At Poseidon Performance, we celebrate the diversity of athletic journeys, and few are as inspiring as that of Rosie Jessop. A former jockey, Rosie transitioned into the world of powerlifting, earning recognition as a Bahrain National Champion. But her athletic evolution didn’t stop there. With the motivation and support of Poseidon Performance, she ventured into boxing and is now a certified personal trainer with the International Fitness Alliance. Here’s how Rosie’s journey unfolded, with Nicholas Martin-Jones and Poseidon Performance playing a key role in her transformation.

The Early Days – A Jockey’s Path

Rosie Jessop’s career began in a world far removed from the weight room: horse racing. As a jockey, Rosie was accustomed to the demanding physical and mental discipline required to compete. However, after years of competing in such a high-stakes sport, she sought new challenges that would push her beyond her limits in different ways.

Transition to Powerlifting

Rosie’s entry into the world of powerlifting was driven by her desire to test her physical strength. With the guidance of Nicholas Martin-Jones, Rosie’s athleticism and competitive spirit were channeled into the discipline of strength training. Nicholas developed a training plan specifically for Rosie, focusing on building her foundational strength, improving her technique, and preparing her for the intensity of competition.

In a short time, Rosie’s dedication and hard work paid off. She not only competed but thrived, becoming a Bahrain National Champion in powerlifting. Her strength numbers soared, particularly in the deadlift and squat, and her confidence grew as she realized the potential within herself to excel in yet another demanding sport.

The Next Challenge – Boxing

Never one to rest on her laurels, Rosie sought out her next challenge: boxing. This transition required a different set of skills and a new mindset. While powerlifting is a display of raw strength, boxing demanded agility, endurance, and mental fortitude. Once again, Rosie turned to Nicholas and Poseidon Performance for guidance as she trained at Round One Boxing Bahrain.

Nicholas helped Rosie develop the physical conditioning and mental resilience needed for the sport. By incorporating cardio, agility drills, and boxing-specific strength work into her training, Rosie rapidly progressed. She adapted to the technical demands of boxing, developing powerful strikes and the stamina needed to last in the ring.

Becoming a Personal Trainer

With experience in multiple competitive sports, Rosie’s passion for fitness and her desire to help others led her to become a certified personal trainer with the International Fitness Alliance. She now shares the lessons she learned along her journey, motivating and coaching others to achieve their own fitness goals.

Poseidon Performance played a significant role in Rosie’s transformation, offering not just physical training but mental encouragement and support throughout her evolving athletic career. Nicholas helped her unlock her full potential across multiple sports and transition into a successful fitness career.

Rosie Jessop’s journey from jockey to powerlifter, boxer, and personal trainer showcases the versatility of athletic talent and the importance of a supportive, personalized training approach. At Poseidon Performance, Nicholas Martin-Jones empowered Rosie to not only excel in strength sports but also balance her professional jockey career with her other athletic achievements.
