DJ Khaled launched Ashton Hall as his trainer in an Instagram post

According to Complex, DJ Khaled previously joked that he didn’t consider it "losing weight," but rather just "getting rid of it," because he believed in always winning. He thanked Ashton Hall for his time and praised his viral running videos, saying they inspired him from the moment they met.

Khaled recalled asking Ashton Hall to bring out a black truck and some workout gear, like a vest and athletic tape, so they could capture the moment together. Hall replied that it had all happened less than a day earlier.

On May 21, 2025, DJ Khaled shared an Instagram post that featured him and Ashton Hall. In the caption, he wrote:

“Today decided to go to the gym ! Meet my trainer Spring is here summer is near.”

DJ Khaled was a guest on The Dr. Oz Show, where he explained that he didn’t believe in making excuses, even with his busy schedule, and aimed to work out for at least 30 minutes a day.

He joked that he already saw himself as a s*x symbol. He believed that before making any major decisions in life or career, it was important to feel good, whether exercising or getting a fresh haircut.

During the conversation, Dr. Oz brought up Khaled's well-known phrase about "they," referring to people who try to bring others down. Khaled said the key to success was avoiding such negative individuals altogether.
