00:00Hi everyone, well it's been three years since I posted on YouTube but I'm back and I'm here
00:11to stay.
00:12I'm going to have to do a full life update and that's not what today's video is all about
00:19but I did go through some tough times and through those tough times I wasn't able to
00:23grab the renovations that I usually would vlog for you guys and there has been a lot
00:29of changes in the gym that I'm so proud of, I'm so excited to show you guys.
00:35So yeah, but unfortunately I don't have that footage but I think today's just going to
00:40be a general, general, general gym tour and yeah, come on, come check out my new gym.
01:29Okay, so you guys took a delicious sneak peek of everything in full aesthetic form.
01:55I just want to kind of talk about everything I've done.
01:58So I just want to take a second to do a little fit check, this is my new favorite color,
02:02it's called strawberry milkshake and this entire set is from Lululemon and I love it.
02:09Yeah, okay so this piece of equipment here is one of my favorites, I use it every day
02:14without a doubt.
02:15It's like a lymphatic drainage vibration panel, it's really good for all sorts of things but
02:23for me it just helps like overall, I can't go a day without it basically but I decided
02:30to go like full on with this gym and no gym is complete without a beverage fridge.
02:38So in here I keep all like fresh juices for after the sauna and also some like little
02:46vitamin shots and yeah, it's really cool.
02:49I also keep a phone charger here for convenience, the cleaning supplies for the gym and yeah.
02:55Okay, so this is definitely not new, you saw it in the last gym tour but I can happily
03:01report that I'm using it to its full capacity now.
03:04So even all like leg extensions I'm able to do now, obviously I use the squat rack a lot
03:12and behind me with the ball on top is this super functional new bench that I can do back
03:19extensions on so I love that.
03:22I'm working on some pull-ups but not quite there yet but I'll go ahead and do some squats.
03:41Yay!
03:42Okay, I'm very excited because I get to talk about something new and this renovation was
03:47done with a lot of intention.
03:50I've always wanted to have both dry sauna in front heat and wet heat.
03:58So this is a steam room.
04:00Okay, I purposely left it dark for this shot because I really wanted to get the feel for
04:06the steam room and the design.
04:08The walls are black because I wanted it to feel like this cave.
04:13Also you can see I'm obsessed with glass doors.
04:17I feel like it has a really good gym feel to it and the steam is the same as the graphics
04:23done on the entrance of the gym so that kind of ties it all in.
04:27But this here is just a little bench for when I'm getting ready.
04:32It's repurposed cedar?
04:36No, sorry, it's live edge cedar.
04:39That's what it is.
04:40And actually it opens up and that's where all of the box and the plumbing and everything
04:46is hidden nicely so I really like that.
04:49This is the on and off button and then the controls are also inside the steam room.
04:54And I want to give you a look inside because this is the most gorgeous rain shower.
05:08So I like to do a lot of hot and cold therapy.
05:13So once I get really steamy in here and it gets so hot, then I can just turn this on,
05:22take a little cold exposure and continue my use of the sauna.
05:27What's really good is when I get in here, do a steam and then do a full body scrub.
05:32I come out so soft.
05:34Chef's kiss.
05:36Okay, so before I move on, I forgot to add that another big change was the color.
05:42It was a blue before and I felt it came off kind of like childish, purple-y.
05:50So anyways, I went with just completely black.
05:53It ties all the rooms together.
05:55Obviously the nice white accents of the finishings.
05:58But yeah, with the red lights and the steam red and black, I love it.
06:03Also, one more thing to add.
06:05Am I ever really done a renovation?
06:07No.
06:08So one more thing that's going to happen is the roof is going to go completely black
06:13and I'm also going to install these honeycomb lights.
06:17You may have seen them in garages or other gyms, but it adds this element to really add to you up.
06:26I find lighting really important when I'm working out.
06:28Okay, stop.
06:29You can't go any further.
06:30And let's see how good I'm for chef.
06:32Okay, so this is the absolute best investment and also house renovation I've done to date.
06:45Yeah, I'm so excited to show you, but I just want to give you kind of a rundown of the purpose of this extension.
06:52So I really wanted to have my own Pilates studio as well as just full-on cardio.
06:58So I do not have to go to any public gym and that's really important to me.
07:02So come on in.
07:08So we'll stop here, but this is the dry sauna.
07:11I don't know if I showed it before.
07:13Actually, it wasn't in the other gym.
07:15So this used to be in my bedroom, but obviously it's kind of like a wellness piece of equipment and it really deserved to be in the gym.
07:22Also, the wood went incredible with everything else you're going to see.
07:27Come on.
07:31So I have a little station here conveniently set up with dry brushing, anything kind of wellness that goes with the sauna,
07:40towels obviously for the gym, hand lotion, sanitizer.
07:44Yeah, so I usually have a little face device in there.
07:49So I do some of my skincare too.
07:51Also, this is basically my personal trainer now.
07:58It's a stand by me and it flips both horizontally and everything like that.
08:04So I used to have a trainer come out here, but it just really wasn't working with my schedule and hers.
08:10So I tried virtual training.
08:13So that's how I do my sessions now.
08:15And that's what this is used for.
08:19And then right here is also some help I get.
08:22This is another mirror.
08:24So now Lululemon bought out the mirror.
