Eileen brings a strong background in both education and fitness. She spent 25 years as a high school science teacher in Allendale, NJ. and instructs group fitness and yoga classes at the YMCA.

Eileen teaches a variety of fitness classes, including yoga, rebounding, strength training, and Osteoblast. Her passion for wellness and helping others live healthy, active lives shines through in all she does.

At 53 years old, Eileen was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis of the lumbar spine (-3.4 T score) and osteopenia in the hip (-1.9 T score). This diagnosis led her on a journey to understand the condition and help others that were in the same situation. She pursued additional fitness trainings including Senior Fitness Specialist Program and BuffBones.

Eileen thoroughly enjoys working with the Osteoblast participants. She feels so blessed to be able to put her love of teaching and her passion for helping others into practice. She is thrilled to be a part of the Ridgewood YMCA community.
