WHAT IS EUPHONIC HEALTH COACHING?
At Euphonic Health we design custom programs for the complete picture of what makes you fit and healthy. Combining comprehensive fully tailored nutrition and lifestyle protocols with functional, minimal equipment workouts we help you develop strength from body through to mind. Why is this important? With strength comes the potential to show up better for ourselves and others in our life. What is more important than this?
The internet has been one of the greatest blessings to health and fitness but also one of the worst. Everyone has a voice, information is freely accessible and as a result, knowing what to do has become increasingly difficult to understand. With our evidence-based approach, we cut through this noise helping you to progress faster and stay on track with the goals you have set for yourself. Faster doesn't mean easier, you still have to work hard! However, you can rest assured that the work you are doing is the right work bringing with it lasting and meaningful change.
CUSTOM TRAINING
Exercising often brings to mind hours plodding away on the treadmill followed by a few thousand abdominal crunches. Not only is this a boring and uninspiring way to train it is also incredibly ineffective and is in no way conducive to building a strong and healthy body. At Euphonic Health building strength, increasing performance, and looking and feeling great are our goals and we achieve this through time-tested methods combined with the latest in exercise science. The barbell, kettlebell, bodyweight, and gymnastic rings will be our tools of choice - tempered with a huge dose of fun. Working the whole body, incorporating the longest effective range of motion with progressive weight loading, our training modalities carve not only the body you want but the one you need to perform at your best. Working outside, at your home, or in the more traditional gym environment we adapt these tools to meet the needs and goals you have as an individual.
CUSTOM NUTRITION
The rise of health and fitness in the '90s has left us with a warped understanding of how to eat for health and performance. Dry chicken breasts, overcooked broccoli, and the obsession with punishment and abstinence still haunt us to this day. This one-dimensional thinking is holding us back on many levels and we are excited at Euphonic Health to be at the forefront of finally dispelling these myths. Working with your unique biology, tastes, budget, and psychology we build a nutrition programme for you to get the best out of you. Performance (mental and physical) is a key focus here with us guiding you on how best to eat and drink to support your brain and body. Let's not forget aesthetics and how you want to shape your body, we will show you the foods to eat and the ones to avoid whether your goal is losing body fat, gaining muscle, or a combination of both.
BRAIN-BODY OPTIMISATION
This is the big one, the missing piece of the puzzle and sadly the area most overlooked in our life due to modern living. Eating right? Doing all the correct exercises but still holding onto extra weight, or waking up tired every morning? The answer is in your daily habits (not the ones you would expect) and how they are wreaking havoc on your brain and hormonal systems. Working with simple tweaks in sleep patterns, light, heat exposure, and of course food we show you how to melt away stress and steer your brain and biology toward a state of higher performance.

How It Works
1. Chose Your Coaching
Are you looking to train face-to-face in Glasgow? Do you prefer a virtual coaching experience from the comfort of your own home? Or does your interest and goals lie more closely with your nutrition? After matching with your preferred coaching we will have a detailed discussion to get to know your background and goals to begin creating your programme.
2. Programme Design
After our initial consultation, we will begin crafting the programme that fits you best. If signed up for the full coaching experience we will check your current mobility, strength, and movement capabilities. Ask you to log your eating for a week and to answer questions relating to sleep and stress. If signed up for nutrition coaching we will ask you to keep a detailed eating log for the week via MyFitnessPal.
3. Receive Your Programme and Get Going!
This is the exciting part! We send you your programme and begin setting the wheels in motion for lasting change. Depending on which coaching package is selected we will agree on times and dates for weekly check-ins and locations for face-to-face training sessions in Glasgow. Instant messaging support is also provided to help you with any challenges or questions that may arise as you work through the programme.
4. Programme Updates
As we work together more closely the programme will be fine-tuned and updated to best match the progress you are making. Continually assessing form and technique, keeping track of sleep, diet, and overall performance and well-being the programme will evolve and adjust to match your pace and development.
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Don't see your question here? No problem simply drop us a line on our contact page and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
How do I get started?
If you have read through all the information and are interested in getting started then you can contact us here to arrange a discussion where we will get to know your needs and goals in more depth to design the best possible programme for you.
