief that wellness messages can reach people in many different ways. The FITTPALOOZA SHUFFLE uses music and dance to encourage movement, while the FITTPALOOZA Coloring Book for Healthy Kids! makes nutrition and healthy-habit education fun, creative, and approachable for children.
Her experience within the hospital system—particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the years since—deepened her appreciation for the vital role hospitals and healthcare professionals play in emergency, acute, and complex care. It also contributed to the continued evolution of FITTPALOOZA’s mission. What began with a celebratory 5K experience grew into a broader commitment to helping people take proactive, practical steps to support their health by moving more, eating better, reducing everyday stress, receiving appropriate preventive care, and developing sustainable daily habits.
Deborah holds a Master of Science in Exercise Science and Health Promotion, reflecting her commitment to understanding the science of physical fitness and overall well-being. As a current member of the IDEA Health & Fitness Association, she remains connected to developments and best practices within the health and fitness industry.
Deborah’s personal wellness journey reflects the principles she promotes through FITTPALOOZA. Her routine includes cardiovascular and strength-training activities, nutritious foods, and meaningful time with family and friends. She also enjoys interests that challenge and engage her, including competitive shooting and solving puzzles—demonstrating her belief in keeping both the body and mind active.
Above all, Deborah is committed to sharing the joy, encouragement, and empowerment of FITTPALOOZA with individuals, families, workplaces, and communities. Through engaging events, practical wellness programs, online content, and community activities, she is working to make healthier habits more accessible, enjoyable, and community-driven.
Her message is simple: Move more. Eat better. Reduce stress. Have fun—and keep moving toward a healthier life.
