"Jennifer Cohen" (born September 16, 1976) is a personal trainer, author, fitness personality and body image consultant living in Los Angeles, California. Cohen is best known for her appearance on the CW's Shedding for the Wedding and her involvement with Weight Watchers.

Career

Cohen began her career as a personal trainer focusing on workouts that can be done with little or no equipment outside of a gym. Cohen is from Winnipeg, Canada[1] and she has degrees in Psychology from the University of Manitoba, a Masters in Sports Marketing from George Brown College in Toronto,[2] and numerous fitness certifications. Her articles and quotes have appeared in Redbook[3], People[4] and Perez Hilton's fitness-centric website FitPerez. The FitPerez site called Cohen "One of our favorite fitness experts."[5]

Cohen is the CEO of NGR Fit, NGR standing for No Gym Required. The company is known for its wellness toning shoe, the NGR Shoe, a weighted fitness shoe that claims to burn more calories than walking with regular shoes (cite). The shoes have been worn by celebrities including the stars of TV’s Desperate Housewives, Courtney Cox, Mary J Blige, Jennifer Garner [6], Debra Messing, Eliza Dushku, Denise Richards [7] and Whitney Port [8].

Cohen is also a spokesperson for Muscle Milk. In Summer 2011 she held classes at Muscle Milk Fitness Retreats in Los Angeles [9] and Miami [10]

Cohen also endorses Polar heart rate monitors as a Polar Partner. "I have seen first-hand how Polar keeps people motivated and helps them accomplish the ultimate goal of losing weight, keeping healthy and staying active." Cohen said in a press release regarding the partnership[11]

Cohen began working with Weight Watchers in Spring 2011. She became a spokesperson for the Weight Watchers Walk -It Challenge, [13] a 5k walk in LA and various locations throughout the United States on May 22, 2011. The philosophy of working weight management and exercise into a sustainable program is congruent with Cohen's no gym required method of training.
