Professional athlete Durran Dunn helping people get the best results with high tech Evolt 360 body scanning
The year 2020 may definitely be one to remember with all the goings-on of COVID-19, but in the state of Georgia, USA there’s one professional athlete who has decided to take the bull by the horns and turn things around for the better – combining his love of athletics and fitness with helping people get the best results with an Evolt 360 Body Scanner.
Originally from Kingston, Jamaica, Durran ‘The Freeze’ Dunn is mostly known for his track and field career. Already competing by the age of 11 in organised meets, he later migrated to New York where as a young man he earned a spot as a Top 10 nationally ranked sprinter and later was offered an academic track and field scholarship to the University of Southern Mississippi.
Graduating with an Accounting Degree and becoming a Certified Public Accountant, Dunn has seen success within his chosen field, but at the time didn’t keep up his optimal fitness levels. In 2015, things changed. A passion for health, wellness and helping people get the best results was re-ignited and the rest, as they say, is history.
“I made a serious lifetime commitment to my health and wellness after I watched a film titled What the Health during a business trip to Australia,” he recalls.
“I took away a new perspective on how food is prepared and whilst I enjoyed my professional career, and continue to have high aspirations, my renewed passion for physical fitness and competition led me to start a training program and compete at various national and international track and field meets representing USA and with the Atlanta Braves as “The Freeze.”
Fast forward to June, 2020 and Dunn made the commitment to purchase the Anytime Fitness East Cobb franchise gym in Marietta, Georgia – right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. His reasonings?
“My decision to embrace this venture was made after significant due diligence efforts and clearly having recognised the assumed risks and the potential,” he said.
“My passion to own a gym was inspired by my own circumstances of wanting to optimise my physical health and fitness for competition, then in turn wanting to impart my learnings and experiences with others.”
