Yes but I'll bet you're not surprised. Afterall, this is someone's dream gym; in a commercial place, you're just building to a price point. For example, you'd never put something as good as the pivots at 15:50 in for fear of them being broken. More fundamentally, most of this equipment comes from small, pretty specialist, suppliers. If you were running a gym, or a chain, you'd just get a bulk order with Technogym. All that being said, it is pretty damn sick though.
Holy shit this has to be one of the most beautiful, aesthetically pleasing home gym facilities I’ve ever seen. Everything from all the amenities it has to offer, upper level cardio zone, bathroom, laundry room, big garage doors for natural lighting, powerful climate control units, top tier insulation, down to the color scheme on some of the best in class commercial grade equipment… I just can’t see a single thing I’d change about what you chose to do here Juji. This is just incredible. Congratulations, you deserve it.
I love that you’re transparent about how you earned the money and how much everything cost. It’s trendy to hate folks with money these days. Clearly you earned it through working your ass off over a long period of time. Good on you bro.
I have seen a cycling enthusiast's gym that was, rather unsurprisingly, pretty much the exact mirror-image of this one. It was, here are my bikes, here are my other bikes, here are my other, other bikes and here is a kettlebell, how on earth did that get in here?
Honestly when you talk about "feeling at home in a gym" i immediately remember my fist TKD dojong where I trained in well over twelve years in. Half my child and teen years was spent in that gym, I even helped instruct classes at that gym. Eventually, I moved away so going their was not an option anymore. But one day I looked them up to see how they were doing, only to find out they had closed down during the pandemic, and my heart immediately broke, and I cried. And to this day, no gym, no dojo has ever given me the feeling that gym has had. I feel spoiled, and I feel that Dojo has ruined all dojos and gyms for me. For it has set the bar of what I want from a gym to such a high standard that I don't believe anyone can ever replicate it.
Juji you are the kind of guy who tells us about your success and instead of being jealous, we are all pumped for you. Congrats on the home gym and success in your businesses.
In an environment where professional Fitness and strength culture seems to be increasingly monetizing shade, drama and PED-shaming, can we just take a moment to celebrate the success of a guy who's internet career has entirely been based on positivity , fun and being wholesome as fuck. You've been inspiring and entertaining everyone for years, and to see a dream like this come true for someone who deserves it, is a major restoral of balance in the force.
Stan Efferding is another bright light right now. He has a sense of humor about using PEDs and is open about it, and i'm seeing more and more coaches that are open about discussing PEDs with clients. So things are changing hopefully.
Unfortunately it’s the same world where people have to say, “can we just take a moment.....” Take as long as you like. Don’t worry about the rest of us.
I’ve been watching Juji for about 2 or 3 years now and I think this is the happiest I’ve ever seen him. Through all the ups and downs and PRs and collabs. In my opinion, you’ve made it. And now you’ll begin a new chapter that’ll be as good as it can because you’ll be doing it in a place you love. Keep making us all smile.
@@andrewjackson82 Again, echo bumpers. Check them out. They are the cheapest bumpers rogue has. They are durable as F. Never had an issue. And if you cant afford it, either cut back on take out, dump your gf, or get rid of a kid or two.
What happened to that guy's comment? Did he realize it was sarcasm and he felt stupid? For me personally, it took me 8 yrs to save up for my rogue rack plus 700lbs in bumpers. Buying and selling used gym equipment. Just because someone has something doesnt mean they got it over night. Holy shit people can be stupid and uneducated.
@@avinashtyagi2 We all start somewhere, ain’t nothing wrong or shameful about that Honestly, I wouldn’t want a space this big all to myself. I feel like it’s a waste, he at least has people over and film and such. A real good basement or garage with the stuff I need is good enough for me, I just wanna train!
damn juji got me tearing up at the end there, more character development than an anime!!!! Got me hyped up like LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!! can't wait for the next phase of the Jujimufu channel!!!
He really thought of everything. I hope all of us are able to build some small semblance of this for ourselves to bring our own guest-athletes to and have some great times moving big weight! Couldn't think of a better person to lead the way and inspire us than this dude right here.
