One of the biggest myths in fitness is that you need to be fit before you hire a trainer. You start where you are. Steady, gradual but continual progress. That’s the job. Follow for honest fitness advice. Tristan ‘long game’ Buttle.
Feeling absolutely destroyed after every single session isn’t a badge of honour. Good training challenges you without grinding you down. Good training is progressive not regressive. Especially as we get older, the right dose matters more than ever. Follow me if you want training that actually supports your life. Tristan ‘devil is in the dose’ […]
Let me ask you something: How many times have you tried to “start again” only to fall off because the plan wasn’t built for your real life? How often have you walked into a gym feeling watched… rushed… unsure what to do — and told yourself you should just “figure it out”? And how many programs […]
You’ve probably done a 6, 8 or 12 week challenge at some point? Maybe you even got good results during it? So why didn’t they last? What went wrong? How do you feel after you stopped?

Inconsistent Schedule: Random workouts = random results. Consistency is ALWAYS the answer. Not Tracking Progress: If you’re not logging […]
Your body only adapts when you give it a reason to. Progressive overload isn’t about ego lifting — it’s about small, consistent increases over time. Progressive Overload is one of THE most important principals of building muscle. Progressive Overload refers to either: a) an increase in weight. b) an increase in reps. c) a combination […]

But, between work, school runs, and endless to-do lists, you probably feel you don’t have time for yourself? The thought of spending an […]
Most workouts for busy parents are rubbish… Most workouts I see on here that are aimed at ‘busy parents’ are not effective at all…. In fact, most are a bit rubbish, especially if your goal is to build muscle & change your body shape. If you are a busy parent, you have far less time to waste […]
