Giovannie Vilomar came to Philadelphia in 2020 planning to stay for 30 days. He never left. In 2025 he opened his own gym, Kensington Powerlifting, in South Kensington. The piece profiles him as a gym owner building strength, roots and community in the area.
It is a story about someone who turned a short stay into opening a powerlifting gym built around community, which many people who train will recognise.
