I can’t put into words how grateful I am. When I first came to you, I felt stuck, heavy, and unsure if I’d ever feel like myself again. You didn’t just help me with my healing — you held space for me, listened without judgment, and guided me with such kindness and care. Slowly, day by day, I started to feel lighter, stronger, and more at peace. You have truly helped heal parts of me I thought were broken forever. Thank you for your gift, your patience, and for being exactly what I needed. I recommend you to anyone looking for real, gentle, and meaningful support. Thank you again Scott 😃

Highly recommended – professional, holistic and deeply insightful
Scott is a rare kind of practitioner, combining deep expertise in posture correction and movement with a genuinely holistic approach that considers physical, emotional, and energetic wellbeing.
I came to him for support with chronic postural imbalances and muscular tension, and left with a much clearer understanding of the root causes, plus a practical path forward. His insights into diet, stress, and lifestyle were equally valuable.
Scott is generous with his knowledge, honest in his guidance, and clearly committed to long-term results. I’m looking forward to working with him again in the future as my circumstances and journey evolve.
If you’re ready to take ownership of your health and want someone who can support the process from multiple angles, Scott is a powerful ally.

CEO Gavin Jenkins — 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, Gavin Jenkins 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

Gavin Jennings • C.H.E.K Institute — The Lies, The Bankruptcy & The Rip‑Off
I first met Gavin Jennings in Lancashire back in 2012, when he took over running the C.H.E.K Institute. Right from the start he told me straight — he’d been bankrupt before. Yet nowhere on his profile, nowhere on the website, nowhere in his PR does he ever mention it. He hides it completely.
“Official GDPR update — ICO has backed my claim; C.H.E.K Institute and Gavin Jenkins face potential penalties up to £17.5 million for withholding my records dating back to 2013.”
He claims he “built one of the busiest C.H.E.K practices in the world” — but that’s not true. Alex Mackenzie built and established the C.H.E.K system in the UK and Europe. Gavin just bought his way in and took over what others had already done.Official public record — anyone can verify via Companies House / The Gazette.
Key facts from these documents:
Gavin Jennings ispublicly presented as CEO of the C.H.E.K Institute and head of C.H.E.K Europe, operating from Lancashire, UK.
Chek Europe accounts & Gavin Jenkins finances —
official public records
Claimed business valuation estimated at £32 million, yet filings show declared assets of only £29 000
gavin-jenningkins-chek-europe-accounts-assets-29000-companies-houseOfficial public record — verifiable via Companies House / The Gazette • Assets listed at just £29 000 against claimed £32 million valuation • Late/incomplete filings, no clear breakdown of course income • Previous bankruptcy history before taking over operations • “World’s busiest practice” claims don’t match these figures • Drastic staff cuts & supply shortages confirm financial strain He claims he works 200+ hours a week
— absolute nonsense. He never says “me and my team” — he takes all the credit himself. The truth is me, Phil, and many others were doing all the mentoring, all the teaching, all the hard work — FOR NOTHING. We weren’t even given free courses. All we ever got was a cheap little gift in the post at Christmas — probably worth about £40. That’s it.
I worked my arse off for 15 students — speaking to every single one at least once a week. They’d constantly change times, miss appointments, turn up whenever they felt like it — zero respect for my time, zero respect for the work I was doing, because it was all free.
And then? They deliberately moved all that work in‑house and cut me off completely. I’m a Level 5 Master Practitioner — the highest level there is — and they shut me out like I was nothing. I should’ve been the one doing that work, not some random person they picked. It was done on purpose.
When I met him I asked him straight:
“Why don’t you advertise the practitioners anymore? Why don’t you go to fitness conventions?” And his answer? “It costs too much money — £50,000.” What a joke — when the business is estimated by some sources to be worth £32 million, suddenly £50k is too much? That’s just an excuse.
Even after they hid me from the website, he still emailed me asking me to review and fix the website — FOR FREE. He told me “I’m not sabotaging your business.” If he wasn’t sabotaging me — why am I nowhere to be found on Chek Connect, while Phil, the Pilates instructor, and Gavin himself are all right there on the homepage? That’s a massive conflict of interest — putting himself and his mates up top, and burying the people who actually put the work in.
When I went up to Lancashire he asked me to teach classes on zone exercises — I never got paid a penny. I spoke to staff in America too — they told me exactly the same thing: “We don’t get paid, we just get free courses.”
While the business is estimated by some sources to be worth £32 million, Companies House records show he only declared £29,000 in assets. He never mentioned any valuation or figure like that to me at all.
He claims he’s consulted for Google and LinkedIn, worked
with the British Army, he may of done built a full practice in under six months. Even Peter Jones from Dragons’ Den says categorically — building any proper business takes at least six years. Six months is impossible — pure ego and lies. If he really consulted for Google and LinkedIn… why am I dominating his name above him everywhere? Why does he only have 830 followers on LinkedIn when I have over 3,000?
He calls himself Level 5 CHEK Master Practitioner
on the Chek Connect, page — but his own profile says Level 4. He can’t even get his own facts straight.
Now he’s flogging a new course called HBSS — costing you £2,000 extra on top of everything you’ve already paid. And look at their refund policy — it’s against the law:
• They say 14 days on courses — but “if you’ve downloaded anything or watched more than an hour, no refund.”
• All downloads, e‑books, webinars — “all sales final, no refunds ever.”
• That is illegal under UK consumer law — you have rights, and they’re breaking them.
They don’t even promote practitioners on their own website — only the faculty. So you pay thousands to train, and they won’t even help you get a single client.
And look at the equipment scam:
• Forward head caliper: £395 — you can buy a different, fully functional version that does exactly the same job for £20 anywhere else. It’s not identical, but it works exactly the same way for a fraction of the price.
• C.H.E.K flip coins: £19.95 — you can use any 50p coin.
• Full tool bundle: £760 — for stuff you can get for less than £300 elsewhere.
• C.H.E.K stick: £40 — most masters don’t even use one, they just use their hands.
• Half their stock is out of stock for 4–6 months, and they ask you for a deposit just to reserve it.
This isn’t “premium quality” — it’s price‑gouging, plain and simple.

