From 1D to Wunda Chair – the £2,000 Pilates kit that’s turned pop star Harry Styles into Mr Muscles
- He showed off his muscular physique during a topless outdoor run last week
He showed off his muscular physique during a topless outdoor run last week – but Harry Styles has more than jogging to thank for his chiselled torso.
The pop superstar’s gruelling training regime includes Pilates workouts, a meat-free diet, ice baths, round-the-clock access to a personal trainer, and a high-tech Wunda Chair to help him work on his flexibility.
The £2,000 piece of Pilates kit has a padded seat and no back. It is used for controlled body movements and is said to help improve strength in the back and arms.
Styles, 29, also regularly uses a £200 Pilates foot corrector, which helps strengthen and lift the arch of the foot and improve balance.
The regime has certainly helped the star to bulk up since he first came to fame as a skinny member of One Direction on The X Factor in 2010. And he needs to be in shape for his current, energetic 169-date world tour.

Key to this is personal trainer Brad Gould, 33, who travels with Styles wherever he goes, and can often be spotted dancing along to his performances from the side of the stage. He was also behind the topless North London workout last week.
Styles now does ‘more weights and running’ than ever before which has helped contribute to his more ‘masculine’ physique, his Pilates instructor says.
Gaby Noble, 43, who runs Exhale London, said regular client Styles is a ‘very active person’ who is ‘incredibly healthy’.
‘With Pilates, Harry predominately works with core, breathing and lung capacity – because of his singing – and with his hamstrings because he’s moving all the time. He’s become much more nimble.
‘Harry would come in and leave the studio on his own. He would say hi to everyone, he’s normal. For such a superstar, he’s a really amazing, grounded person.’
Styles has embraced a meat-free diet, only eating fish, and sometimes goes on six-day juice cleanses.
He also enjoys cold-water swimming and posted a photo of himself submerged in an ice bath in Germany last year.
