Ashton Hall’s morning routine has taken the internet by storm, sparking a wave of jokes and parodies for being “unrealistic.”
Fitness influencer and health coach Ashton Hall has become an unexpected internet sensation after sharing his meticulously crafted morning routine.
Originally posted on Instagram in early February 2025, the video shows Hall starting his day at 3:50 A.M. with a series of unconventional habits.
While intended as motivational content, the routine quickly went viral after being reposted to X in March, where it became the subject of widespread jokes, memes, and ridicule for its impracticality.
What does Ashton Hall’s routine involve?
Hall’s routine begins with him waking up before 4 A.M. and removing tape from his mouth – a technique that encourages nasal breathing. He then brushes his teeth, exercises for 20 minutes, journals, and immerses his face in a bowl of ice water.
After this, he heads to the gym, swims, and returns home to prepare for his online coaching sessions by repeating the ice water dunk. Throughout the video, Hall exclusively drinks Saratoga Spring Water and even rubs a banana peel on his face, claiming it promotes healthy skin.
The internet reacts
Hall’s Instagram Reel amassed over 157 million views and 6 million likes. However, the routine truly caught fire when reposted to X on March 20 by the account tipsformenx, where it garnered a staggering 553.1 million views and over 142,600 likes.
Memes and jokes quickly flooded the platform, as users found humor in Hall’s extreme habits and intense dedication. One viral response came from user kirawontmiss, who joked, “Bro woke up at 4 A.M. to spend 6 hours bullsh*tting,” receiving over 459,000 likes.
Another user, Koffy_9, shared a parody clip mimicking fitness influencers’ routines. Captioned, “Crying cuz this just appeared on my TL,” the post quickly gained traction, amassing over 405,000 likes.
Memes also highlighted Hall’s frequent ice-water dunks and exaggerated productivity. On March 21, user AlpelDokkan shared screenshots of Hall diving during a swim session, captioned, “THIS IS DESTROYING ME BROOOOOO HE FLOATED FOR 4 MINUTES,” earning 828,000 likes.
Another post showed a shopping cart filled with Saratoga Spring Water and bananas, captioned, “Am I forgetting anything?” which racked up 700,000 likes.
The meme has since become an inside joke across X, with users posting pictures of water bottles, bananas, and ice to represent Hall’s eccentric habits. Meanwhile, other creators have parodied his routine, amassing millions of views.
It’s at the point where Primo Brands, Saratoga’s parent company, has seen a significant jump in valuation over the past week or so.
At the time of writing, MarketWatch estimates that it’ll be worth $33.27 a share when the stock market opens Monday, up from $29.89 on March 10. Primo Brands is a large company, so it’s not as if this is the only reason their stock has been favored. However, it’s hard to deny that this meme hasn’t turned into a massive source of free marketing for them.
Despite the memes, Hall, who boasts 8.7 million followers on Instagram, remains unbothered, continuing to share variations of his morning rituals – each featuring the now-iconic ice dunk.