This guy is crazy and absolutely down to earth and humble. Love his vibe as he's openly telling his viewers about his source of income. Not many fitness "influencers" will tell this so openly. Subscribed.
Wholeheartedly agree, it's someone who worked his ass off and back on again to get somewhere and now he gets to enjoy it, the attention to detail is amazing. And, now the fun begins :)
This is hands down the best gym I've ever seen... not just home gyms but better than all commercial gyms too. Also love how it took 30 mins to go through all the strength equipment but 5 seconds for the cardio.
People downvoting this are mad cause he hasn't installed a "Lunk Alarm" like their fav gym has. All kidding aside, it's hella awesome to see you living the dream Juji!
@Ben Kenobi with a lot of people living off of an inflated unemployment pay, and any fitness gear and weights are skyrocketed in value, it's nearly impossible to just buy your way to a home gym that's worth anything right now. The freaking plates can be hundreds for just a basic set, forget the equipment that the weights can be used for.
@Ben Kenobieven 500 bucks right now is not a lot for equipment lmao. I know a $500,000 professional level gym is not something we should strive for or even care for, but to say any moderate amount of money is viable right now without a stable good-paying job is disingenuous. You might be able to find deals and make small incremental progress, but a "basic" set of equipment (ie, barbell, 2 45's, 2 25's, 2 15's, and 2 5's) isn't cheap anymore. A cheap bar is at least $150, and it's like freaking $2 a lb for the cheapest iron weights, so at least $360 for just the lightest set of weights, which is easily over $500 for basically nothing. I have stones, cinder blocks, car tires, and a mishmash of random non-weightlifting bars that have more worth than that right now. Also, I have $0 to spend on equipment, and if I'm gonna buy a setup, I'm gonna do it right, which obviously isn't viable right now. Like I said, any home gym setup that is even worth the money isn't happening for a lot of people right now. You do know there is a governmentally induced economic collapse and unemployment rates, right? Finally, not everybody wants to spend their rainy day funds and extra cash on things like weights and equipment. That isn't a big priority. Ultimately, you could just do bodyweight stuff and call it free. If I had a few hundred or thousands stuck back in these times, I would not even consider buying overpriced weights right now. Get it free or don't get it at all. Weightlifting is not my life's goal, but if I could easily financially afford a home gym setup, I would set it up.
@Ben Kenobi I don't think this is a perfect comparison, cause even if you wanna go te cheapest way possible for recording music, you'll need at least a computer, a sound card, a microphone and speakers or headphones, at least 1000-2000$. But like others said, it's totally possible to use DIY weights that cost almost 0$ that will do almost exactly the same as expensive weights and machines. But I understand if you're a pro bodybuilder, that's another story, you probably enjoy buying expensive machines even if you know it's not necessary.
@@Hide_and_Tweak I've spent about $2,000 on my home gym. It's pretty bare bones but it's all you need - a power rack with a pull up bar, a bench, a weight lifting belt, a weighted plate belt, 2 barbells, 500lbs of weight, deadlift platform I built myself, and a dip station. Going to get a set of gymnastic rings here soon. Anyone and everyone can make good gains in a modest home gym, Obviously Juji's gym is extremely excessive - cool but excessive.
The quality of this video is insane. I usually don’t notice or comment on quality but this is 40 mins of great video and editing content. You are also as entertaining as always. The work you guys are putting in shows.
this is the greatest gym ever created. the machines.....this is pump mecca. The quality of his machines are way more important than anything else about the gym, and he has the total package to go along with it.
I thought 40 min. for a gym walk-through, but when it was over I wanted more. Great editing, all the extra clips, and the banter between the two are great. Juji talking and you just fill in when needed.
Seeing your dream gym come to fruition after all your hard work and dedication to your training and to your fans is awesome. You really pour your heart out in a humble way to show us what this project means to you. I really appreciate your attention to detail for all the products you've chosen and taking the time to explain what makes them unique. You have a genuine interest in sharing with your fans that doesn't come off as pretentious. Also it's great to hear your wife and her support of your pursuits in the videos. You deserve the success that comes your way. Keep putting out great content.
I remember seeing clips of you as some beefed up crazy guy doing flips and shit, then I actually started watching your vids. Its good to see you getting to do what you love fully and completely. Cheers
Man the quality of the production of this video, the detail of showing every piece of equipment. THE BEST gym tour I have seen in my life. Would love to see more gyms do this with soo much detail.
