Good info. They way you handled the naysayers that might speak up about your home gym was well said. It does NOT look like a dump and does what you need it to and works well. On top of all of that you found ways to not get cheated out of a lot of money. You found a way to build the same equipment/tools for a fraction of the price that work just as well as the over priced stuff.

Gym is badass. In my experience, the best workouts are in home gyms that aren’t perfect and you are doing it in paradise. You’re killing it man

Props to you brother! You are the first ex-pat I've seen that takes his health seriously, most of them spend their time eating and drinking. I'm 68 and workout daily in my home gym here in the states, not only for the health benefits but also for how good it makes me feel both physically and mentally. Enjoy your paradise!

Can't wait to see the finished pool, luv that cobalt blue tile. Keep the mowers out of the gym, they will eat your floor.

I like that saying, "I have a back-up plan for the back-up plan"...🎥😂😎👍👌👊🙏🏡

You have everything you need in your own comfort zone.. that’s a goal!

The gym is already awesome at this point, let alone what you've done since!

Bummer about having to go to all those stores to find sufficient grout, I guess that’s a con, but at least you were able to complete the job!! Beautiful blue tile, and I’ve seen the finished pool, gorgeous! Your gym is fine, looks great 👍

Health is wealth!

I am loving that gym man. I'm a simple guy, a pullup bar in the back and a heavy bag is all I really need.

You rock brother!!!! Awesome gym!!!!

Looks amazing! Hard work pays off brother! 🏝🇵🇭

Looking awesome mate, you'll be punching out laps in no time

We always enjoy your videos! So much thought and planning goes into everything you do. Good for you

Good video. My Wife wants a pool, I don't want a pool. This is good info for when we get a pool

oh what the hell....don't apologize for your gym. looks great. every gym grows in steps. I imagine its really hard to find what you want at good prices over there. And I suspect there is a rust issue you face too. my family is in vietnam and every time the wife says we should plan on living there i think..."GYM"...and how to do it. Keep up the good work. would love to see a 5 minutes update on the gym as this vid is a year old already.

Wow enjoy

Very nice , pool to cool off after decent workout in the warmth , i prefer basic gyms and equipment , not sure why , think i train harder with basic stuff .

Always great information shared by you. Thank you. 👏🏻👏🏻

happy 10k subs sir!!! keep it going!!! mabuhay!!! congrats and godbless!!! ✅💯❤️🇵🇭😁🤙

Love the vids keep them coming bro!!!

I enjoy the gym you’ve made. Great job with it and the pool. I’m having a pool put in as well. Take care

man, the gym is looking solid! you've got the essentials enough for maintenance, get your sweat and pump on and jump in the pool, can't get any better than that and it's your own gym and pool, beats LA fitness. Super jealous, awesome gym, will have to do something similar and buy the stuff in the states and send via balikbayan box. Thanks man! still can't wait to see the final product of the gym. Peace! congrats on the 10G's subs!

Your Gym is Fantastic! You have come a long way. Congratulations!! Thank you for the VLOGS. I also think you wife’s cousin’s lawn mowers are the best!! 😊I think you are good to go! #IslandLife

Looking good.....thanks Danial

Everything is looking awesome man.

Thanks for the gym tour Cory 👍 And fully agree looks doesn't matter one bit. You can get a lot accomplished with dumbbells, a bench, bodyweight and cardio. And the cable-system and pull-up bar provide nice extra options. Only additional thing I don't think I'd be able to do without is a squat rack, a barbell and weights. Love deadlifting and squatting too much 😎💪 But hell if necessary I could manage with dumbbells, a bench and some elastic bands.

Sweet setup all around and smart planning each step of the way. Beautiful resort lifestyle home looks awesome and the backup systems will give a huge peace of mind. Will you build other units to sell or rent?

Coming along great. Good work.👍

That Blue is Going to Look Amazing When the Pool is Finally Filled!

If your having problems with ur lawn mower, just make tacos ouf of it😂😂. Swimming pool looks awsome, cann’t wait to visit u guys to dive in, hehehe. Waiting for ur next vidoe. Salamat.

