Chris Gregory is a former Team GB volleyball player who now applies his extensive experience in elite sport to empower executives and business leaders to achieve higher levels of performance. As Head of Health and Fitness at C4 Executive Health, he brings a unique fusion of athletic excellence, wellbeing expertise and motivational leadership. Having competed against the world’s finest athletes, Chris understands that high performance is not accidental; it is created through deliberate mindset, disciplined habits and the right approach to physical and mental health.
His athletic journey began when he was identified through Sir Steven Redgrave’s Sporting Giants talent scheme, created to uncover future Olympians for London 2012. Selected for Team GB’s development programme, he rapidly progressed, making his international beach volleyball debut at the Under 21 World Championships. From that point forward, he dedicated himself to mastering both the physical and psychological requirements of elite competition. He went on to compete at the Volleyball World Cup and represented Team England at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. Across his sporting career, Chris earned eight international medals and became a five-time British Champion. These formative years were characterised by overcoming injury, intense competition and the constant challenges inherent in professional sport, instilling in him resilience and a deep appreciation for continuous improvement.
Chris transitioned his high-performance expertise into the corporate wellbeing sector, where, since 2017, he has been responsible for shaping comprehensive, personalised health strategies for business leaders. As a nutrition specialist, he supports both individuals and organisations through private coaching and wellbeing workshops designed to enhance energy, focus and long-term personal effectiveness. He is also the founder of Endure Skin Care, a brand inspired by the demands of sport and the value of looking after human performance from the inside out. Beyond business and sport, his drive and physical presence have seen him appear in major film franchises including Star Wars, The Avengers and 28 Years Later.
Today, Chris is a sought-after high-performance speaker who uses his story to demonstrate how the principles of sport can unlock success in demanding professional environments. He explores how belief shapes behaviour, why adaptability matters more than perfection, and how adversity can fuel positive transformation. With a grounded but energising delivery style, Chris equips audiences with actionable strategies that reinforce confidence, consistency and growth.
