He Became a Father and Got in the Best Shape of His Life

Mason Upton didn’t just lose 44.6 pounds during the #IWANTABZ2025 Contest—he gained a new identity. In the final stretch of the contest, Mason’s life flipped: he became a dad. Even with no gym, no track, and no predictable schedule, he showed up every single day.

While many would hit pause, Mason adapted. He stayed dialed into all four pillars of CoryG Fitness, never missing his daily 800-meter lunges—even while in the hospital for his son’s birth. He pushed his body under 10% body fat and reached a level of leanness he’d never experienced before.

But it wasn’t just physical. Mason launched a business, consumed hours of Lunge & Learn content, and dialed into financial literacy and fatherhood. When his son was born, his “why” became real—and it drove him to a whole new level.
