- Suzanne D., Darien CT

"Amazing Journey"

"Pilates with Paul Fuller continues to be an amazing journey where his instruction takes you to the next level of fitness and health. I’ve been his client for the past several years and he has really improved my physical health, especially my shoulders, by designing a Pilates program for me that addresses my specific needs. This is Paul’s gift for sure; the ability to see one’s body and develop a Pilates program that is unique to the individual and address their particular strengths and more importantly, devise a program that strengthen the weak/underdeveloped muscles in their body.
Paul’s new studio is beautiful! It’s airy, bright, clean and organized. He is very detail-oriented, and it shows in how well the studio is organized. Paul is extremely knowledgeable, caring, kind and focused. All these qualities distinguish Paul Fuller and his studio from other studios in the area.
I highly recommend Essential Pilates& Fitness to anyone who is looking to begin a Pilates program, or to Pilates students and even instructors who want to advance their practice"

- Jean M., Darien CT

"Working with the best for my 1st time around"

"I wanted to email and thank you so much for having us both over to your place for a "duet." I wanted to thank you personally. I always had an idea of what you all do, now I know what you do.

Your command of your stage is precise and exacting. You are working with 2 at different levels of experience and monitor both as we proceed with the ability to adjust routine for all depending on stress and input from your clients. What a skill to have in life overall! Intermittent stretches to ease off and then back to routine... continuous flow and re-organization.

~ Keven C., Norwalk CT

"You can't go wrong with Essential Pilates and the entire staff"

After years of trying every type of workout under the sun, I have finally found a truly life changing/body transforming gem! Essential Pilates is the best. Paul is a Pilates God! I have back and neck issues and both have gotten better after just a few sessions. The space is convenient, bright and has every piece of Pilates equipment needed. You can't go wrong with Essential Pilates and the entire staff. 💪

"I highly recommend Essential Pilates & Fitness to all"

"Paul Fuller was one of my first Pilates instructors over 15 years ago. Already a fitness professional and yoga instructor, I was drawn to and inspired by his acute understanding of anatomy and physiology, in addition to his solid study of PIlates. I eventually went on and became a (PMA) Certified Pilates Instructor and had ongoing mentoring by Paul, in addition to continuing my own Pilates practice under his instruction. I highly recommend Essential Pilates & Fitness to all -- whether you are brand new to the system or an advanced instructor, elite athlete or someone with chronic conditions or injuries, Paul, and any instructor who works with him, is highly qualified to help you reach your goals through this amazing system of Pilates!"

~ Peggy L., Charleston SC

"My happy place!"

My happy place! Paul and anyone who teaches for Paul are true professionals. I’ve been training now 3 days a week for almost two years and it’s been transformational on all levels. I didn’t realize Pilates was a whole body work out. My body has never been stronger—I’m in the best shape of my life thanks to Essential Pilates! 💕💕

~ Charisse C., Rowayton CT
