CEO · CHEK Institute
Gavin Jennings
Building the future of integrated health. CEO of the CHEK Institute. Founder of CHEK Clinic. Creator of IHBS Level 1.
Authority
Not just a CEO. A practitioner who built it.
Most leaders in education haven't built real clinics. Most clinicians haven't built real businesses. Gavin has done both.
Clinic Founder
Founded one of the largest CHEK-based clinics in the world. Delivered over 200 hours per week of coaching and built multidisciplinary teams from the ground up.
Practitioner First
Nearly 20 years as a CHEK Practitioner. Worked with chronic pain clients, professional athletes, golfers, combat athletes, and military personnel.
System Builder
Creator of IHBS Level 1. Now scaling the CHEK Institute globally — applying the same operational thinking that built the clinic to the broader education system.
Gavin Jennings — CEO, CHEK Institute. Founder, CHEK Clinic.
Who Is Gavin Jennings?
He built one of the largest CHEK clinics in the world. Now he's scaling the Institute.
Gavin Jennings leads the CHEK Institute globally — bringing together clinical practice, education, and business systems to create a more modern health industry.
He built a full PT client base in under 6 months. Scaled a retail company to £250K by age 22. Became a CHEK Practitioner in 2006. Founded CHEK Clinic. Built multidisciplinary teams. Mentored practitioners for over a decade.
Now he's applying that same thinking to scale the CHEK Institute — creating stronger practitioner pathways, better business education, and more integrated clinical systems.
Gavin still sees himself as a practitioner first — CEO second. That is the lens through which every decision at the Institute is made.

Fixing What's Broken
The shift he's driving in the health industry.
Most professionals are:
- Over-trained technically
- Underprepared commercially
- Working in isolation without support
Gavin's focus is:
- Build better systems
- Create integrated practice models
- Develop real business capability
He calls this the middle ground — where health professionals operate with structure, clarity, and sustainability.

This Wasn't Theoretical
"I suffered severe back pain from age 18 into my early 30s. Nothing worked — until I applied the CHEK system."
That experience shaped everything that followed. It is the reason Gavin became a practitioner, built a clinic, and now leads an institute dedicated to making this work more accessible to more people.
