Sean Dunn
Co-Owner
Sean is the co-owner and co-founder of Gray’s Anatomy Academy located in Needham, Ma. Sean is a certified personal trainer and certified functional strength coach.
Sean is a father to his two girls, husband to his wife, lifts weights, runs a bit, jumps from time to time, eats a bit more than he runs and occasionally competes in some Jiu Jitsu/submission grappling tournaments.
Sean subscribes to training like an athlete because power, strength, stability, speed and mobility are inherent characteristics to those who train like athletes. Adults often put restrictions on themselves that limit their longevity and quality of life and the main goal of training with Sean is to overcome these perceived limitations and actualize potential.
