  Raquel Chocron

  Pilates Instructor

  My name is Raquel Chocron and I am from Caracas, Venezuela, where I was exceptionally inspired by the world of fitness and health. I completed a degree of odontology in my hometown while I raised my twins. Ten years ago my family and I moved to Miami, where my career in fitness truly took off. I attended a pilates class six years ago and instantly fell in love, motivating me to earn a certificate to teach. I completed this in Balance Body, and began my career as a teacher 4 years ago.