08:28So I'll try to link that video as well.
08:31But I have a review done on the original mirror, but this is Lululemon one.
08:35And so, yeah, I sit and stand over in this space here and do all the classes.
08:43I already feel shorter, but it's a step down and it actually worked out really well.
08:49This was off of my original built deck and then the extension goes further past it.
08:56So concrete was laid and that's why there's a step.
09:01But the design of a 28 foot cathedral ceiling has got to be one of my best decisions because it feels so big and open and motivating.
09:17So with cardio, it just never gets boring.
09:21Even though I have the interactive screens, honestly, I have one of the best views.
09:27I will show you guys the lake view.
09:30But this equipment has been coming in slow and steady over the past three years.
09:38It's not something I just purchased altogether.
09:41I believe, yes, so when I first did the gym tour and it was just the room over there, I had the Peloton bike.
09:51And that was also the Bowflex at the end.
09:55So I had those pieces of equipment.
09:57But next came a beautiful Peloton tread.
10:02And this is my staple piece of equipment.
10:06I'll be on here doing hot girl walks.
10:09I'm not a big runner for obvious reasons, but I do a walk on an incline.
10:15So, yeah.
10:16Then came the Echelon rower.
10:21I kind of regret this because if I had waited just one more year, the matching Peloton came out with rower.
10:30So that's a little subtle regret.
10:33But it is a good functioning piece of equipment.
10:37Not my favorite.
10:39Kind of a grade at like 6 out of 10.
10:42This is 10 out of 10.
10:45And now, this one is probably the most exciting piece of equipment.
10:52It's a Jacob's Ladder.
10:54I'm sure you've seen it in some public or facilities.
10:57But this is called Jacob's Ladder 2.
11:00So it's designed a little bit smaller than your original gym piece.
11:05It's still large for the room.
11:07But for an at-home space, it's done manually, I think.
11:12Yeah.
11:13It plugs in just for like these controls up here.
11:16But you can honestly just jump on and use it.
11:19So this straps around and you just get climbing.
11:22And it is such a crazy workout.
11:25I'm still working on it.
11:27Like I can only do 5-6 minutes and then I'm tapped.
11:32So, yes.
11:33This one is my most exciting piece to show off for cardio equipment.
11:39But we'll move on.
11:44Okay.
11:47Just really thoroughly enjoying myself.
11:50So this is a lymphatic drainage roller.
11:59I don't know if there's like legit science behind it.
12:01All I know is that my mental health increases, my mood increases,
12:06and my body looks better for it.
12:09Because this wood that continuously rolls,
12:13and it does it in a way where it rolls towards to get your circulation up
12:17and your lymphatic system like amped up.
12:20So anyways, you do like all these different positions that I can't show on YouTube
12:25because I'll probably get banned.
12:27But it feels really good and I think it's beneficial.
12:31So this is the roller.
12:33So I just want to talk a little bit about this wall
12:36because initially it started off as a piece for my studio,
12:41but the cats attacked it right away.
12:43And then I got this idea and inspo off of looking at other wellness areas.
12:49And moss and wood look so good together.
12:52So this is a slat wall.
12:55And then I had a specific moss designer place this moss kind of scattered like this.
13:02This is repurposed into here and I think it looks way better in here anyways.
13:07It had a smell for a bit.
13:09That was like the one downfall.
13:11But now it has no smell, no maintenance.
13:14You don't have to water it.
13:16I'm not a plant girl and I don't know how to look after plants,
13:19but this is so cool to have in the gym.
13:22All right, so this is a Cadillac Pilates piece of equipment.
13:27I love this.
13:30I can do all sorts of stretching on here, all sorts of strength training,
13:35and it's like a low-impact way of working out and it just works for my body.
13:40I love Pilates so much.
13:43And yeah, so the reformer, it has so many functions.
13:47Basically, I can do cardio on it.
13:50It's all spring-loaded.
13:54So when I go up here, I catch the springs and I can jump back and forth.
13:58Such a good workout.
13:59My favorite piece of Pilates equipment,
14:01which was pretty unexpected because I love those pieces so much.
14:06Okay, so I think you guys can use your imagination
14:09because I don't know if I'll get away with showing you how I bent backwards and forwards,
14:15but it's very relaxing.
14:17The one thing that was not really thought out was how hot the gym would be in the summer.
14:25Because it's an extension, there wasn't a household airflow that you could add an air conditioner and a heater.
14:31So in the summer, the air conditioning has to go on.
14:34This is like an external air conditioner.
14:37And then in the winter, a heater has to go on along with the baseboards and stuff.
14:41But now, let me finish off with a beautiful look at the lake and what I get to work out to.
14:55Alright guys, that concludes the gym tour update and showing you all a peek into my private facility.
15:15I'm going to finish off by strapping up and getting on Jacob's ladder.
15:20Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching.
15:23I can promise you all that I'm here to stay.
15:26I'm going to be posting YouTubes on the regular now.
15:29But yes, definitely show some love or ask some questions or request other videos you'd like to see.
15:38It takes a minute to kick in.
15:40And then you've got to keep up with the climbing.
15:44You can start going as fast as you want.
15:47And ideally, you wouldn't need a bear beat.
15:51It's such a full body workout.
15:56Well, I'm going to zone out now. See you guys!