Very happy for the Jujimufu crew on this. I know this was a HUGE milestone both personally and professionally for you, and I'm so happy you were able to get the whole vision to come together. Cheers to the start and continuation of something great!
Just getting back into working out and I'm so glad I found you and your brother. You guys are chill, funny, and I've learned a ton. Honestly getting into fitness as an adult is very intimidating; there's a lot to learn and the culture can be kinda harsh. Thanks for being a teacher and helping us noobs out. You're much appreciated.
Same here. I thought a had a fairly decent understanding about gym equipment and working out but after listening to him I realize I still have a lot to learn haha.
I loved what Sam said, "This gym is a reflection of you" it is. You deserve this so much. It feels like you achieved everything you wanted in life and now you can just chill, invite friends over and have fun. I wish some day I could be at your spot.
Watching this video made me feel like I've watched my older brother making a gym and now it's finally finished. The smile on Juji's face while presenting was so good to watch. Cheers brother and wish you luck on your future endeavors
As someone who works out at planet fitness, this totally makes me want to switch gyms. The gym you built is awesome as hell , keep up the insane work you do man
I've been following the channel for over three years and this feels like the culmination of everything you have been working towards for your fitness goals, your business goals, and our entertainment. I think this channel is one of the best and I hope the best for you and Sam. Congrats buddy.
I've slowly come to realise why I like your videos so much. You're an amazing story teller and you have fantastic stories that I look forward to hearing all the time. The story of your life, how you built your gym, etc. Keep up the amazing work Juji, I look forward to hearing more of your stories for a long time to come.
no words to express how amazing this gym is, like honestly. This is the culmination of years and years of hard work, good fucking shit juji. Now, how much rent will you charge me to live in the gym?
Crazy that I've been watching Juji for 5 years and just how far he's come in that time. Amazing stuff and super inspirational, seeing this gym finally come together is jaw dropping.
best video I've seen all year so far.. I had a business which I turned an old doctors office into a small restaurant. Seeing results and the final product after all the hoop jumping with permits etc - amazing feeling. congratulations on everything you have achieved and blessing to more to come.
I’ve never liked youtubers humblebragging, showing off, or bragging. But this for you? You definitely deserve it. It feels good seeing good people do well and gives me hope I can succeed for myself in the things I strive for. Can’t wait to see more from you man
Juji, just some feedback about this video -- it was SUPER ENGAGING. Thanks for talking to us constantly in the video. Great introduction and catchup for those who might not follow you a lot (or who didn't follow you in the beginning). Understanding the *WHY* behind a lot of your choices is also super helpful.
I appreciate you including a little bit about your background. As a new viewer, I wish more creators would do that for more of their videos. definitely made me appreciate the content more knowing a little more about who you are.
Only standard iron lb plates have gone up. Ironically, calibrated steel kg plates have gone down in price because of gyms closing and everyone wanting just any old plates they can find. And don't expect prices to go down any time soon with more people investing in home gyms and the iron shortage. Ironically I have been finding even Eleiko kg competition plates for cheaper/lb than regular ass standard barbell plates.
This is the most aesthetically pleasing gym I've ever seen. You did an absolute perfect job on nailing the colours. Gold and black inside a large white room, so nice man. Such a good looking gym. If heaven had a gym, it would look like that. I feel an All Stars: Legends of Body Building coming along. Terrific job man, honestly and truly. This gym trumps anything I've ever seen.
Congratulations son, Sam and you so much deserve this awesome gym, so many years, so many great memories. It’s been a long journey and you both have earned this gym. Sam’s mom was truly invaluable to this project. I like the name “GymHome” as well. Can’t wait to see it. I want to enjoy a nice cup of coffee with you sitting around that fire pit 👍 I want to try out that vertical leg press machine…your gym is like the “Baskin-Robbins” of home gyms, so many “flavors” of machines to try out !!! Wow !!! BTW, your journey is far from being over.