Goooooooals astig

I like the goats so cute

Another GREAT INFO VID!!! wow 1) the Dry Humor is Hilarious, especially the cute lil goats ( which wont be little for long..you will have to build them a club house and ramps to enjoy LOL 2) My hunting dog goes nuts ( because he hears all the wildlife in the background - Hilarious - he looks everywhere for it, LOL, walls , outside etc.. 3) you are so right about Gennys.. My friend up here ( sierra foothills ) buys Dead or cheap Generacs, Just for the parts when he installs for others - too bad you cant hire Locals to learn about those, and do the same LOL 4) HONDA really anything is the best.. and so much more widely available.. 5) Living up here I too, have to drive like 45 min. to a Lowes, and hour 15. min for a home depot, AND the Ace hardwares are all independent, so they wont call each other, LOL They hand me the Phone.. BUT SO MUCH to be said about the long Gorgeous Views and Making a FUN day about it.. Your attitude and NOW learning the new LAID back Humor is coming along my friend.. so different. At least in Mexico, and South America you can usually Get if you are willing to Pay extra, But there, It really doesnt matter LOL.. AND you are doing YOUR GYM RIGHT.. I will be looking for your advice and Downloadable PDF's for my future reference.. My best to you and yours.. Cory.. LOVE it..

GREETNGS. From California

My first comment to any vlogger. Great information and very impressed on your planning. Live in San Antonio TX USA but wife and I have a house in Pampanga/Manila area. Just looking for more details on the gym build. What was shipped and what bought in Philippines. Can you post more detailed pic of it.Thanks again.

Having a back up plan is absolutely necessary in the PH, based on my personal experience, Murphy’s law is a constant here, whether it’s just lack of inventory or the people have no clue……you really need to rely on yourself having things in place should any issue arise. Good choice on the pool tiles, my wife chose a light blue and it’s my biggest regret, as the dirt is really magnified on the tiles each time after use…..and we spend more time cleaning the tiles everyday.

Man that gym and pool are gonna be fire.. need a roommate? (and his wife and kids) 😂

Great job bro👍🏼👍🏼

😂😂😂 oh Baby Goat. I think he's telling u to get back in the gym. haha. The pool is looking good!

The goat tho 🤣🤣

Hi mate looking forward to total house costs, solar and pool. Cheers al

It's me your doing superb a big swimming pool in a hot weather country and to top it off a gym in your own home you could'nt ask for better

Hello Cory! Great video! and great job on the pool! Also great attitude on dealing with the hic-ups! Kind request on my part. I'll be doing a pool too. Trying to figured out if I'll go with the pump tied in to my in-home oversize hybrid solar system or do I set it up as you are doing it. But I'm not clear on your 48V DC pump set-up. I understand it will be tied direct to panels as a stand alone system. Could you explain your filtration set-up while including the basic power supply connections. Looking for the basics. I will figure the balance out. What pump do I need to look for? Just ain't clear on this one... Sorry! Salamat Po!

Cory it’s July 7th and haven’t heard from you in a while. Is all Ok? Keep us posted. Thanks.

You look alike michael stipe R.E.M Vocalist now living in Philippines 🇵🇭

Nice video I like that you give a lot of information that cool I have 2 questions what the size is the pool and what size filter for that size pool you using thanks god bless

Lawnmovers are the style I would want to have here in Spain. 😂

What pulleys did you use? HardwAre store or marine type?

Nice gym. Looks official to me. You box? Movement / exercise is medicine especially at our age.

I all so have a plan A and B and C ...

Mornin man

Your a patient man Cory. Concerning a home gym, functionality is what matters, not being pretty.

put a bucket or fence around the Fruit trees protect from goats

Did you not think to inquire who the source/manufacturer was, and order a ten wheeler truck load?

Can you tell me what model of Honda generator you purchased, where you purchased it and how much you paid? Thanks!

You were talking about cost of materials could you elaborate were the cost more from the city or the province areas

question sir. how much is that rubber flooring in your gym? would love to buy that kind of flooring and be installed to my gaming room hehe

What is the LBC boxes that you said you shipped items are very reasonably?

might be a redundant question, what province are you at?

Filipino Lawn Mowers lmao

I plan to build a swimming pool. How much does it cost excluding the motor the same size in your swimming pool?

Hello brother...im just starting to watch your video...IF YOU NEED A BACKWASH handle I can track one down here and Send to you.. LMk..im waiting on the Gym portion of the video....Pool looks INCREDIBLE

May iask, How much the cost for the pool size?

Where in Phil’s are you living?

Why didn't you do online shopping instead of driving all over the place, like Lazada ???

How much pagawa pool?

I don’t understand how people don’t work out . If I don’t get in at least 500 push ups and 1000 dips I feel like a bitch

Omg…that rooster needs a solar powered “SHOCK COLLAR” maybe that would shut it up 🤐

Why is your living lawnmower running around your house.

Do you have a Facebook page? I need your advice please.
