Chris Gregory is a former Team GB volleyball player who now channels the discipline and expertise gained from elite sport into inspiring professionals across business. As head of health and fitness at C4 Executive Health, he supports executives and leaders seeking meaningful personal improvement. With first-hand experience of what it takes to operate at the highest level, Chris has developed a compelling message about the power of mindset, habits, and nutrition in driving sustainable success. His career reflects a commitment to high performance and continual growth, qualities that now shape his work as a motivational speaker.
Chris began his sporting journey through Sir Steven Redgrave’s Sporting Giants programme, designed to identify future Olympians ahead of London 2012. Progressing quickly, he joined Team GB’s development pathway and made his international debut in beach volleyball at the Under-21 World Championships. He went on to compete at the Volleyball World Cup and proudly represented Team England at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. Alongside these major appearances, he earned eight international medals and became a five-time British Champion. These formative years taught Chris the importance of resilience, the ability to respond constructively to setbacks, and the value of consistent self-improvement.
Away from competition, Chris expanded his professional reach. At C4 Executive Health, he leads a holistic programme that empowers clients to build both physical capability and mental strength. His expertise as a nutrition specialist has enabled him to deliver bespoke guidance and engaging corporate wellbeing workshops. He also founded Endure Skin Care, further demonstrating his commitment to health optimisation. His influence continues online, where he has built a community of more than eleven thousand followers who seek motivation and practical advice. Chris has even made appearances in major film productions, including roles in globally recognised franchises such as Star Wars, The Avengers and most recently 28 Years Later.
Chris is hired as a motivational speaker because he understands what true performance requires and communicates it with clarity and relatability. Drawing from pressure-filled moments on the world stage, he speaks convincingly about adapting to change, managing adversity, and maintaining long-term focus. His talks explore how belief influences behaviour and how environments should encourage learning rather than perfection. Audiences leave with practical strategies for achieving personal and professional goals, supported by his proven record of high achievement and human connection. Chris brings energy, credibility, and insight to every engagement, making him an exceptional choice for organisations seeking to elevate the performance and motivation of their people.
