"As a Pilates instructor and studio owner, I take great pride in the information I am able to relay to my staff and students. I have had the privilege of training under Enja Schneck for 10 years. Her education base is thorough, well researched and her well trained eye is a huge asset to anyone looking to align, strengthen and improve their pilates practice. There are few people I would trust with training my body, my staff and my students, but I can say with confidence that a teacher training developed by her will be true to the method, anatomy of the body, and a positive and supportive learning experience for those enrolled."

"I am a Power Pilates teacher trained by Susan Moran and Bob Liekens in NYC as of 2008. Ten years after a fitness teaching career in NYC, I moved to Maine and in 2011 I founded the Pilates Center of Maine. I am a certified ACSM personal trainer and fitness consultant.
Enja is my mentor and my go to teacher for my own practice when frequenting NYC.
Enja is one of the most experienced Pilates teachers in NYC and I’m extremely fortunate to have had Enja as a teacher’s teacher starting in 2007 and still today! She has advised me in purchasing Pilates equipment with her inside industry knowledge, she has given me tools for helping special case clients with her expertise and knowledge of kinesiology and anatomy, she has helped me broaden my knowledge of advanced exercises of the method, and she has given supportive business owner advice.
Enja’s care and focus to her clients is an attribute to her obvious desire and passion to preserve the integrity of the classical method. Her verbal cues and quick wit separates her from the rest.
I have learned invaluable lessons on accurate tactical queuing, functional anatomy of Pilates movements, the skill of controlling the flow of a session while maintaining laser focus with grace, and the ability to pull more from the client and having them perform above their expectations.
I have with excitement directed many clients in NYC and abroad to work with Enja. She will always deliver an almost flawless encouraging session and push you to discover more. A true expert and professional.
I hope to work with Enja for many many years to come!"

"Enja Schenck has been my mentor and teacher for over a decade. Under her tutelage I have been able to flourish as a Pilates instructor and a student of movement. Enja has an in depth knowledge in the Pilates method as well as the anatomy and physiology of the body that she is excited to share, and her generosity has gifted me with my own expertise. Ten years down the road and I am still learning new things every time I see her. Her teaching style continues to both push me to explore new ways I can move and also allows me to see how I can use Pilates to improve existing pathways and work around injuries. After every time I see her I am motivated to instill the same passion and understanding in my clients. As a mentor, Enja has been there for me through many life changes and I am thankful to always have her and Contrology to create stability in my life and my body."
Eva Lucks, Senior Pilates Teacher
Brooklyn, NY
"Enja Schenck is an amazing teacher who is uniquely well-versed in classical Pilates technique as well as exercise science. I began training with Enja two years ago, when I had seven years experience teaching Pilates. I found that her depth of knowledge of the classical repertoire, as well as her knowledge of the science behind movement and exercise, improved not only my Pilates practice but my skill as a teacher. Enja has an eagle eye for form, and the clarity of her cues and instructions for each exercise is unmatched."

What CLIENTS say about Enja:
"I have been working out with Enja for over three years and Pilates is now a major part of my life because of her. I always feel strong and well-balanced, mentally and physically, after all of my sessions with her. A session with Enja is intense, precise, fun, and rehabilitative, if necessary. Enja's knowledge of the body is amazing and allows for more precise and tailored workouts. I am an avid snowboarder in the winter and have experienced my share of injuries from the sport. I am able to continue practicing Pilates as we are able to address any injuries and work with and around them. I have worked out with many instructors and without a doubt, Enja is the best."
Cathy Yoon, Managing Director BNYM
New York City, New York
"Enja is a life savior. For over a year, week after week my back was in spasms and my knee was in lock down. I was losing work and unable to function. I tried acupuncture, physical therapy, yoga, everything was causing more inflammation and more pain. BUT for the past year, Enja has been able to systematically strengthen my body without causing it to shut down. She has the amazing ability to see what is happening in my body and to make adjustments that counter old habits and strengthen the subtle muscles my body needs for support. I am feeling stronger. Enja a great teacher and coach. She is a delight to work with, always kind and always hard working."
Cecilia Dintino, Clinical Psychologist
New York City, New York
"My wife and I have been taking duets with Enja for the past several years on our monthly trips to New York City. As a Teacher of Teachers, Enja pays particular attention to our form, and has an uncanny ability to focus on the two of us at the same time. She tailors her instruction to our needs and coaches us in a way that we both can relate to. Enja challenges us to (but never beyond) our limits."
Daniel M. Snow, Attorney
Portland, Maine
"Three years ago I started working with Enja and she has become my Pilates instructor and fitness mentor. Her in-depth understanding of the human body and intense dedication to the Classical Pilates system has helped me to become a stronger and happier person. Working with Enja doesn't just strengthen my body, the joy she brings to the workout helps me find passion in my day - especially at 7am! Enja's skill in teaching has encouraged me through a wide-range of physical states; from nursing me through an injury to helping me perfect my headstands and high bridges. It is a gift to have such a wonderful teacher, just writing this makes me excited for our next workout!"
Eva Lucks, Executive Project Director & Pilates Teacher
New York City, New York
"As a chiropractor, I look to refer my patients and those with specific needs to an instructor that has the knowledge, the intuition and also the personality that will allow those with chronic weaknesses the best chance for success. In Enja Schenck, you have a Master Instructor that has all of those characteristics and more. I have personally worked out with Enja and it always was challenging, fun and produced great results!"
Howard Sichel, D.O.
New York City, New York
"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Enja. I have been training with her regularly for about 5 years. I always look forward to seeing her for my Semi-Private Session and I inevitably feel better afterward.
Regardless of how many people are in our session, these are remarkable constants: I've never once NOT been physically challenged, AND, for every session. she plans a different workout specifically tailored to my needs and fitness level. I provide her with the added challenge of regularly showing up late, and she manages to make our "condensed" sessions effective, tough, and fun. Always.
Enja has an infectious enthusiasm and an utterly unique combination of patience, pleasantly forceful encouragement and wit. And, she's a caring, compassionate and warm individual as well. She makes you want to do your best, she knows what your best can be, and she gets your best out of you. If I were ever to leave NYC, I can say Pilates with Enja would be one of the truly irreplaceable experiences I'd miss the most."

"Enja is an amazing teacher. I have been doing Pilates for 24 years. My teacher, Bob Liekens began traveling a year ago and a friend encouraged me to take class from Enja.
She is a gifted and challenging teacher with a comprehensive knowledge of anatomy and that each body is uniquely different. Each class is tailored to individual needs , with ever deepening and strenghtening integration of classical pilates exercises woven into a session that pushes my best self, physically and intellectually. Plus, lots of fun."
Margaret Klugman, M.D.
New York City, New York"I have been a devoted student of Enja for the last five years, due to the combination of passion, commitment and care that she brings to every session. Her consistent ability to identify my specific needs while keeping me focused and motivated has advanced my practice and personal commitment to classical Pilates. Working with Enja has transformed both my physical body and my increasing awareness to it…I recommend her enthusiastically."
Michael Lahm, Founder, Reservoir Spa Consulting
New York City, New York
"I have worked with very senior trainers for over 15 years and Enja's knowledge of Pilates and body mechanics is quite superior. While others will correct you, Enja will tell you why doing it a certain way works for your particular body issues. I have found that my Pilates practice has improved significantly since working with her. She is a superior trainer."
