"I first discovered Paul Chek while watching a podcast. I was intrigued by what he had to say. This led me to watch Paul’s YouTube videos. Which led me to read How to Eat, Move and be Healthy. Which finally led me to sign up at the Chek Institute. I am currently enrolled in year 1 in the program. I am not engaged in any work in the field yet, however my dream is to be a well informed holistic lifestyle coach. Who is able to help people in a wide array of topics such as: exercise, diet, habits. I would like to have my own professional center where I work with people from all walks of life. From professional athletes to business owners. Just one year in, this program has significantly changed my life. To name a few examples:- From the course “ Scientific Back Training “: my exercise form has drastically improved. And I can now perform exercises like the deadlift and the squat confidently.- From the course “ Holistic Lifestyle Coaching 1”: I learned: how to use metabolic typic to decide what food ratios one should have, and the importance of organic foods. I now make more thoughtful decisions about my food intake and feel much better. - From the course “ Integrated Movement Science 1”: I learned how to assess posture and how to use a stretching and excessive program to correct posture. This has improved my own posture which trickles down into better health and a better day to day experience. I think this course is so rich in knowledge and information and this is just the start of my journey in the Chek academy. I advise anyone who is interested in the health industry to enroll in this course. And one piece of advice I would give is actually something that Paul said which is “ learn in layers”. Which means that you will not be able to learn everything so quickly. So just keep revisiting the topic, and as long as you are genuinely interested in it. You will see yourself get better and better with time. "

"Since I was young I always loved medical topics, nature and helping people. But I finished business studies, I co-created a successful tech company and I had a constant feeling that I am not fully fulfilling myself professionally. One day my husband found out about the Chek Academy and told me about it. My thoughts where: “Sounds amazing, I really would like to do it, but how will I manage to find time to study a totally new area of knowledge, together with being a manager of a company and a mother of two small kids?”. I decided to give it a try and it was the best choice ever. During the academy, especially during the IMS stationery courses, I met many amazing people and made new friends from various countries. The teachers are awesome. They are very supportive, knowledgeable and can explain various complicated topics in a very clear way. Currently I am working as Chek practitioner part time, but in the near future I plan to transition to being a full time Chek practitioner. Also I use the health knowledge at home or in my company, so I work as company manager/chek practitioner. Very often when employees have health issues they come to me for advice or when its needed they do exercises in my room. Sometimes I also do some workshops or presentations for kids at school about health. I explain to them for example why they should go to sleep early and why eating sweets is not so healthy.If you are considering joining the academy, but you are afraid you won’t have enough time or you don’t have medical/sport background knowledge, then I will tell you something that Paul Chek once said and it stayed in my head: “kill the ants”. Ants means all negations such as I can’t, I won’t, I shouldn’t etc. If it is your dream and if you are passionate about health, then give it a try and go for it! "

"Hey there! Let me tell you about how I went from being stuck in bed with back pain to becoming Miami's go-to holistic health guy. It's been quite a ride! I was in a bad way after a back injury. Tried everything - doctors, therapists, you name it. Nothing worked. Then my brother showed me this CHEK stuff. Did some exercises called"energizers" and boom! It was like magic! That experience lit a fire in me. I'd just finished my time in the military and was doing contractor work. But I knew I had to share what helped me so much. So I jumped into learning HLC1 and enrolled in CHEK academy, I considered this decision extensively, as it's a complete career shift I knew from my HLC1LoveDream, that any other way wouldn't cut it. The dynamic way my life spiraled up was definitely a result of being part of the curriculum and being on pace with my peers. The academy broadens your scope of practice and expertise on various levels including your business and marketing. The CHEK Academy didn't just teach me about health - it opened up a whole new world for me. Now, I'm not just helping people feel better, I'm running a successful business too! You know what makes me feel on top of the world? When clients tell me I'm like a skilled technician for their bodies. They say I've got this amazing ability to figure out what's wrong and fix it, just like a mechanic with a car! But it's not just about the physical stuff. The best part is when people tell me how much clearer their minds are and how full their hearts feel after working with me. That's when I knew I was making a difference. This journey has taught me so much about marketing and running a business. I'm not just a health coach anymore - I'm a health entrepreneur! Now, I'mhelping all kinds of people - from top athletes to folks just trying to get out of pain. If you're thinking about joining the CHEK Academy, just do it! It's changed my life and my client's lives too. My big dream? In three years, I want to be the best-known holistic health coach in Miami. I'm aiming to help 100,000 people live their dream lives. It's all about that holistic, strong approach to life!"

"During my studies in general medicine at Charles University, I discovered the CHEK Institute, which changed my life. Facing burnout and disillusionment, I struggled with the reality that the Western medicine system seldom leads to true health.Everything shifted after I read "How to Move, Be Healthy." I instantly recognized that this was the true path to health I had been searching for—it showed me how to heal myself and guide others toward health. I decided to switch careers, and I haven’t looked back since. Today, I am the healthiest, happiest, and most fulfilled I’ve ever been, and I am honored to offer my services to those around me. If you feel called to be a holistic health practitioner, the CHEK Academy is the perfect place to start your journey."

