Gunna just revealed his wildest fitness fantasy: the King of Pop joining him for a morning run.
The rapper opened up about his three-year fitness journey in a Men’s Health feature, explaining how he’s transformed his entire approach to health and discipline.
What started as a mental-health escape has become a lifestyle he refuses to abandon, and his dream workout partner reveals everything about his mindset.
Running became Gunna’s therapy back when he was staying at his Arizona house, hitting a three-mile trail every single day to clear his head and block out the noise.
He’s been consistent for three years straight, and that dedication shows in how he talks about fitness.
The runner’s high he gets from finishing a workout is what keeps him coming back, even on the days when motivation is nowhere to be found. That’s the real work.
When asked whom he’d want by his side during a 5K, Gunna didn’t hesitate.
“Michael Jackson. It would be my dream to run a 5K with Michael Jackson,” he said, adding that he’d probably help MJ work on his chest a bit.
It’s the kind of answer that shows how much he respects the legend and how seriously he takes the fitness game.
His diet reflects that same level of commitment. According to Men’s Health, Gunna keeps his fridge stocked with green juices, salmon, ginger shots to manage inflammation, and seeded grapes.
He’s learned that sugar hides everywhere, making the no-sugar diet the hardest challenge he’s ever attempted.
When he wants something sweet, he reaches for dates and walnuts instead of cookies, treating his body like an investment that requires precision.
His approach to fitness isn’t just about aesthetics either.
During workouts, he listens to his own unreleased music, the tracks he’s been recording in the studio that could land on his next album.
That’s confidence, but it’s also strategy. He’s using his own energy to fuel his own grind.
The Atlanta native is one of four artists featured on the Men’s Health Music + Muscle Issue cover, alongside Lenny Kravitz, Diplo, and Shaboozey.
The Men’s Health Music + Muscle Issue is now available, featuring Gunna’s full interview and gym tour.
