Strength and Fitness - Body Care and Maintenance
It's never too early or too late to take care of the only body you'll ever have.
With 25 years of experience as a personal trainer, I know what works and just as important, what doesn't. I specialise in 30 minute whole body fitness with a two part focus; one toward the aesthetics of Tone and Body Shaping and the other directed on Body Care and Maintenance with it's emphasis on core, flexibility and functional based training.
Hey, I just turned 60, I need to think about that stuff!
A Little Background and a Reality Check

About Paul
25 (but really) 44 Years in the Making
My name is Paul Duckworth, I'm an American living in Ireland since 2002 and after years of working in fitness clubs, started Paul Duckworth Fitness in January, 2016.
Let's just say that I've been doing this for a long time. My "official" personal training certification may say March, 2000 but what I do today really goes back to 1981 when I was 17 years old and doing Jane Fonda workouts with my mom using big, clunky video cassettes. Remember them? Watching Jane I couldn't believe that teaching exercise could be a job. Sure beats working for a living! It could at least be a non paying job because my father was my first client and my payment was being allowed to eat, sleep and live in the house. 100% Family Discount! From the seed of an idea in 1981 to the present day in 2025, I've been exercising and teaching fitness in one form or another for 44 years. No wonder I'm tired!
I owe it all to Mom, Dad, my sister-in-law and Jane Fonda.

- 1.Whether you're 30, 40, 50 or like me 60 +, I have a workout that will push you to your limits but always based on your current level of fitness and ability.
- 2. If you're a beginner, just getting started again or a seasoned exerciser, that's our starting point. Then we'll progress and make you stronger.
- 3. When it comes to fitness, variety makes it fun, so every workout will be different. No "same old, same old" routines, that's boring.
- 4. Dumbbells, Barbells, Kettlebells, Medicine Balls, stability Balls, Resistance Bands, Suspension Trainers, Sliders, Ropes and Bodyweight. Lots of Bodyweight!
I love what I do for a living and as challenging as weight loss and fitness is, I try to make each and every session and everyone's program as enjoyable as possible. I figure that If you're going to suffer, you may as well enjoy it but believe me, I know it burns. A lot. But in a good way :)
Getting Started
There is no such thing as a one size fits all formula for weight loss and toning.
Every person and situation is different.
- 1. We begin with an in-person or online consultation.
- 2. We move on to your goals such as weight loss, fitness or body shaping.
- 3. Next, we review prior exercise history and determine your current fitness level.
- 4. We discuss nutrition, training and what is required to achieve your goal.
- 5. Lastly, if moving forward, we arrange and schedule training times.