"At the age of 40, I decided to completely change my career. Transitioning from a profession in filmmaking to one in health and fitness was extremely daunting. The only thing I knew for sure was that I needed a structured education to guide me through my first stepsMy dream was to find a program that took a holistic approach to health, incorporating both modern science and ancient wisdom. I needed a program flexible enough to allow me to earn a living while studying. I wanted a program that would teach me not only how to train clients, but also how to guide them through lifestyle choices, how to communicate with them, and how to find clients in the first place.I found all that and more at the CHEK Academy. I was blown away by the quality of the first year, with the live course at the very end being the cherry on top! Now, in my second year, the health and fitness industry still seems daunting, and working with real clients is equally challenging. However, I am grateful to be guided by the fantastic mentors at the academy and am confident that I will evolve into an excellent coach one day."

" The CHEK Academy has been pivotal on my health and wellness journey. It has helped me gain knowledge and understanding of the body as a whole and how to apply this through an holistic approach not only in my life but in my clients lives as well.I myself was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at a young age and it was only with the help of a CHEK practitioner who gave me practical life changing guidance that I have been able to “live” life to the fullest.The structure of the Academy removes any overwhelm while on your learning journey, along with the supportive staff and amazing students you meet along the way.Do not hesitate to join the Academy, it is one of the best investments you can make. Not only for your personal development but all the lives you can impact and make a change in."

TODD KIDD

"As a former Olympian I was of the belief that I was healthy and just unfortunate with the challenges I continued to face. At 30 I was told to get a hip replacement, after 3 years of resistance and wanting to hold onto the past, not really changing my ways I eventually underwent hip replacement surgery at 33. Two years later, coming out of a depressive state with no real goal to excite me I came across some of the Chek Institute teachings connecting all layers of health under one banner from the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual realms, it spoke to me with a resonance of hope that I don’t need to continue being a victim of my heath challenges. Firstly, it was important for me to own my health challenges as experiences of a reflection of what I choose to hold onto. Tough to accept but invigorating once acknowledged. If you’re anything like me and you’ve seen many therapists to no avail and you’ve had enough of the superficial layer to treating your condition/s. The Chek Institute is the right place for you.I work as a boxing coach and personal trainer and the Chek Institute has been a game changer not only on a personal level, but I’ve also incorporated the Chek exercise principles into our programs and the clients are loving the new training experience and knowledge I’m now equipped with to pass on. As you can see through my journey the Chek institute is a great place for those facing health challenges that the health care system hasn’t quite been able to treat adequately, the knowledge and wisdom being passed on is life changing. Perhaps you work in the fitness industry as I do or in the health sector treating patients, the Chek Institute combines many modalities within one system making it a great avenue to upskill or reskill avenue for any coach / therapist. Whether you wish to understand yourself better and create healing from within or you wish to make a career with assisting others on their path through their own health challenges the Chek Institute has it all covered."

"My studies with the CHEK Institute helped me tie together many of my previously developed skill sets, connecting dots and theories I had before encountering Paul's work. It has made me a more skilled and integrated practitioner and has been very supportive in founding and operating my own business. The global community of Chekies is amazing. Learning from seasoned practitioners who generously step into their mentor roles, and connecting and growing alongside other aspiring practitioners who often follow the same values, feels great. The business workshops, especially Gavin Jennings' encouragement and support, have significantly helped me understand what it can look like to set up a more CHEK-centered business. My biggest fear was starting a five-year training program after already completing many other programs, including a sports science degree. Ultimately, I followed my heart and talked to other CHEK practitioners, and after year one, I never looked back. My dream for the next three years is to complete my last two years with the Institute and to refine my business so that it can serve myself, my family, my community, and ultimately the world in the best possible and most aligned way. I highly recommend the CHEK Institute to anyone who wants to learn a refined system to improve their own health and understanding of body, mind, and soul, and who has a passion for building a career out of it. You will receive an excellent practical education and embark on a personal hero’s journey!”

"When I joined the CHEK academy I was a mental health/substance abuse nurse working with teenagers. That job, and what I thought to be my nursing career, ended with the Covid-19 vaccine mandates. The change in direction was truly a blessing in disguise. Currently, I am working as a hospice nurse while building my clientele through Fifth World Coaching.I was blessed to find a local CHEK Practitioner who is a Tai-chi, Qigong, and Kung-fu teacher at the beginning of my academy journey. We have become close friends and he is my mentor and coach. Together we get to fellowship and practice in the tremendous teachings of Paul Chek on a weekly basis.The CHEK system allows me to approach patients and clients through a holistic lens with a credibly robust toolkit. This even applies to the dying people I work with. I recommend the CHEK Academy to fellow nurses, doctors, and PTs. I often state, “Even if you never use any of it for clients, you and your family can greatly benefit from what you will learn as I have”.My dream in the next 3 years of my career is to transition full-time to CHEK Coaching, using my own facility on my land as well as facilitating more workshops, with one I am working on with a local osteopathic doctor with a holistic framework on ‘the Barefoot Lifestyle."

"Paul CHEK has transformed my life in many ways. Through my journey with the CHEK Academy, I have rediscovered my self-trust and confidence. Paul's teachings are not just words written down on a page, or great videos to watch; they are immediately applicable for anyone truly committed to making a change in their life. His approach empowers you with the knowledge and tools to take action right away, making real and immediate improvements in your life. I have so much gratitude for the journey I am on, continually growing and developing myself. With everyone at the CHEK Academy in my corner, I am giving myself the best possible chance to heal and to teach others to do the same. The next 3 years will see me taking on clients full time as well as launching my mentorship program."
