Michael Cohen is a native of Savannah, Georgia born to Howard and Carol Cohen.  Michael made a name for himself in the sport of Olympic weightlifting, having won many National, Junior National, Senior, and Master Championships.  Michael is a 3 time Olympian - one of the few in any sport to go as an athlete and a coach.  
He made the 1980 Olympic team and went on to be a member of the 2000 and 2004 Olympic teams as the head coach.  ​In 1988, Michael founded Team Savannah and produced numerous National, World, Pan American and Olympic athletes.
Michael is also the founder of GEM - Get Excited and Move - an exercise program for those with Parkinson's and other movement disorders designed to keep these individuals moving and using their voice. This program is unique in that Michael treats all of his clients as athletes - not patients. It focuses on balance and mobility and has been shown to slow the progression of the disease.
​This program is available in a class setting or at home - one on one.
