I’m genuinely excited to be a CHEK student. The institute doesn’t just teach exercises or protocols — it teaches a way of thinking. The depth of education around human movement, corrective exercise, lifestyle factors, breathing, and holistic health has completely changed how I understand the body and my role as a practitioner.
The academy represents great value for money even just considering the upfront cost of the main courses, but as you get so many other offerings thrown in, it was not a hard decision to join up for me.
I'm not far enough through the courses to give too give a complete review. As for what I have done so far - each course is vast and leaves a feeling of little to be desired.as far as coverage. I am confident I am gettting anything and everything worth mention in holistic health. Considering Paul is to be credited with the synthesis of a myriad of health topics in this, I am further impressed with his ability to cite credit for most anything he discusses. Credit is given in a very clean manor in the lectures as well, done seemlessly with only pertinent details including other bonus material or books on the subjects discussed. Farm to table, mouth to ****, in or out of the gym, pro-athlete to casual athlete, expert to noob, must know to nice to know to little known - all presented in a helpful, digestible, and thought-provoking way. It's jam packed. The well structured course syllabus and progression helps to ease intake of such vast information. Subjects and lectures are also very well structured and logical making it all managable. Paul is very well spoken and recordings are clean. He also has a nice blend of seriousness with comical insight, the odd jab at some common poor lifestyle practices, practitioner warnings or observations of common professional mistakes. Keeping it light-hearted yet meaning business.
The platform leaves a few things to be desired IMO, but nothing atrocious or glitchy at the same time. It would be nice to have captions or subtitles and maybe a transcript. Also the ability to bookmark sections of the lecture or record timestamps. A per lecture notes feature would be great too. Along with the references and books mentioned throughout (references are listed in all the manuals as well as many of the books). Oh and the layout can be frustrating with so many nested entities - leaves a lot of uneccessary borders/padding that can't be removed or collapsed. Nonetheless I'd much rather have a hardened and functional platform than a buggy feature heavy one.
The billing process is very smooth, and customer care for any billing issues has been very supportive. Thanks, team Chek!
