- If I hit a punch that I've been struggling with, and Nikki's, you know, trying to teach me a punch, and I'm not getting it, I'm not getting it, and when I do get it, I usually do a little, (upbeat music) a little salsa move or a little ballerina dance, something that is like completely the opposite of what we're doing, and it's incredibly feminine. And I'm like, "Oh, okay. I'm that girl too." (laughs) Hi, I'm Adria Arjona, and I play Celeste in "Onslaught." And today I'm gonna show you how I trained to save the day in that trailer park. (uplifting music) (Adria laughs) (upbeat music) I think strong is not necessarily a physical thing, but it's more of an internal thing. I mean, strong is every single woman in my family. That's what I consider strong. Strong is integrity, is staying true to yourself, not falling into comparisons, and just following your own beat, I guess. (laughs) I feel strong when I do that. (chuckles) I've been boxing for years now, and it's, I don't know, I think it's something that allows me to get out of my head. You have to be so present at boxing because you can get punched. Boxing has made me so confident. Nothing makes you more confident than punching something, to be honest, and hitting it hard, and hearing that pad, you're like, "Hell yeah, I'm powerful." I met Nikki 10 years ago. We've been training 10 years. Damn, that's a long, that's a long time, dude. (laughs) So not only is he my boxing coach, he's also a dear, dear friend of mine. Nikki, how long have we been training for? Like, 10? Yeah, 10 years. I was like, am I being too Latina and exaggerating the out of it? (laughs) (upbeat music) I think boxing has taught me that I can learn things quick, so it makes me feel really confident when learning lines or learning certain combos, or even doing stunts. I'm like, I feel more confident because throughout the years I've been able to learn these combos, they stay with me. And yeah, when you show up to set and you have to do a stunt choreography, I just feel strong. Having confidence in being good at boxing, I think that takes years, and I think Nikki is specifically good at teaching that and evoking that, and his energy is incredibly beautiful and so contagious that he just makes you feel confident. So when I played Celeste, all I needed was that confidence, because those guys are way bigger than me. If I'm not training for a movie, you know, I'm trying to box three times a week. I'll do some weightlifting here and there. If I'm working out for a movie, which is actually what, I'm training now for a specific project, I am, you're going to hate this, this is horrible. Do not do this at home. Please, eat your sandwich. I wake up, I do cardio for about 45 minutes, and then I do weightlifting for about two hours. Then after the workout, I'll have a bite to eat. Nikki will come, we'll box for six rounds, and then I eat again. And then I eat, and I eat, and I go to sleep. (chuckles) It's a job. I'm really enjoying it. I'm enjoying the transformation, but it's hard work. I've never felt stronger, but it's hard. (laughs) Well, I think the excitement of playing the woman I'm playing gives me everything I need to wake up. Physically, it's exhausting, but it's all for the better good. The better good? Is that English? The greater good. The greater good. Yes, baby! (laughs) English second language, baby. As you can tell, I am shaking, but look at that. Battle woods, right there. Proof. My inspiration is to be a better version of myself than I was the day before. I think as you're weightlifting, you start, you know, I started with 10 pounds, and I could never imagine a world where I would be able to be doing that exercise with, you know, 50 pounds or squatting 180 pounds. Like, I can never fathom that. I think the progression and seeing how your body transforms, and seeing that you're just getting stronger and stronger is really exciting. And then when it comes to boxing, what excites me is how things are starting to become a little bit more of muscle memory than they were at the beginning. At the beginning, it was like wonky, and now it flows a little bit better. And then it stops being sort of a physical appearance. Oh, does this muscle show or that muscle show? It's more about what my body can actually do. (upbeat music) Win, lose, oh I'm losing to Michael. David Corenswet is knocking me out, for sure. I mean, he's Superman, and I'm going to beat the out of Glen Powell. (laughs) I love you, Glen. (laughs) He's little. He's a little boy. (offbeat motivating music) All right. So today, I'm wearing boxing shoes, which sometimes I honestly just wear regular sneakers to box, but these are sick, so I wear them today for you guys. I'm wearing boxing shorts, have some shorts under just in case I get hot, but I also work out in regular gym clothes. Usually like my older gym clothes, they get really dirty and sweaty, so I don't use my cute stuff for when I box. And I always have a bottle of water and my gym bag, which, fun fact, I got this in a vintage store in Santa Fe while I was filming "Onslaught," and I've really used it. I'm like emotionally attached to this bag. And this is my first, what's in my bag, and it's my gym bag, which weirdly feels extra personal. I don't know why. All right, what do I have? I got bands. Oh, I have these. These are for like kickbacks or sometimes even, like, tricep dips. Usually hotels don't have these, so they really come in handy sometimes. And I have sunblock. I have deodorant. Very important. I have a little rolly ball for my plantar fasciitis. Don't even think I pronounce that right, but you guys get the point. My phone. I have a little fan. I got towels, which this is the one thing that comes in and out of the bag, obviously, because I wash them. Gym sometimes gross me out, so I like to have my own little towels. I have these that honestly, I mean, you could see how much I've used them. It's really useful in the gym. I have a really shitty grip, so these have helped me. Oh, fun. I have Homeoplasmine as ChapStick. A girl always needs a ChapStick in her bag. And then, oh wow, didn't know this was in here. Just a headband to keep my hair out of my face. And then, the big jumbo, if I'm squatting, there's like a very ongoing thing, just orange. Orange is my thing. I love the color orange. To be honest, I don't really use it. I should, but it's just so hard to get in and out of here, so I just kind of keep it in there. Yeah, and that's all that's in my gym bag. (laughs) (upbeat music)
