I have been helping people get slimmer, fitter and healthier for over 20 years now and over the last few years I have become known as "The Weight Loss Guru" and this is why I started this free blog site.
This site is full of free inspirational information to support and motivate you as you move forward and achieve your goals. There are plenty of articles and videos as well as some excellent pod-casts with some of the leading Health and Fitness Professionals in the world.
What is a GURU?
A guru is a teacher, someone who leads a disciple to wisdom and self-realization. The word is formed by the syllables gu and ru. Gu indicates darkness, and ru indicates destruction. Thus, when translated directly, guru means ‘dispeller of darkness.’ GU and RU indicate the juxtaposition of light and dark, where ignorance is dark, and knowledge - particularly spiritual knowledge - is light.
My mission as the Weight Loss Guru is to liberate and free people from the constant battle of trying to lose weight and being on a merry-go-round of dieting. I want to inspire, support, encourage and motivate people to break habits and enjoy their lives.
My approach is about helping people with the following;
1. Belief in themselves
2. Being open to change
3. Conquering their fears
4. Showing them how to break bad habits
5. Giving them support and structure
6. How to feel good about what you are doing
7. Taking personal responsibility
8. Understanding exercise
9. Breaking down their journey into manageable chunks
10. Staying positive and motivated

Live online course with Pete
NEXT 8-WEEK LIVE ONLINE WITH PETE BEGINS SEPTEMBER 09!
Now it’s possible to go one step further and for you to be coached in person, by me, over the internet in real time!
Technological advancements now make this possible and anyone with a broadband Internet connection and a browser can log onto the Internet and take part in my LIVE eight week weight loss coaching programme.
Next year these courses will cost £250. But for only £100, you can join me on the first of these courses, starting on:
In terms of getting set up, all you’ll need is a Web Cam so that you can be part of the experience. If you haven’t got one, you’ll need to get one. They are easy to find and you can pick one up fairly cheaply. The software we will be using will allow you to ask questions in real time and will let me respond to these during the session.
As many of you know, I have run weight loss groups for years and helped many people get slimmer, fitter and healthier.
I loved doing these but they were always limited to people who lived near venues and were inaccessible to people from different parts of the country and world.
This is why I developed petecohen.tv – as it was the next best thing. It continues to be such a joy for me to be a part of people’s continued success.

In January we will be launching a new PCTV programme where we will be running eight-week courses on-line for a select number of people. These courses will run in real time and will deliver a personal touch by offering group coaching.
These courses will cost £250. We do, however, have a one time only exclusive offer for you. For just £100, you can join me on the first of these courses, starting on Tuesday 29th September at 8.pm. This offer is only available until the end of August, so sign up soon. This will be a larger group and will run for one hour each week for eight weeks. It will start the week after the Exceptional Weight Loss Athlete Challenge finishes.
It’s a great opportunity to be coached by me in person and for you to receive a real personal touch. It’s a great chance for your specific needs to be addressed and resolved over the 8 weeks. There will be a focus on breaking the habits that have held you back and helping you create ones that not only help you lose weight but, more importantly, keep it off.
There will also be new tools and techniques for you to use as well as opportunities for you to get to know others and develop a stronger supportive network.
If you don't have an inbuilt microphone on your computer then you might want to consider getting a headset to ensure a better quality experience. USB sets provide the best audio quality (especially Plantronics and Logitech). We recommend USB headsets rather than analogue as they can interfere with sound cards but also have 2 jacks which can cause confusion for end users. Whilst a good quality headset is recommended there are other things that can be adjusted to ensure their full performance. You can pick any of these up fairly cheaply.
If you don't have an inbuilt camera on your computer then we suggest a web camera.
