    About Jennifer Cohen

    Jennifer's Story

    When Jennifer was 17 years old, she had a dream of being a Much Music VJ. She wanted to send in a demo tape, but knew she had to make it special - she knew Keanu Reeves was in her hometown in Canada so she went after him, when she was a nobody, to be in her demo tape.

    She waited for him outside alone after a show -- she fought past hundreds of people to get to him and asked for his help with a deep, determined look in her eyes, not taking no for an answer.

    To her complete shock, he ended up calling her that week, came over to her house to shoot the video, and even had dinner with her family! When she asked him why, he said because he saw the drive and passion she had inside of her and he didn't want to let her down.

    That one incredible experience, filled her with the confidence and tenacity to go after all her dreams.

    She continued her career by getting a job with the Toronto Raptors for years.
    Afterwards, she expanded to the music industry where she intersected her business talents with fitness. She went on to train people like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and dozens of other big names.
