Inside Poseidon Performance: Dartmouth and South Hams’ Exclusive Training and Rehab Studio
A Studio Built for Dartmouth and the South Hams
The South Hams is known for its active lifestyle — from gig rowing in Dartmouth, to cycling the hills of Totnes, sailing out of Salcombe, and running the coastal paths. Until now, the region lacked a truly private, science-driven training and rehabilitation space.
Poseidon Performance changes that. Our Dartmouth studio was designed for those who want elite standards and exclusive coaching, without leaving the South Hams.
More Than a Gym
Poseidon Performance isn’t a gym. There are no crowded rooms or endless rows of treadmills. Instead, we offer a private, appointment-only studio where training is intentional and results-driven.
Here’s what makes us different:
Small-group training (maximum 6) for individual attention.
Private, climate-controlled studio with no distractions.
Rehab, conditioning, and strength coaching tailored to your needs.
Whether you’re returning from surgery, starting strength training at 50, or preparing for competition, Poseidon Performance provides an environment built for progress.
World-Class Equipment, Local to You
Poseidon is one of the only studios in South Devon equipped with Eleiko IPF-spec racks, bars, and calibrated plates — the global gold standard trusted by Olympians and world champions.
This ensures that every client, from beginners to advanced lifters, trains with equipment designed for safety, precision, and performance.
Elite Expertise, Brought Home
Our founder, Nicholas Martin-Jones, is a former Royal Marines Commando Physical Training Instructor with over 20 years of experience in rehabilitation and performance coaching. He has worked with F1 drivers, Olympic medalists, BJJ world champions, and Tier 1 UK Special Forces.
Now, that expertise is available right here in Dartmouth for the South Hams community.
Our specialisms include:
Rehabilitation & Return to Play (RTP) – guiding clients from surgery or injury back to full strength.
Strength & Longevity Training for 50+ – improving bone health, mobility, and resilience.
Sports-Specific Conditioning – from Dartmouth gig rowers to South Hams equestrians, sailors, and runners.
