Eileen Rakowski

I am a dedicated and passionate fitness professional with a diverse background in both high-intensity and mindful movement practices. I spend my early mornings (5:30 am - 10:00 am) leading invigorating boot camp, cardio circuits and strength training sessions at the YMCA in Wyckoff, NJ.  I am committed to helping individuals of all fitness levels achieve their goals. My  approach to fitness is rooted in a deep understanding of the body’s mechanics, ensuring that each workout is not only challenging but also safe and effective.

In addition to the high-energy classes that I teach, I also bring a calm and centered energy to yoga instruction and stretching classes. I teach an all-level yoga class which is based in the Viniyoga tradition of synchronizing the movement with the breath.  I aim to create a welcoming environment where students can explore and deepen their practice. My yoga journey has been enriched by attending specialized training and workshops at the renowned Kripalu Yoga Center in Stockbridge, Massachusetts and completing 200 hour comprehensive yoga training at Yoga Synthesis in Ramsey, NJ.

I hold certifications in group fitness instruction through ACE (American Council on Exercise) and personal training through NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine). These credentials equip me with the knowledge to guide patrons through effective workout methods, ensuring proper technique and safety. I am skilled in identifying different muscle groups and offering tailored advice on how to strengthen them, making me a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall well-being.
