Real People, Real Results
Yasmin, Entrepreneur
“As a lifelong professional who has operated efficiently on four hours of sleep for four decades, I have considered myself highly organised and driven. I knew I needed to make some life changes to remain fit and healthy: sleep more, drink less, exercise more. Ddespite countless attempts, nothing ever really stuck. When I began coaching with Hugh, I wasn't expecting much to change. However, what happened over the following months was transformational. Hugh never told me what to do; instead, he gently asked me what I wanted and what I felt was realistically achievable. That simple yet powerful shift in approach made all the difference. After just a few months, I'm now consistently sleeping a minimum of seven hours per night, I have significantly reduced both alcohol and caffeine intake, and while I'm not exercising as regularly as I would like, I'm far more conscious of it and moving in the right direction. Hugh's calm, non-judgmental presence and effective guidance have helped me make changes I honestly thought were not possible. I'm incredibly grateful for his genuine warmth, patience and professionalism, and would highly recommend his services.”

“My coaching sessions with Hugh have been genuinely thought provoking. He allows you to think and gain clarity by asking the right questions, the ones you don't ask yourself! Hugh's professional and non-judgmental style gives you the confidence to think outside the box, to come up with your own ideas and thoughts in a safe space. His genuine interest and patience allowed me to set and achieve my goals.”
Will, Sales Trader
“The experience with Hugh at City Health Partners was genuinely enlightening. During our conversations, Hugh was very good at steering the dialogue so that I would come to my own conclusions about everything from my habits and routines, to how I could alter some aspects of life, and more importantly, the things I do well and should focus on. I have come out of the sessions with renewed motivation towards my health and wellbeing, along with some extra tools to help me along the way. Having Hugh in the background for accountability really helped build the consistency I was looking for. In addition, I found the blood tests to be very helpful, and Hugh is very knowledgeable across so many aspects of health and wellbeing.”

“The coaching sessions with Hugh were a great opportunity to take a step back and take stock of the things most important to me. The sessions were guided and facilitated excellently by Hugh, to draw out and build on some key life goals and help build a plan. I would thoroughly recommend these sessions to anyone feeling that they need greater focus on the most important things in life’”
Joe, Asset Management
“I wanted to check my own fitness routines and diet were having a positive effect on my body and mind. If they weren't, what could I do to improve this? Richard was amazing every step of the way and really was a pro. The blood test itself was very slick too. I got a lot from the programme. I changed a few things around: taking more regular moments after lunch to move, more standing desk time where manageable, and sometimes a high protein, low carb breakfast instead of fasting every day. I see the proposition as hugely valuable for busy City professionals 35+ as it was for me. Potentially life-changing (seriously).
Ray, Engineer
“My consultation with Hugh was my first experience of health coaching. I had initially thought that a health coach gave you tips and hacks on how to improve your health, but it turned out to be a more reflective session, as Hugh's questions allowed me to think more deeply about what I really wanted for my health and realistic, practical ways of achieving this. I had developed a habit of having something sweet after dinner, and I had a particular interest in ice cream! However, I had a bit of a light bulb moment as I conversed with Hugh and realised that having ice cream every day wasn't going to support my health goals, so I researched healthier dessert options and have now discovered that I enjoy yoghurt and fruit very much, so ice cream has now become an occasional treat. Thank you, Hugh, for helping me discover what is truly important to me.”
Will, Private Equity
“I think there is a big theme that health is the new wealth, and not enough people track it. Doing the programme with City Health Partners was a relief. It was reassuring to know that things weren't as bad as I expected with my health, but it gave me the space to work on things to improve how I was living. The combination of advanced diagnostic testing and personalised coaching is, I think, a game-changer, as there seems to be a lack of follow-on care with most ‘health services’. City Health Partners provides an evidence-based approach to personal wellbeing, and it's allowed me to move beyond guessing about whether I was functioning OK, to knowing, and being able to focus on metrics that actually impact my performance.”
Dougal, Lawyer
“I took part in the programme run by Hugh at City Health Partners, and I'd recommend it without hesitation. The programme had two strands. The first was a blood panel at the outset, testing a range of biomarkers to establish an objective baseline. The second, and for me the more valuable, was a series of six structured sessions with Hugh designed to identify the areas of my lifestyle and thinking that were getting in the way of my health, energy and general wellbeing, and then to address them methodically over the course of the programme. What set the experience apart was the structure. These weren't loose chats about wellness. Each session had a clear purpose, we tracked progress against specific areas, and the regular check-ins created a genuine sense of accountability. Knowing I'd be sitting down with Hugh to review how things had gone made me far more honest with myself between sessions, and far more likely to follow through. The practical impact has been real. The programme helped me target concrete improvements in my sleep, my diet and my exercise routine. Just as importantly, it sharpened my awareness of my own patterns of behaviour, the habits and assumptions I'd stopped noticing, and where the genuine areas for improvement were. That self-awareness has outlasted the sessions themselves. Hugh brings a rare combination of rigour and warmth to the work. He asks good questions, listens properly, and keeps the focus on what will move the needle rather than generic advice. I got a great deal of value out of the programme and would encourage anyone thinking about it to take part.”
Mark, Sales Trader
“I was initially interested in speaking to City Health Partners to see if it could bring improvement to my life generally. I really enjoyed the nature of the meetings, where I was asked questions that made me reflect honestly on different aspects of my life and recognise areas that could be improved on. During our conversations, I noted that my lack of shoulder mobility was likely going to hamper further progress in the gym. I was asked how many times a week I could realistically complete a routine to improve my shoulder mobility, and was then asked to ‘check in’ each time I did. I found this hugely beneficial, and that plan really motivated me to be consistent. I think this service would be valuable for anyone looking to make improvements in their lives, whether in terms of health, fitness, wellbeing or professionally. City Health Partners was a really positive and beneficial experience for me.”
Anh, Investment Banking
“I recently took part in the programme, and I couldn't recommend it enough. The whole process was incredibly quick and straightforward, especially the blood test, which was fast, easy, and completely hassle-free. What really surprised me was how much I learned about my own health. The results highlighted things I had never known before, giving me a much better understanding of where I was doing well and where I could make improvements. Having that insight has been invaluable. A huge thank you to Hugh, who was fantastic throughout the process. He asked all the right questions, really took the time to understand my lifestyle, and guided me in the right direction with practical, achievable advice. I never felt judged, just supported and encouraged. A few months on, I can honestly say the programme has had a lasting impact. I'm much more committed to maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle, I've become far more disciplined with my food choices, and I'm exercising consistently. It's helped me build healthier habits that I know I'll stick with for the long term. Thank you to Hugh and the team for such a positive and motivating experience!”
Peter, Technology Sales
“Learned a lot about the way I think and what is important to me. Learned processes that can be applied to all areas of my life, not just health and fitness. Identified my strengths and weaknesses and what does and doesn't work for me. Was concerned about my long-term health, having become middle-aged and comfortable, doing less physical activity and feeling less fit and confident in my own skin. The experience taught me some key health metrics that will be important to keep an eye on throughout my life. Most scored reasonably well, but it identified a few areas for improvement, particularly around my weight and cholesterol. It identified my ways of thinking and what can be done to help build better habits. Useful to anyone who is interested in getting more from life, understanding what you truly value when it comes to not just health and fitness, but life. Implementing positive, realistic and tailored changes to your lifestyle helps you achieve your goals. Accountability.”
