The 29-year-old was released by Norwich City this summer and has been linked with clubs in Turkey and Saudi Arabia., external
Gunn is among 38 out-of-contract players taking part in the PFA pre-season training camp this week.
"Being out of contract this time of year, all the players are getting back to pre-season and this gives us the same opportunity to do that and get the fitness in so we're ready to go for wherever it will be," said Gunn.
"A lot of the teams go away and have a camp together, this is no different. You've got all the facilities here at Champneys. A good pitch, quality coaches and staff around - if anything it's even better.
"It's a great place to come, everyone is in the same position, so it's good to speak to the other lads and the staff.
"It's a little bit different than training on your own. It's definitely beneficial and gives you a good platform to go into pre-season somewhere."

Former Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher is in talks to take over as the club's Under-18 coach.
Previous U18s coach Adam Lawrence left United at the end of the season, part of a major summer upheaval at youth level that also includes academy chief Nick Cox taking a job at Everton as technical director.
United feel former Scotland international Fletcher, 41, will provide continuity as the search for Cox's successor continues.
Fletcher initially returned to Old Trafford in a non-playing role during Ed Woodward's time as chief executive.
He was appointed as technical director in 2021 but moved roles following Sir Jim Ratcliffe's arrival as minority shareholder, when Jason Wilcox took the job after leaving Southampton.
He was a first-team coach under Erik ten Hag and, in more recent times, has been a link between the first-team and academy and travelled to Malaysia and Hong Kong at the end of the season, when a number of young players were selected.
Fletcher has long-term management ambitions of his own and this would be a positive first step.
He has previously been reluctant to take on an academy role as his twin sons Tyler and Jack were both excelling as players.
However, they have now moved out of the Under-18 age group, which leaves Fletcher to take the job if he wants.
It is understood he will work closely with Travis Binnion, United's Under-21 lead coach.

Image source, SNSRoss Doohan has backed himself to get enough game time at Celtic to become "a mainstay" in the Scotland squad.
After being handed a surprise international debut against Liechtenstein earlier this month amid a goalkeeping crisis within Steve Clarke's squad, the 27-year-old sealed a return to his boyhood club on a three-year deal last week.
Doohan, who spent most of the past two seasons as number two at Aberdeen after leaving Parkhead to join Tranmere in 2022, is expected to start off as third choice at Celtic behind Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo.
"It's obviously going to be difficult," he said when asked about the battle to get game time with the Scottish champions. "There are two top goalkeepers at the club already and I'm buzzing to be working with them.
"I'm just looking to work as hard as I can and put my face out there. I'm hoping to push myself into the team. I know it'll be hard, but I back myself."
Doohan said he had enjoyed "a surreal couple of weeks" after landing his return to Celtic so soon after his unexpected international debut.
The keeper, who cut a summer holiday short to join up with Clarke's Scotland squad, is confident his big move can aid his quest to add to his solitary cap.
"If I get a call-up again I'm hoping I'd impress and hopefully end up a mainstay in the squad," Doohan added.
"Obviously I'm moving to one of the biggest clubs in the world and the biggest club in Scotland, so that's always going to put you in good stead.
"I just need to push myself at Celtic, hopefully get some game time and then take it from there."
