I cannot escape Ashton Hall. The viral ‘fitness influencer’ has somehow managed to infiltrate all forms of social media with dumbfounding behind-the-scenes videos of a day in his life.
No matter where you turn, the ridiculously jacked 20-something-year-old will find a way onto your feed. But who is he and what does he do? Nobody really seems to know…
More than eight and a half million people follow Ashton Hall on Instagram. His account, @ashtonhallofficial, features more than 1,100 posts over the last few years. He promotes himself as an entrepreneur, gives glory to God in his bio and claims that “you can reinvent your entire life in 1 year.”
Hall did exactly that in 2019. His college football career came to an end, which forced him to enter the greater workforce. He started his career as a trainer not long thereafter and eventually blew up into a viral sensation on social media. The rest is history.
If I am to understand correctly, his current business model (beyond social media) is based around remote life and fitness coaching. Something like that.
For the ones who are asking what I do for a living…
My day job: I coach the fitness coaches who are looking to build their brands and scale their online coaching businesses to 6 figures +

However, Ashton Hall is best known for his minute-by-minute videos that peel back the curtain on what he does in a day. They always start with his face in a bowl of ice water. They often feature unseen women who perform various tasks for him, like cooking or packing his bag.!
His various routines are pretty wild. One such video made its way to X and quickly became the primary topic of conversation on the internet.
Hall begins his morning routine just before 4:00 a.m. From there, he rubs his face with a banana peel, does some pushups on the balcony while contemplating life, dives into a pool that does not allow diving, runs at a high speed on the treadmill, east breakfast and gets down to work. The morning routine ends around 9:30 a.m.

An unavoidable worldwide discourse about Ashton Hall has since proceeded to unfold on social media. The internet cannot stop talking about this specific video.
I do not know what parts of this guy’s life are real. I don’t know what is for show. Nor do I care to find out.
What I do know for sure is that Hall used to play FCS football at Alcorn State in Mississippi. Hall ran the ball only six times for eight yards in five games over two seasons. Although his college football career did not work out as he planned, his high school highlight tape is still a fun watch— especially knowing who he became and what he does now. A blast from the past, if you will.
That guy, the 5-foot-1, 205-pound running back, became one of the most-followed male fitness influencers on Instagram. So who is Ashton Hall and what does he do? I still don’t know but it appears to be working. Your guess is as good as mine.
