WHERE YOUR NEW CAREER BEGINS!

Is your current job a true reflection of who you are?

Do you wake up with pride, amazed that you get paid to do something you genuinely LOVE?

If not, you’re not alone. Too many people are simply ‘making a living’—existing to pay bills and chasing dreams that always seem out of reach. But life is about more than just surviving; it’s about thriving.

At CHEK Academy, we’re not just training professionals—we’re empowering Integrated Health Practitioners who are passionate, inspired, and energized by the difference they make in their clients' lives. Our practitioners don’t just work—they thrive, making a meaningful impact and earning a great income doing what they truly believe in.

Are most of the courses online, or do I need to attend in person events?

The vast majority of the courses are completed online, except for optional in-person Advanced Training Programs once or twice per year, where you will be given the option to attend in-person or study online where available. 

The majority of the ATP's are for a period of 5 days.


How many hours per week do I need to dedicate to my studies to stay on track?

We recommend anywhere between 4-6 hours per week to dedicate to your studies for most of our students; however, that is dependent upon each person’s individual learning style.


Can I do one year at a time?

No, the Academy is a three year commitment.

Do I have to be in the U.S. to participate in the Academy?

No! We have Academy students on almost every continent on the planet and we welcome students from wherever they live.

The vast majority of our courses and workshops are online, so as long as you have an internet connection, you can study. Our Advanced Training Programs are usually live courses though. To complete those, you will have to travel to either the US, Canada, the UK, or Australia depending upon course availability.


Do I need to pay separately for flights/accommodations/food when attending live classes?

Yes, travel and accommodation costs will need to be covered at your own expense.


I don’t work in the health and fitness space and have no prior experience - is the Academy right for me?

It is! The Academy will provide you with all the knowledge you need to begin a career in the health and fitness industry and allow you to study while you earn.


What qualifications will I gain from joining the Academy?

You will gain certificates of completion of each level of the Holistic Lifestyle Coaching series and Integrated Movement Science series which form part of the CHEK Career Path.

At the end of the three years, you will have gained qualification as a CHEK Practitioner Level 3. You will then have the option to continue your studies on to Years 4 and 5 when you can train to become a Master CHEK Practitioner.


What career path(s) can I apply my CHEK training to?

The opportunities as a CHEK Practitioner are extremely flexible and can be applied to a whole host of career paths. Depending on your ultimate dream, you can apply your training wherever feels best for you. Some examples of careers that our graduates have created for themselves from our training are:

  • Owning their own gym space or wellness center

  • Holistic Lifestyle Coaching remotely or in person

  • Wellness Specialist in corporate settings

  • Working with athletes 


What benefits do I get as an Academy student, rather than studying at my own pace?

  • More bang for your buck! - The Academy works out substantially cheaper than buying the courses individually. On average, our students can save up to 15% off their studies. 

  • Even more discounts - as an Academy student, you will also receive 15% off on courses not included in the Academy curriculum (this excludes CHEK tools). 

  • Built-in mentorship - We host monthly group mentorship calls and have our helpful Academy Coordinators on hand ready to help you along your journey.

  • Community spirit - You will get exclusive access to our Academy social page where you can connect with your fellow Academy students. 

  • Business training - as part of your Academy studies, we provide you with the knowledge and tools to build a successful business out of your education. 

  • Structured curriculum - the Academy learning paths are structured in a way that supports your education and keeps you on track with your studies. 

  • Earn while you learn -  we designed the Academy to be accessible for everyone, so that you can work full-time while also studying to become a CHEK Practitioner. 


Can I freeze my education?

We do offer the option to postpone your studies for up to 12 months (taking a gap year) during the course of your three year studies. While this isn’t something we recommend due to its potential disruption to your study momentum, we understand that life can get in the way, so we offer the option to postpone when necessary. 

Please note that we do not accept mid-year postponement requests and you would need to submit your postponement application at least 30 days into the new academic year to qualify.


What happens if I want to cancel membership? What if for some reason I need to leave the Academy midterm?

You will pay a termination fee which will cover all the training you have received up to that point, without the Academy discounts.  The maximum you will pay in the termination fee is the difference between attending the courses with the Academy and completing the courses separately without discounts.


Does my deposit get deducted from my monthly payment?

Your deposit will be deducted from your final academy payment at the end of the 36 months.


Is Paul teaching all the classes?

While Paul teaches some of the higher lever classes, he isn’t able to dedicate the time to teaching all our Academy classes. However, we have an excellent team of CHEK Faculty members who have all been through the CHEK Career Path and have years of experience in the industry.


Does a CHEK license come with the Academy?

Yes, you get a CHEK license upon completing each Academy year, and the $60 annual renewal fee is waived while you are enrolled in the Academy. 


Does the CHEK Academy issue tax forms, such as a 1098-T?

No, we do not issue those forms as we are not an accredited university.