Phil Loizides Lion Health and Fitness North London — The Truth About The Backstabber
This is the full story of Phil Loizides, owner of Lion Health and Fitness, North London — someone I trusted as a close friend, only to be betrayed, lied about, and targeted for destruction the moment I dared speak the truth about the C.H.E.K Institute.
It all started back in 2013, straight after we finished our Level 4 qualification together. We both decided to push on and do Level 5 to become Master Practitioners. I became the very first Level 5 Master Practitioner in the UK, and I was also the first to get my own book published.
But then everything changed. I had a mentoring client who wanted to do the HLC program with me. I told him to go ahead and complete his paperwork — but he left it seven whole weeks before doing anything, then suddenly demanded a refund, and threatened “I will kill your career” if he didn’t get his way. That was the moment the campaign against me began.
Phil — Lion Health and Fitness: claims vs missing records
Multiple limited companies linked to Phil trading as Lion Health and Fitness have been officially dissolved or struck‑off the register. No active matching limited company can be found today — despite presenting himself as an established practitioner based in North London.
Verified via Companies House dissolved archive & The Gazette
• No active limited company registered under Lion Health and Fitness or linked variations
• All previously listed linked entities are dissolved or removed — pattern of repeated new companies then vanishing
• Never disclosed this history to clients or students
I still supported Phil right through all of this: I helped him build his website, taught him diaphragm release techniques, took professional, high‑quality photos for him — shots that would be used worldwide — and we’d go out for dinner and drinks, taking it in turns to pay, fair and square between mates. During Covid, when everyone was isolated, he had family he could turn to — I had no one. He was the only person I had to talk to regularly. He drove me around his local area, showed me where he lived, and told me constantly how much he hated the C.H.E.K faculty, how they all just licked Paul Chek and Gavin Jennings’ backsides, and how they never helped him or answered his calls.
But the moment I called him out for being a hypocrite — for doing exactly what he complained about — he turned on me instantly.
He shared my private personal information behind my back, conspired with Gavin Jenkins, Leigh Brandon and Matt Wallden to erase me from C.H.E.K Connect, hid my Level 5 Master Practitioner status, and worked to sabotage my business so I would get thousands of views but no clients. He threatened me alongside Matt Wallden, telling me to keep quiet or face legal action — all because I spoke the truth.
Public records and real reviews tell the real story:
• We’ve both been in business around 27 years — yet Phil Loizides only has 2 Google reviews for Lion Health and Fitness. I have over 127 testimonials on my own website and over 38 Google business reviews — that’s what happens when you treat people right.
• He has run five different dissolved/struck‑off companies
• He has been struck off by HMRC
• He has no working official website
• He hides behind fake names and closed accounts to avoid scrutiny
Compare that to Warren Williams — a fellow practitioner with just £900 in his business account, but who runs his business honestly, transparently, and never stabs people in the back. That’s the difference between integrity and someone who will betray anyone just to fit in.
Leigh Brandon assaulted me in the gym; Matt Wallden threatened me over the phone; Gavin Jenkins lied about working 200+ hours a week — something mathematically impossible, as there are only 168 hours in any week — and Phil Loizides went along with all of it.
If you claim to be a friend, you can take honest feedback.

