If you want to keep horse riding as you get older… your body has to keep up.

Most people don’t stop riding because they want to.
They stop because something starts to hurt… strength drops… balance goes… confidence fades.

It’s not age.
It’s capacity.

Riding demands more than people realise:
– balance and coordination
– core strength and control
– leg strength and endurance
– the ability to stay stable under movement and fatigue

If you don’t train those qualities, they decline.

At Poseidon Performance in Dartmouth, we work with adults 50+ who want to stay active, capable, and independent—whether that’s riding, walking the coast path, or just feeling strong again.

This isn’t a gym.
It’s fully coached, structured training in a private studio.

Small groups (max 6)
Individual guidance
No guesswork
No being thrown into a class

Just clear, progressive training that keeps you doing what you enjoy—for longer.

If riding is something you want to keep in your life, now’s the time to start.

One week to go until the London Marathon.

You’ve done the training.
Mileage, long runs, taper… it’s all there.

But most people only think about the race -
not what happens after.

Because the reality is:
– calves tighten up
– hips stiffen
– movement changes
– small niggles start to creep in

And that’s where people either recover well…
or spend the next 4–6 weeks feeling broken.

At Poseidon, I’m opening a limited number of post–marathon recovery sessions the week after London.

These aren’t generic treatments.
They’re short, targeted sessions focused on:
– restoring movement
– reducing stiffness
– getting you back training properly

Available 28 April – 2 May
Dartmouth studio - small number of slots only.

If you’re running London and want to recover properly,
book in or drop me a message.

“I didn’t think I’d be squatting or deadlifting again.”

Georgia runs a busy business in Dartmouth.
Long days. On her feet. Always moving.

Back and hip pain had just become… normal.

Not bad enough to stop.
But enough to limit things.
Enough to knock confidence.

We didn’t avoid it.

We rebuilt it.

Now she’s:
– squatting
– deadlifting
– and trusting her body again

That’s the shift.

Not just stronger — more capable.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not far off where Georgia started.

“I didn’t think I’d ever be squatting or deadlifting again.”

Georgia, local business owner in Dartmouth, came in with back and hip pain.

Nothing dramatic.
Just enough to limit her and knock her confidence.

Like most people, she’d just learned to work around it.

We didn’t.

We built her back up properly:
– structured strength
– coached movement
– no guesswork

Now she’s:
✔️ Squatting
✔️ Deadlifting
✔️ Trusting her body again

That’s the difference.

If your back or hips are starting to hold you back, don’t wait until it gets worse.

Quick one as this comes up in Dartmouth regularly.

Being told to stop lifting because of prolapse is really common…
but it’s often not necessary.

Things like heaviness or leaking can feel worrying, but they usually just mean the body is struggling with the amount of pressure being put through it—not that you’ve done any damage.

With a few adjustments, most people can keep training safely and build back confidence over time.

If anyone’s dealing with this and not sure where to start, feel free to message me or ask here—happy to help

Can you lift weights with prolapse? Learn how strength training, load management, and proper programming allow you to train safely without worsening symptoms.

Most women think a prolapse means they have to stop lifting.

They don’t.

What they actually need…
is to stop training like pressure doesn’t matter.

Heaviness. Dragging. Leakage.
That’s not “damage.”

That’s your body telling you:
👉 you’re exceeding what you can currently manage

The mistake isn’t the weights.
It’s how you’re using them.

Holding your breath.
Bracing like a powerlifter.
Chasing fatigue instead of control.

That’s what drives symptoms.

Because training with a prolapse isn’t about avoiding strength…

It’s about managing pressure under load.

✔️ Controlled reps
✔️ Smart exercise selection
✔️ Breathing that works with you—not against you
✔️ Progression without flare-ups

You don’t need to train scared.

You need to train properly.

Table and chairs have quietly appeared outside the studio.

Coffee after training.
Sun when it’s out.
A bit of space to sit, talk, and actually enjoy it.

Not rushed in. Not rushed out.

Just part of the experience.

Most people don’t start training because they’re unsure of one thing…

“Is this actually for me?”

At Poseidon, it’s not about athletes, fitness trends, or pushing people beyond their limits.

It’s about real people who want to:
– feel stronger
– move better
– stay independent
– and train without worrying about injury

Everything we do is:
✔️ Fully coached
✔️ Small group (max 6)
✔️ Structured and progressive
✔️ Adjusted to your level

You won’t be left guessing.
You won’t be thrown into a class.
You won’t be handed a generic programme and left to get on with it.

Every session is coached, adjusted, and built around you.

Most people who start were unsure before they walked in.

Now they train every week.

If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your sign to start.

Book your first session below or message me “START” and I’ll guide you through it.

Grow your glutes. 🍑

Everyone says it.
Most people train it badly.

If you’re doing RDLs chasing a burn or a squeeze…
you’ve already missed the point.

RDLs are a hip hinge under load.

Not a “feel your glutes” exercise.
A produce force exercise.

Research shows deadlift variations heavily recruit the posterior chain - hamstrings, erectors, and glutes - especially under load 

So if it’s heavy, controlled, and progressing…

👉 your glutes are working
👉 your glutes are adapting
👉 your glutes are growing

Whether you feel them or not.

Stop chasing sensation.
Start chasing load and progression.
