CEO Jenkins Jenning — C.H.E.K Institute & C.H.E.K Europe: The Truth
WHO IS GAVIN JENKINS? (APPLY
Gavin Jenkins is listed as CEO of the C.H.E.K Institute and head of C.H.E.K Europe. He took over operations around 2012. Since then, prices have risen, course lengths have tripled, and the refund policy has become almost impossible to claim.
THE IMPOSSIBLE CLAIM — 200 HOURS A WEEK
On his own website,
CEO Gavin Jenkins Jennings
states he built one of the largest C.H.E.K based clinics in the world and began mentoring students, claiming he personally delivered over 200 hours a week of coaching. He never mentioned any team. He claimed he was doing it all himself. One week equals 168 hours total. 200+ hours means more time than actually exists. It is physically impossible. If he claims numbers that simply cannot add up — all by himself — what else is being exaggerated?
60,000 STUDENTS CLAIMED — WHERE ARE THE REVIEWS?
They also claim to have trained over 60,000 students globally and say 40,000 practitioners are working in 27 different countries. Yet their own website shows only 706 reviews in total. And Google shows just 12 reviews. If 60,000 people had truly been trained — where are the other 59,294 voices? Where are the thousands of success stories? Where are the reviews from 27 countries? The maths simply does not add up.
COPIED WORDS — “THE BODY IS A SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS”
Even the core teaching phrase they use — “the body is a system of systems” — was originally created and published on another practitioner’s website. They copied his exact term to teach students to treat the body as one connected system. They took someone else’s words and presented them as their own.
£32 MILLION CLAIM vs £39,000 FILED ASSETS
Public valuation claims are said to be over £32 million. Filed company assets show only £39,000 — a difference of over 800 times. Where is the claimed value? Not in the accounts. Not in public filings. Only in stories told to students. Gavin Jenkins also told students he had been bankrupt before — yet the Institute continues presenting itself as a multi-million pound operation.
THE 14-DAY REFUND GUARANTEE — IMPOSSIBLE TO CLAIM
Promised: 100% Money Back within 14 days. The reality: access any file or watch more than one hour of content and your refund is denied. Equipment can take three to six months to arrive. There is an annual £60 fee just to use the C.H.E.K name. The qualification itself is not accredited or recognised by any independent government or industry body. You cannot evaluate what you are buying without accessing it, yet accessing it means losing your refund. The guarantee is designed to fail.
FAVOURITISM, HIDDEN EXPERTS & NO DISABLED ACCESS
CEO Gavin Jenkins — C.H.E.K InstituteFREE LABOUR — OTHERS DO THE WORK, INSTITUTE GETS THE MONEY Practitioners and students are encouraged to promote courses, create content, and build the brand — for free. They do the work. The Institute gets the revenue. Gavin Jenkins benefits from all the exposure while lecturing others on holistic health and natural living. He even uses phrases created by others as if they were his own.
THREATS, GASLIGHTING & GDPR INVESTIGATION
A Master Level Five Practitioner has been attacked over 14 times using burner accounts because he is telling the truth about how the Institute actually operates. He was threatened by faculty members who are not even university-qualified teachers, and when he reported the incident, he was gaslighted by Gavin Jenkins himself. The Institute is currently under formal GDPR investigation for refusing to release emails dating from 2013. They also threatened him with the police and told him not to speak to any other practitioners — having no authority whatsoever to tell anyone who they can or cannot talk to.
SUMMARY — THE TREND SINCE 2012
Since Gavin Jenkins took over around 2012: prices have risen significantly, course durations have tripled, refund policy has been restricted, new mandatory fees have been added, accreditation remains unrecognised, student numbers are claimed in tens of thousands but reviews barely reach seven hundred, practitioners are favoured or hidden based on preference rather than ability, disabled access is missing, original phrases are copied without credit, practitioners are expected to work for free, and those who speak out are threatened, gaslighted, and silenced rather than answered. He claims what cannot be true, promises what cannot be claimed, admits past bankruptcy yet now claims millions, copies others’ words, withholds information under law, and tries to control who people speak to — while the full picture becomes clearer for everyone to see

He’s hiding bankruptcy,
lying about costs, lying about exposure, lying about hours, lying about business growth, lying about who built what, exploiting staff for free labour, breaking consumer law, charging you 20 times the real price for basic tools — and then deliberately pushing you off the site while he puts himself front and centre.