I don’t know why I came here - my mom just passed away, and it was nice to watch the videos and your personality. Cheered me up. Lookin to start a home gym soon. Keep up good work
Nothing more energising and engaging than people who are genuinely grateful for their achievements and work. Although it takes individuals to achieve their personal goals. Those goals are more often than not shared by those around them. It is the gratitude that that individual displays towards those that helped them along the way that demonstrates the depth of character the individual possess. Well done Juji and Sam and the whole team.
It was very classy to start off the video by explaining your background, everyone starts somewhere and your story is one of progression from the ground up.
I came here after I saw Brian shaw's home gym, no offense to him but this blows his out of the water. This is the greatest gym ever created. The machines.... they are the best machines I've ever seen on the planet. You really made this gym absolute perfection. I'm surprised it only cost $500,000 haha you should call this gym pump mecca or something it has the greatest hypertrophy setup on the planet.
I am so proud of you juji. I have watched your content since you were in the dining room gym and to see how you have accomplished your goals and dreamed big and visualized it... gives me hope for myself and others. You are a great inspiration. Thank you.
I like how he just brushes over the fact that he was a biotech manager. That sounds like an amazing job and something that isn't necessarily delved into on here. I wish I knew more
If you go back in his videos, around the point of him moving out of his apartment into his first rental home, he goes more in depth about what he did. I feel like it’s called “I quit my job!!” Or something.
I remember when I first started watching you, you still had your apartment gym and that gave me motivation to start training in my child room (was 13 at the time) with just a pair of dumbells and a rubber band. It has been amazing to watch your journey and all I can say is congrats and thank you for being such an inspiration to just do what you love!
Really impressive gym! I love the attention to detail and the tought that went into it. I usually don't do any machine exercises, but a lot of your machines are really convenient and fit into a power based workout. Enjoy it man, you deserve it!
Nothing like the feeling of seeing someone you admire so much achieve something as great as this that brings them happiness and fulfillment. Cheers mate.
Sam’s voiceover and interactions are perfect 👍🏻. They subtly make segues, and add detail, sometimes repetition. The timing is so good; it’s like telepathy. Also, she has a very pleasant voice, and at the right volume. § I hadn’t tuned in for several months, so she is a great surprise.
The fact that the entire facility was "only" half a mil is mind boggling. You could rent a studio and buy a single squat rack and leg press for that kinda money where I'm at
Oh wow. It is grand! I’m catching up again on videos. So happy for you guys because this is a culmination of so much hard work and love. I know you will and are enjoying every bit of it. Much love to you, Sam, Mufudad, and all.
I like how Juji keeps everything fun and visits people of all different schools of thought. He even went to train with Kyriakos Grizzly in Greece! Lots of good content over the years.
Thank you all for the long term and continued support! Let me know who and what kind of content you'd like to see come in and out of this new gym!
Hey Juji, do you ever worry about health/joint problems later in life stemming from carrying all that extra muscle weight?
You wont even let me get the first comment. But we love you
This "home gym" build has been great to watch & i have been waiting for this vid! Thanks Jon.
Can you bring back john haack, clarence, and ranson
We want Bugez in every video
This man's home gym is more equipped than any mainstream gym
Yes but I'll bet you're not surprised. Afterall, this is someone's dream gym; in a commercial place, you're just building to a price point.

All that being said, it is pretty damn sick though.
I’m not kidding it’s bigger and better than the gym I pay for
👍👍👍

Juji’s gym is better than every local gym in my area combined.
His gym is better than any gym I've ever been in
My local is a Planet Fitness so... yeah.
That's because his was made by a lifter and not someone who wants to make money.
He’ll have to install an old guy blow drying his nads if he wants it to be like a real gym.
This explains why I’ve not been able to buy any weights during lockdown.

The quality of this video is insane. I usually don’t notice or comment on quality but this is 40 mins of great video and editing content. You are also as entertaining as always. The work you guys are putting in shows.
This gym is beautiful. I strive to build myself a personal gym like this!
this is the greatest gym ever created. the machines.....this is pump mecca. The quality of his machines are way more important than anything else about the gym, and he has the total package to go along with it.
In a world full of needless conflict and imaginary slights, thank God for someone like Juji.
"So what does your gym specialize in?"
Juji: "Yes."
