A first look at the future of personalised performance health.
This pilot offers a small group early access to the City Health Partners model.
Participants are carefully selected, and their experience will help shape the evolution of the service.
Your Journey
A structured pathway from clarity to meaningful change.
Begin Your Journey
Once invited to the pilot, you’ll complete a short onboarding form here on the website. Here, we gather what matters most: your goals, lifestyle context and consent to participate. You’ll complete a short questionnaire, review the programme outline and submit secure payment (which is fully refunded upon successful completion of the programme).
This step ensures we understand your starting point before any data arrives, allowing the coaching process to be truly personalised from day one.
Your Test Is Prepared
After onboarding, your blood test kit is dispatched to your home. Forth provides clear, step-by-step instructions on booking a phlebotomy appointment at one of their approved clinics.
Everything is designed to be uncomplicated, discreet and efficient.
Professional Blood Collection
Your kit arrives by post. You book your appointment through Forth’s booking link and attend at a partner clinic at a time that suits you. The phlebotomist manages the sample handling and shipping, ensuring accuracy and clinical reliability.
You simply arrive, give your sample and continue with your day.
Laboratory Insight
Your sample is processed by Forth’s accredited laboratory. A GMC-registered doctor reviews your biomarkers and flags any medical considerations directly within the Forth platform.
Your results are uploaded to your secure portal—cleanly presented, clinically interpreted and ready for the next stage.
City Health Partners does not offer medical interpretation; this remains the responsibility of Forth’s clinical team.
Preparing for Your First Coaching Session
You’ll receive an email with a link to book your first coaching session. You’ll also receive guidance on how to view your biomarkers and a short reflection prompt designed to help you enter the coaching phase with clarity.
This stage bridges data and conversation—ensuring your first session is focused, relevant and high-value.
Coaching for Meaningful Change
Across three 45-minute video sessions over six weeks, we translate insight into action.
Session 1 establishes your priorities and examines the themes emerging from your biomarker results.
Sessions 2 and 3 focus on progress, accountability and refining habits with a performance-oriented lens.
Between sessions, you’ll receive brief check-ins tailored to your preferences to maintain momentum and support.
Completion & Future Direction
In the final session, we review what has changed, what has improved and what clarity has been gained. This is followed by a structured request for feedback, which is essential to refining the next phase of the programme.
You’ll then be offered a series of ongoing pathways: continued coaching, optional retesting or future tiers of City Health Partners as they launch.
Advanced Health Check
A comprehensive, clinically verified snapshot of your internal health - in partnership with Forth.
The Advanced Blood Test provides a true MOT for your body, covering key systems including heart, liver, thyroid, hormones, bone health, immune function, energy markers, and nutritional status. Your sample is analysed in an accredited NHS laboratory, and results are reviewed by a GMC-registered doctor to ensure accuracy and clarity.
These insights form the foundation of your coaching journey. Once your results are ready, we use them to guide a focused conversation about your goals, habits, and performance giving you a clear starting point for meaningful, sustainable change.
Included Biomarkers
Regular blood testing helps you spot areas of concern before they turn into problems. By tracking changes over time, you gain a clearer understanding of how stress, diet, and lifestyle impact your wellbeing.
Early detection means early action.
-

-
Iron storage protein, indicating body's iron levels. Low levels suggest iron deficiency anaemia; high levels may indicate inflammation or liver disease.
-
Essential B-vitamin for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation. Deficiency leads to red blood cell problems, neural tube defects in pregnancy, making it useful when screening for nutritional deficiencies and managing pregnancy.
-
Key hormone in reproductive system regulation, indicating fertility status. Elevated levels can suggest ovarian failure or menopause in women and testicular dysfunction in men, important for evaluating reproductive health.
-
Measures free testosterone levels, indicating androgen status. Useful in screening for conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or androgen deficiency, essential for assessing hormonal balance and reproductive health.
-
-
Liver enzyme indicative of liver and bile duct health. Elevated levels suggest liver damage, alcohol abuse, or bile duct obstructions, important for screening for liver diseases.
-
Diverse group of proteins involved in immune function and blood clotting. Abnormal levels indicate liver or kidney disease, nutritional problems, or immune disorders, useful in comprehensive health assessments.
-
Protein in red blood cells carrying oxygen. Levels reflect oxygen-carrying capacity, important for screening for anaemia, polycythaemia, and monitoring overall health.
-
Indicates average blood glucose over the past 3 months, essential for diabetes screening and management. High levels indicate poor blood sugar control, increasing risk of diabetes complications.

Evidence Through Experience
Yasmin, Entrepreneur
As a lifelong professional who has operated efficiently on four hours of sleep for nearly forty years, I’ve always considered myself organised, driven and capable of pushing through anything. I knew I needed to make changes—sleep more, drink a little less, exercise more—but despite countless attempts, nothing ever stuck.
When I began coaching with Hugh, I wasn’t expecting much to change. What happened over the following months was genuinely transformational. Hugh never told me what to do; instead, he asked what I wanted and what felt realistically achievable. That simple yet powerful shift made all the difference.
After just a few months, I’m now consistently sleeping at least seven hours a night. I’ve significantly reduced both alcohol and caffeine, and although I’m not exercising as regularly as I’d like, I’m far more conscious of it and moving in the right direction.
Hugh’s calm, non-judgmental presence and quietly effective guidance have helped me make changes I honestly didn’t think were possible. I’m incredibly grateful for his warmth, patience and professionalism, and I would highly recommend his services.
