There may not be another person in Major League Baseball with the same job as Robyn Cohen, and that’s fitting for her unique path into sports.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in dance performance and that was her passion when she moved to Los Angeles after college. Later, she worked as a magician’s assistant for years and appeared in illusionist stunts. She was a Pilates instructor for physical therapy patients during the week while traveling for magic shows on the weekends.
Pilates may not have been at the forefront in the beginning, but it is now. Cohen is on the Cincinnati Reds’ big-league staff as their Pilates and mobility coach.