Crazy to think I used to watch “angry juji”, “nuclear summer” and “shit hits the fan” and that guy now has this facility. Great effort.
“You can read minds!”
How did you not know he was going places after shit hit the fan??
The best home gym ive ever seen. It looks like he put his heart into his beautiful layout.
I thought 40 min. for a gym walk-through, but when it was over I wanted more. Great editing, all the extra clips, and the banter between the two are great. Juji talking and you just fill in when needed.
The contrast between calm, collected and professional juji and HYPE Juji is awesome.
The Rock needs to step it up. Iron Paradise has nothing on Juji's new Playhouse! 🤩
His travels with him though doesn't it?
@@dangleeszak2323 yeah he ships the stuff sometimes
Seeing your dream gym come to fruition after all your hard work and dedication to your training and to your fans is awesome. You really pour your heart out in a humble way to show us what this project means to you. I really appreciate your attention to detail for all the products you've chosen and taking the time to explain what makes them unique. You have a genuine interest in sharing with your fans that doesn't come off as pretentious. Also it's great to hear your wife and her support of your pursuits in the videos. You deserve the success that comes your way. Keep putting out great content.
I remember seeing clips of you as some beefed up crazy guy doing flips and shit, then I actually started watching your vids. Its good to see you getting to do what you love fully and completely. Cheers
So many bars I haven't even seen in the ninja gyms!🤘😅🔥🔥🔥
Ive slept in that gym. It was fabulous and beautiful!!!
As a Vanderbilt Alumnus, this black and gold theme is outstanding. Love it!

If thats not motivation then they can just leave.
Man the quality of the production of this video, the detail of showing every piece of equipment. THE BEST gym tour I have seen in my life. Would love to see more gyms do this with soo much detail.
I don't really know how you could substantially improve this gym. It is god-tier.
Congrats Juji, Sam, etc. This puts a huge smile on my face.
Best gym I have ever seen!!! Talking about hand picking equipment!!! Unreal!!
Very happy for the Jujimufu crew on this. I know this was a HUGE milestone both personally and professionally for you, and I'm so happy you were able to get the whole vision to come together. Cheers to the start and continuation of something great!
Love Jujimufu's energy, breaks the stereotype of juicers rage. Always love the good vibes from this beast of a human
It’s like he prepared his whole life for this moment… this guy is awesome!
Just getting back into working out and I'm so glad I found you and your brother. You guys are chill, funny, and I've learned a ton.
Honestly getting into fitness as an adult is very intimidating; there's a lot to learn and the culture can be kinda harsh. Thanks for being a teacher and helping us noobs out. You're much appreciated.
Same here. I thought a had a fairly decent understanding about gym equipment and working out but after listening to him I realize I still have a lot to learn haha.
Juji's Barbells cost more than my entire homegym.
Juji’s chalk bowl cost more than my Craigslist squat rack.
Juji may have more weight in barbells than I have in plates in my homegym
I think his dumbbells cost more than my house
he prolly got paid 3 times the value of each of them for the product placement so dont feel too bad about it lol
@@moodfm5673 That is not how that works
I loved what Sam said, "This gym is a reflection of you" it is. You deserve this so much. It feels like you achieved everything you wanted in life and now you can just chill, invite friends over and have fun. I wish some day I could be at your spot.
Well put!
Watching this video made me feel like I've watched my older brother making a gym and now it's finally finished. The smile on Juji's face while presenting was so good to watch. Cheers brother and wish you luck on your future endeavors
As someone who works out at planet fitness, this totally makes me want to switch gyms. The gym you built is awesome as hell , keep up the insane work you do man
I've been following the channel for over three years and this feels like the culmination of everything you have been working towards for your fitness goals, your business goals, and our entertainment. I think this channel is one of the best and I hope the best for you and Sam. Congrats buddy.

@@barongerhardt this sounds so sad
@@TomasJansen05 It is sad. Most people I know that bought a new one regret it.
Boiler Room had the best line on this.

I am sexually attracted to this gym, holy shit. Great work, Juji!
Thanks Jake! I think this is what you'd call Gymcore. 🤣
Last place I thought I'd see you Jake.
