In this episode of The Independent Teacher podcast, I’m joined by personal trainer Tristan Buttle to talk about fitness, wellbeing, and why playing the long game really matters.

Tristan shares what led him into personal training. He also considers what advice he would give to his younger self, to 18-year-old Tristan. We explore why sustainable change isn’t about quick fixes or extreme routines, but about small, consistent steps that actually last.

A practical, grounded listen for anyone looking to build fitness habits that stick — without pressure or extremes.
