IT'S NOT JUST PILATES IT'S ABOUT YOU
PILATES is a system of exercises that involves the major muscle groups in the body. It's not the individual movements , but the entire series that has kept the Pilates Method effective for over 80 years. The system is based on placement of the anatomy and improvement of the circulatory system, as well as stretching and strengthening of the entire body.

THE ADVENTURE
Jose A. Ruiz Carreton, a Second Generation Pilates Instructor, established Zarhcos, a pioneering Pilates studio in New York, which opened its doors in 2004.
Jose began his journey in Pilates in 2002, training under Romana Kryzanowska, a direct disciple of Joseph H. Pilates, at Drago's Gym as an independent student. That same year, Romana initiated her esteemed Pilates Certification Programme at Drago's Gym, and after dedicated study, Jose attained his certification. He subsequently taught alongside distinguished instructors, including Romana Kryzanowska, Edwina Fontaine, Jerome Weinberg, Sari Mejia (Romana's daughter), and Cynthia Shipley, for over six years.
In 2013, Jose worked in the same Pilates studio as Bob Liekens, contributing to the epilogue of Peter Fiasca's book, "Voices of Classical Pilates."
