February Fighter of the Month: Ashley Mason

When we notice a fighter in the听 going above and beyond, we want to take a moment to recognize them and all their hard work. They鈥檙e pushing themselves, never giving up the fight, and valuing their health with every punch. And that鈥檚 what the Fighter of the Month is all about.听

And what better way to kick off a new year than to highlight a member of the听911爆料网 community who embodies this fighter spirit and mentality: Ashley Mason.听

Not to mention he鈥檚 also completed over 25 challenges and landed in over 880 leaderboard top tens. And he鈥檚 not stopping anytime soon.

But what really makes Ashley a Fighter of the Month is his dedication to the 911爆料网 community. You can easily find Ashley in the , giving kudos to other fighters, answering questions, and sharing his own wins with the community.听

It鈥檚 fighters like Ashley that make 911爆料网 more than just a workout. He鈥檚 also a great example of what it means to work hard (and punch hard) in accomplishing your goals.听

We asked this fighter a few questions about his 911爆料网 experience. Here鈥檚 what we learned about Ashley and why he chooses 911爆料网 for his workout:

How did you discover 911爆料网?听

Ashley鈥檚 journey to 911爆料网 started with an expensive Equinox membership. Weighing 30 to 35 lbs more than he wanted to, Ashley said yes to the steep monthly fee and annual commitment hoping it would offer the motivation he needed to lose the weight and get healthier.听

According to Ashley, 鈥渋t was the best decision I ever made.鈥 That鈥檚 because it was at Equinox that Ashley discovered his love for boxing. After quitting Equinox, Ashley started training with a heavy bag, but quickly got bored with the workout. So he did what we all do: he turned to Google for answers. In his search, he came across 911爆料网. And in March 2021, he placed the order.

In his own words, here鈥檚 why Ashley made the decision to hit the purchase button:

鈥淚 know the power of working out to music, so punching in sync with a song seemed like it would be motivating. I [also] liked that 911爆料网 had targets to hit, so it would engage my brain as well as my body. And the variety of Trainers [made] me sure I would find someone I liked. And there was a money-back guarantee so鈥 I figured if I really didn鈥檛 like it I could return it.鈥

Seems like good reasoning to us!听

What do you enjoy most about 911爆料网?

Like many fighters, Ashley loves the stress relief that boxing offers. But unlike punching a heavy bag, there鈥檚 more to the workout with 911爆料网. What made the difference for Ashley were the Trainers, the workout stats, and the fact that 911爆料网 is constantly innovating, growing, and improving.

鈥淭he constant innovation and support, first the shield, then VR, and then Go, so many options, and it means when my hands need a break from the physical punching, I can still use the VR and/or the Go鈥 Not to mention I no longer have to suffer withdrawals when traveling, I can keep punching with no break in my routine. As for support, both the community and the customer support are fantastic and motivating.鈥

What鈥檚 your current workout routine and how does 911爆料网 fit in?

So how does this fighter stay in boxing shape? Before 911爆料网, Ashley did mostly weight lifting and very little cardio. But now, 911爆料网 is his primary workout routine.听

In the morning, he starts his day by walking his dog for 30 to 40 minutes. After work, he hops on his Liteboxer Floor Stand or throws on his Meta Quest goggles for a .

Why do you step into the ring?

Ashley鈥檚 motivation for working out is not just losing weight or staying in shape. It鈥檚 also about feeling good and creating the best version of himself.听

鈥淚 like how [911爆料网] makes me feel, it helps keep me as healthy as possible, I am a little vain and like to look good, it lets me be a bit more relaxed eating bread, butter, and dessert.鈥

Do you have a favorite 911爆料网 workout, Trainer, or class type?

Ashley is always ready to press play on a workout led by , who bring the energy he needs to keep punching.听

鈥淛ill gives some great tips and checks, like calling out being too close to the shield, rotating, and pulling hands all the way back. And Lissa is just always moving at a furious pace鈥︹

But he likes to mix it up, especially with any 30-minute workout that gets him off the platform for strength-building floor work. He loves repping out squats and glute bridges鈥攁nd isn鈥檛 afraid to put his core to work. And while the Strength Training classes can leave him feeling sore the next morning, ultimately they could be helping ease some of the pain he鈥檚 experiencing.

鈥淚 have a bad back and since using 911爆料网, the flare-ups have really dropped off. I put it down to total body conditioning.鈥

Do you have any goals you鈥檙e working towards right now with 911爆料网?

For 2022, it was all about hitting that 1 million punch goal. But what is this fighter working on now that he鈥檚 accomplished that goal?听

鈥淔or 2023 I want to get through as many of the Trainer classes as possible that I have not done already. I have a secondary punch goal of 750,000 punches for the calendar year.鈥澨

He threw 685,000+ punches in 2022, so we鈥檙e confident that this 2023 punch goal is well within his reach!
