    FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY

    Let’s uppstart with the basics! How did you get into teaching?

    I had three options when inom was 18: I could become a firefighter, an aerobics instructor, or inom could work on the oil rigs.

    I was leaning towards working on the oil rigs - because I’d heard the pay was incredible - but the tidsplanering was wrong: they did six weeks on and 10 days off, and the six week cycle had just started igen. So inom decided to do the course to teach aerobics. And to be honest, I felt a bit silly at the uppstart. But from there inom started working as a personal trainer and took further courses in strength and conditioning, and inom just fell in love with it.

    At one scen I was teaching 35 classes a week! inom taught at 10 different clubs and I would cycle my pushbike from one club to another - in the misery of the English weather – as I didn’t have a car back then. I’d often do multiple classes back to back, a double, triple. I taught an array of classes such as circuit, aqua, dance aerobics...

    “HAVING A CHILD WITH HEALTH ISSUES HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED MY MINDSET”

    SARAH SHORTT:

    Hi Dan! It’s been a while since we caught up. What’s been going on in your life over the past few years?

    DAN COHEN:

    So the biggest change in my personal life is that my eldest daughter, Zara, was diagnosed with a rare eye disease: chronic bilateral uveitis. It's an inflammation of the eye that can cause pain and affect vision. The first six weeks of even trying to understand all this was very hard for us, and we pretty much lived in Starship [Children’s Hospital] over the past year.

    It’s likely that it’s been caused by an underlying health condition, so she’s had to undergo all these tests for things like tuberculosis, cancer, trauma, auto-immune deficiency, arthritis, and so forth. Eventually the cause for her condition came back as “unknown”. On the one hand this is good, as there’s no apparent major problem to treat, but on the other hand, it’s not good, because we’d like to know what t

    Dan Cohen

    Dan Cohen wasn’t always planning on a career in fitness. As an 18-year-old he was eyeing up a job on the oil rigs, but he literally missed the boat – the job ran in 6-week cycles and the timing was all out. While waiting for the next intake he started an exercise-to-music course, this quickly led to personal training and further courses in strength and conditioning. It was soon very clear fitness was his calling.

    After picking up experience teaching every type of group fitness workout under the sun, in 1998 Dan joined the Les Mills International Trainer team, traveling to places like Japan, Portugal and Germany to train and motivate new instructors. In 2003 secured the role of BODYCOMBAT™ co-program director and relocated to New Zealand. In 2011 he added the role of
    CXWORX™ program director into the mix.

    These days Dan applies his creativity and fitness expertise to shape new BODYCOMBAT and CXWORX workouts every three months. In between creating the new releases he m