You're weird
Gym perversion dude
Askitoamilxhr
Such a positive guy
Yeap! Juji is the real deal!! 💪😁👌
I've slowly come to realise why I like your videos so much. You're an amazing story teller and you have fantastic stories that I look forward to hearing all the time. The story of your life, how you built your gym, etc. Keep up the amazing work Juji, I look forward to hearing more of your stories for a long time to come.
no words to express how amazing this gym is, like honestly. This is the culmination of years and years of hard work, good fucking shit juji. Now, how much rent will you charge me to live in the gym?
Crazy that I've been watching Juji for 5 years and just how far he's come in that time. Amazing stuff and super inspirational, seeing this gym finally come together is jaw dropping.
best video I've seen all year so far.. I had a business which I turned an old doctors office into a small restaurant. Seeing results and the final product after all the hoop jumping with permits etc - amazing feeling. congratulations on everything you have achieved and blessing to more to come.
I am so stoked that our boy has done well enough for himself to build his half-million dollar dream gym. Get some!
Didn't know you sold pants, copping a pair now man best of luck to you!
I’ve never liked youtubers humblebragging, showing off, or bragging.
But this for you? You definitely deserve it. It feels good seeing good people do well and gives me hope I can succeed for myself in the things I strive for. Can’t wait to see more from you man
You are an absolute breath of fresh air in the industry. Love your being and your content.
Juji, just some feedback about this video -- it was SUPER ENGAGING. Thanks for talking to us constantly in the video. Great introduction and catchup for those who might not follow you a lot (or who didn't follow you in the beginning). Understanding the *WHY* behind a lot of your choices is also super helpful.
I appreciate you including a little bit about your background. As a new viewer, I wish more creators would do that for more of their videos. definitely made me appreciate the content more knowing a little more about who you are.
Jujimufu: I have a home gym better than most commercial gyms
Me: I found a guy to sell me my first pair of 45lbs plates at an affordable price
I’ll buy your 45lb plates for more than you got them please
Do they cost that much? I've never even thought about it.
@@adamcarlton9897 the pandemic has made people price gouge the living hell out of gym equipment.
Only standard iron lb plates have gone up. Ironically, calibrated steel kg plates have gone down in price because of gyms closing and everyone wanting just any old plates they can find. And don't expect prices to go down any time soon with more people investing in home gyms and the iron shortage. Ironically I have been finding even Eleiko kg competition plates for cheaper/lb than regular ass standard barbell plates.
That's where he started!
This is the best home gym I have ever seen, I would give anything to have half that size. Equipment is absolutely amazing. Its something to behold.
This is the most aesthetically pleasing gym I've ever seen. You did an absolute perfect job on nailing the colours. Gold and black inside a large white room, so nice man. Such a good looking gym. If heaven had a gym, it would look like that.
I feel an All Stars: Legends of Body Building coming along. Terrific job man, honestly and truly. This gym trumps anything I've ever seen.
It's got no atmosphere.
The fact that you did an iron cross at one point in your life is literally insane. Way to go!
Congratulations son, Sam and you so much deserve this awesome gym, so many years, so many great memories. It’s been a long journey and you both have earned this gym. Sam’s mom was truly invaluable to this project. I like the name “GymHome” as well. Can’t wait to see it. I want to enjoy a nice cup of coffee with you sitting around that fire pit 👍 I want to try out that vertical leg press machine…your gym is like the “Baskin-Robbins” of home gyms, so many “flavors” of machines to try out !!! Wow !!! BTW, your journey is far from being over.
❤❤❤
I don’t know why I came here - my mom just passed away, and it was nice to watch the videos and your personality. Cheered me up. Lookin to start a home gym soon. Keep up good work
Nothing more energising and engaging than people who are genuinely grateful for their achievements and work.
Although it takes individuals to achieve their personal goals. Those goals are more often than not shared by those around them. It is the gratitude that that individual displays towards those that helped them along the way that demonstrates the depth of character the individual possess.
Well done Juji and Sam and the whole team.
The Ronnie Coleman TV really brings the whole place together.
I think Jay Cutler's "Ripped to shreds" would suit Juji down to the ground.
ill admit it. this is a bit nicer than my half rack setup
Just a bit lol
It MIGHT be nicer than my setup which consists of ... just resistance bands and a workout mat
I got a half filled bottle of water somewhere.
