GUNNA‘S WORKOUTS MEAN more than bettering his health. The rapper invests his time and effort in the gym to become better at his craft, too.

“Working out helps me as a performer with my breathing, my endurance, my stamina,” he says. “I can move more, engage more, and give my full energy.”

He stays motivated by this, putting in the sweat to become a better artist. Working out clears his mind, he says, which helps him create better music and perform better on stage.

The Atlanta native says he has always been active, playing sports like basketball and football as a kid. He really started prioritizing fitness during his time in jail in 2022. He says he spent some time working out during his year-long stay, and kept up the habit upon his release, starting with running the trails around his house.

Eventually, he got a trainer and got into the gym. Now, exercise is an integral part of his routine, especially when he’s on tour. Gunna says his trainer travels with him, and they workout every morning. He’s had some impressive workout partners, too; he’s had opportunities to work out at the Phoenix Suns facility—he calls 7’3” Suns center Bol Bol “my boy”—and with the New England Patriots.

He’s working on cleaning up his diet, too. A self-proclaimed fan of cereal and chips, he’s been swapping out his cravings for eggs, fruits, lean meats and fish, and salads.

We caught up with the rapper at The Block in Los Angeles, California, where he took us through a normal upper body and core day with his trainer.
