Ashton Hall, a health coach and fitness influencer, has recently found himself at the center of online scrutiny after his ‘morning routine’ video gained widespread attention, resulting in a wave of memes and commentary.
This surge of interest occurred over the weekend of March 22, when Hall shared footage of his extensive morning rituals, which start at 3 AM and conclude with his workday beginning at 9 AM. The routine, which includes a series of fitness exercises and self-care practices, drew both admiration and skepticism.
Critics noted peculiar elements of his video, such as the possible presence of a personal assistant or girlfriend serving him meals, alongside his ambitious statements during a Zoom call with a client that sparked additional ridicule online. The combination of his workflow and the incongruity of his routine has made him a target for memes that criticize not just Hall but the larger trend of extravagant morning routines popular among influencers.
Ashton Hall addresses the internet’s backlash
In response to the flood of reactions to his video, Hall expressed his disbelief, referring to the situation as “nonsense” and accusing others of imitating his originality. He emphasized a message directed at content creators, urging them to identify whether they wish to lead or follow within their respective niches.
“Many videos imitating mine are circulating, and I want to address the creators tired of having their work stolen,” he stated. “It’s essential to make a choice: become a leader or choose to be a follower.”
Hall acknowledged that he previously reacted defensively to others replicating his style, but he proceeded to offer a philosophical perspective. Referencing his faith, he pointed out that many followers are drawn to successful figures, using the example of Jesus to illustrate his point about receiving respect for good intentions and positive contributions.
His remarks have not been embraced positively, as social media users have pushed back with even more memes, reiterating their amusement and skepticism regarding his elevated self-image.
Comments such as “This man did not invent getting ready in the morning,” and “Did he really compare himself to Jesus?” highlight the humorous responses to Hall’s insistence on originality.
Interestingly, the virality of Hall’s routine had unexpected effects, even contributing to a rise in market valuation for Saratoga Spring Water’s parent company, Primo Brands, likely influenced by the influx of social media discussions surrounding the video.