I really appreciate how you knew all the technical aspects of the building
Congrats man! Love your channel. It’s a gym you definitely deserve!
Never thought I'd get sentimental about another person's home gym before... Loved seeing this coming together!
It was very classy to start off the video by explaining your background, everyone starts somewhere and your story is one of progression from the ground up.
Good eye.
I came here after I saw Brian shaw's home gym, no offense to him but this blows his out of the water. This is the greatest gym ever created. The machines.... they are the best machines I've ever seen on the planet. You really made this gym absolute perfection. I'm surprised it only cost $500,000 haha you should call this gym pump mecca or something it has the greatest hypertrophy setup on the planet.
I am so proud of you juji. I have watched your content since you were in the dining room gym and to see how you have accomplished your goals and dreamed big and visualized it... gives me hope for myself and others. You are a great inspiration. Thank you.
I like how he just brushes over the fact that he was a biotech manager. That sounds like an amazing job and something that isn't necessarily delved into on here. I wish I knew more
If you go back in his videos, around the point of him moving out of his apartment into his first rental home, he goes more in depth about what he did. I feel like it’s called “I quit my job!!” Or something.
Im happy he was able to quit to pursue his real dreams
No, not necessarily.
@@larjkok1184 its cool to me. Im kinda into biotech
I remember when I first started watching you, you still had your apartment gym and that gave me motivation to start training in my child room (was 13 at the time) with just a pair of dumbells and a rubber band.
It has been amazing to watch your journey and all I can say is congrats and thank you for being such an inspiration to just do what you love!
Really impressive gym! I love the attention to detail and the tought that went into it. I usually don't do any machine exercises, but a lot of your machines are really convenient and fit into a power based workout. Enjoy it man, you deserve it!
Nothing like the feeling of seeing someone you admire so much achieve something as great as this that brings them happiness and fulfillment. Cheers mate.
The only things more awesome than this gym are Juji and Sam. So happy for you two. The best is yet to come.
Sam’s voiceover and interactions are perfect 👍🏻. They subtly make segues, and add detail, sometimes repetition. The timing is so good; it’s like telepathy. Also, she has a very pleasant voice, and at the right volume. § I hadn’t tuned in for several months, so she is a great surprise.
Yeah Buddy, that TV aint nothin but a peanut!!
When are you gonna visit??
Yeah buddy, you are really commenting everywhere WoW
The fact that the entire facility was "only" half a mil is mind boggling. You could rent a studio and buy a single squat rack and leg press for that kinda money where I'm at
He obviously got a price cut for all the advertising he will do on those machines. Panatta equipment + shipping we're around 5 k for a single piece
Lol
I know the feel, that'd run a couple mil where I'm from (Hawaii). Let me guess you from Hawaii, Cali, or New York?
Invite the Dutch Giant. He needs giant machines, being 7'2".
Hell yeah i 2nd this
Great idea!
Juji-start your timecodes in the description with 0:00 to get them to show up on the video time bar. Gym is looking great!!
Thanks I made the change!
Oh wow. It is grand! I’m catching up again on videos. So happy for you guys because this is a culmination of so much hard work and love. I know you will and are enjoying every bit of it. Much love to you, Sam, Mufudad, and all.
A home gym thats the size of a house. Gotta love it
That's not the size of a house, is the size of a whole hood
Panatta is the Bugatti of bodybuilding machines: expensive af, rare, elegant, and works great
Lucky enough to have some of their machines at my humble gym in Bradford, UK. Recognised them as soon as I saw the thumbnail for this.
@@longdrums what’s your gym called and how much is a membership ?
@@emmanuelmartinez6210 hey man. It's called The Pride up in Low Moor. £25 a month.
@@longdrums ayyyy Bradford
@@GramdalfFGC or should we say Bratfud
Literally no one deserves something like this, like Juji does. He's an incredible person who just wants everyone around him to succeed.
Anyone who can afford it that didnt get their money from being a hedgfund or being evil deserves it. But youre right, Juji is amazing.
I like how Juji keeps everything fun and visits people of all different schools of thought. He even went to train with Kyriakos Grizzly in Greece! Lots of good content over the years.