Beyond the Manuals: Real Somatic Mastery Vs. Corporate Politics
When I first entered the world of the C.H.E.K Institute back in 2003, the standards required to become a certified Paul Chek Practitioner were exceptionally high. You couldn’t just pay a course fee online and print off a certificate. You were rigorously vetted by the UK organization. They demanded to know your background, your experience in the gym, whether you had active clients, and your direct, real-world understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and human movement.

I can’t put into words how grateful I am. When I first came to you, I felt stuck, heavy, and unsure if I’d ever feel like myself again. You didn’t just help me with my healing — you held space for me, listened without judgment, and guided me with such kindness and care. Slowly, day by day, I started to feel lighter, stronger, and more at peace. You have truly helped heal parts of me I thought were broken forever. Thank you for your gift, your patience, and for being exactly what I needed. I recommend you to anyone looking for real, gentle, and meaningful support. Thank you again Scott 😃

Highly recommended – professional, holistic and deeply insightful
Scott is a rare kind of practitioner, combining deep expertise in posture correction and movement with a genuinely holistic approach that considers physical, emotional, and energetic wellbeing.
I came to him for support with chronic postural imbalances and muscular tension, and left with a much clearer understanding of the root causes, plus a practical path forward. His insights into diet, stress, and lifestyle were equally valuable.
Scott is generous with his knowledge, honest in his guidance, and clearly committed to long-term results. I’m looking forward to working with him again in the future as my circumstances and journey evolve.
If you’re ready to take ownership of your health and want someone who can support the process from multiple angles, Scott is a powerful ally.

River of knowledge this guy has, within the first 15 mins of talking to Scott he was able to ascertain my back pain along with liftsyle challenges. Having spent thousands of pounds for the last 27 years he was already treating me and advising. A Genuine practitioner who purely wants people to get back to better health. Got my back to peak health.
As an elite practitioner with nearly three decades of experience handling high-stress environments, I dedicated my career to mastering the true science of Chek physiology. I studied how to assess the human body as a functional unit—from structural alignment and deep core stabilization to advanced corrective exercise.
But over the years, a massive shift occurred within the fitness industry. The original, strict standards that made the title of Paul Chek Practitioner world-famous began to be watered down by corporate greed and compliance. Institutional gatekeepers began lowering the barriers to entry just to process higher volumes of students and maximize revenue.
I have personally mentored students going through the modern system who had zero foundational knowledge of physiology, had never worked with a single client, and found the course manuals incredibly difficult to comprehend. The corporate structure was setting them up to fail, telling them they could immediately charge premium lifestyle coaching rates without putting in the decades of hard clinical graft required to earn that level of expertise.
Beyond the Manuals: Real Somatic Mastery vs. Corporate Politics
True holistic health cannot be learned purely out of a textbook or a multi-tiered online certification course. It requires raw intuition, deep somatic work, and an unyielding commitment to the truth.
When you read Paul Chek’s Book, you are introduced to deep concepts regarding lifestyle design, energy systems, and holistic health. But there is a massive gulf between teaching those spiritual and physical concepts out of a manual for corporate profit, and actually practicing them with 100% honesty on the ground.
During the isolation of the Covid lockdown, while dealing with dropping four stone in weight as a single man with no family around, I opened up to an older faculty member I trusted completely. Instead of showing holistic empathy, that individual weaponized my vulnerability. They reported my personal stress to corporate leadership, and the CEO stood up in front of a paying class of students to falsely claim I was mentally unstable, telling people not to refer work or book mentoring sessions with me.
They tried to freeze out my business and destroy my livelihood because I refused to bow to their corporate compliance narratives. But real clinical expertise cannot be suppressed by institutional bullying or fake corporate friends.
Why Integrity and Clinical Results Always Win
The ultimate proof of authority isn’t a corporate certificate or a badge on a company homepage; it is real-world results and digital dominance.
Today, my independent platform, Active Bryant Fitness Systems, sits comfortably at the absolute top of the search engines. Whether people are looking up advanced corrective exercise, back pain solutions in London, or the unfiltered truth behind the practitioner qualification, my independent platforms outrank the official corporate pages of the institute across Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
If you are a personal trainer or a client who is tired of watered-down corporate dreams, toxic industry politics, and institutional gatekeepers, it is time to look past the marketing fluff. Real health requires an endurance mindset and 100% transparency.

I can’t put into words how grateful I am. When I first came to you, I felt stuck, heavy, and unsure if I’d ever feel like myself again. You didn’t just help me with my healing — you held space for me, listened without judgment, and guided me with such kindness and care. Slowly, day by day, I started to feel lighter, stronger, and more at peace. You have truly helped heal parts of me I thought were broken forever. Thank you for your gift, your patience, and for being exactly what I needed. I recommend you to anyone looking for real, gentle, and meaningful support. Thank you again Scott 😃
