Philly Gainz just marked a major milestone.

Philly Gainz just marked its one-year anniversary at 6186 Ridge Avenue in Roxborough this past month. Launched October 1, 2015, Philly Gainz has quickly become the go to store for local athletes and body builders in the Philadelphia region. The company specializes in nutritional supplements for both men and women alike.

John Bennett, owner and operator of Philly Gainz, said that while the store is geared toward the niche body building market they supply everything needed for weight loss, weight gain and meal replacements. Bennett’s vision for the store stems from his own commitment to both body building and personal fitness.

“Body building has always been an important part of my life, it started as a hobby that transitioned into a lifestyle,” said Bennett.

“Body building has always been an important part of my life, it started as a hobby that transitioned into a lifestyle.”

“Prior to Philly Gainz I was an EMT for 10 years, the combination of learning alot about the body and learning alot about managing and running a business I decided to one, find out what I am passionate about and two, incorporate that into building a brand.”

Bennett’s passion for bodybuilding has led him to professional competition, after recently placing in two classes he has been invited to the Philadelphia Classic this coming April. He translates his personal drive into his business, working with his customers to advance their fitness through educated choices.

Top products at the store include proteins, pre-workouts and Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). Philly Gainz also offers meal replacement options along with the rollout of a delivery service bringing nutrient and supplement needs to their customer’s front doors. For two dollars simply order through the store website and right after store hours they deliver to your home.

Bennett’s future goals for Philly Gainz involve working with customers to help shape plans specific for their needs. This could include partnering them with a dietitian making 6186 Ridge Avenue a one stop shop for nutrition at an affordable price. We will be cheering Bennett on this coming April after the Philadelphia Classic Bodybuilding Competition and wish him many more years of success on Ridge Avenue.

Philly Gainz was founded in 2015 and is located at 6186 Ridge Avenue. For more information contact them at 215-921-1951 or visit them at Philly Gainz website.