What does the coaching include?
Check out the coaching enquiry page to get specific details on what is offered for each type of coaching.
What is the commitment for coaching?
We are interested in helping you form deep and lasting habits and this requires time and dedication. From our experience, this is an absolute minimum of 4 months commitment although clients always stay longer due to the drastic results and changes they see. If this isn't you and instead you are looking for the next quick fix then you would be best served to look elsewhere for coaching.
Is it possible to sign up solely for nutrition coaching?
Yes, coaching focused specifically on nutrition is an option. You can read about it here and what is included.
What kind of training is it?
Our training is centred around compound bodyweight exercises performed on the gymnastic rings for example dips, pull-ups, rows, etc. We have found these to be accessible and scalable for all levels and the most effective for building all-around strength, flexibility, and mobility. Weights and the barbell are also used where clients prefer this style of training for instance in a gym environment however, they are not necessary, with just the gymnastic rings and bands we can build and sculpt an incredible body.
How many workouts will I get per week?
Workout frequency is informed by your goals and previous experience. We will co-create your training schedule based on these goals meaning workouts can range from 3 days a week right up to 6. We discuss all this in detail with you during our initial consultation period meaning you know what you will be doing and why.
What equipment do I need to workout?
We recommend that you have a set of gymnastic rings, a theraband for warming up, and some resistance bands of variable strength. A barbell, external weights, and a kettlebell can be used too if available to you however these are not necessary. In your consultation, we will discuss your particular situation and adapt the programme accordingly to help you get the best out of what you have.
What format does my programme come in?
Your programme will be sent in an easy-to-understand PDF which can be read and opened on all electronic devices. The programme will include warmups, workouts, instructions for the plan based on the targets and goals we have set, and links to instructional videos of the exercises you will perform in the program.
Can I be coached if I have an injury or if I'm recovering from an injury?
All our clients fill out a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) during our initial consultation phase where we gauge more accurately your ability and safety to exercise. In most cases, clients get the green light upon which we make sure they are training safely and as pain-free as possible. Working around injuries until healing has taken place or strengthening post-injury we programme accordingly to keep you active and moving safely speeding up the healing process.
Do I need a gym membership?
Absolutely not! While some of our clients prefer to work in a gym environment and to take their gymnastic rings and bands with them there, it is not a requirement. Whether you prefer working outdoors in a park or indoors at home or in a garage we will adapt your programme to maximise your training location.
Do I need previous experience?
Previous experience is welcomed but by no means a necessity. Whatever level you are at the training will be adapted to meet your experience and the particular needs you have.
What kind of nutrition coaching is involved?
Similar to your workout programme your nutrition will be customised and individualised for you with a focus on fueling your body with the right foods in the right quantities to help you perform at your best. Based on our initial consultation where we highlight your top priorities and ongoing feedback this can be simple things such as ways to potentiate and increase hydration to more complex and detailed macronutrient plans. Regardless of whether you are vegan or eating full carnivore, we will guide you on how best to fuel for health and exercise.
What do the individual one-off sessions include?
The individual one-hour session can take place either face-to-face in Glasgow or online and can be spent running through a full workout. Focusing solely on one lift. Improving technique. Assessing form and movement patterns. Motivating you to push through to your next PR or goals you have set. Discussing effective nutrition and programming. Or a combination of all of the above. Our discussion beforehand will help determine the route we decide to go down together so you know exactly what to expect when we meet, hitting the ground running to squeeze the absolute most out of the hour we have together.
Four months of coaching is a big financial commitment what if I don't like it?
We agree four months can seem like a big investment and we understand you may have doubts. Firstly let us reassure you we have yet to have anyone leave the coaching programme early. Secondly what other clients have found beneficial is to sign up for a few individual sessions. This allows them to get a taste of the coaching so to speak to make sure it is for them before signing up for a full four-month block. Lastly, we are here to chat and support you via email or phone if you would like to discuss this particular point with us in more detail.
Can I pay for my coaching in instalments?
Yes, for our online and in-person coaching, we give you the option to pay per month instead of a lump total for a four-month (or longer) block. The only difference is with individual sessions which need to be paid in advance for obvious reasons.
