This is a women-only fitness and wellness studio, small and personal, and the reviews split hard between people who love the atmosphere and people who clashed with the front desk over contracts. If you're a woman looking for a relaxed, non-intimidating place to train in Kempten, read both sides below before deciding.
The listing carries the tagline "Lady your figure specialist," and it's in Kempten in the Allgau region of Bavaria, Germany. It shows 4.1 from 27 ratings, a small sample, and the newest written review is September 2019.
The Atmosphere Is The Selling Point
A member in October 2018, five stars (translated from German): "The atmosphere is really pleasant and not at all a typical muscle-pumper studio. The boss and the owner are really cool, I walk in and get greeted in a friendly way by first name. I couldn't wish for better. Best recommendation for any woman who wants to do fitness and wellness in a relaxed environment with competent advice."
That's the whole pitch in one review. "Not at all a typical pumper studio" and "greeted by first name" describe exactly what a lot of women want and don't get from a big mixed gym: a small space where nobody's performing and the staff know you. If that's what you're after, this is aimed at you.
The Shower Complaint Comes With A Twist
A member in September 2019, two stars (translated from German): "The showers urgently need to be renewed. The smell of urine is barely bearable, and for me showering after training is a given, but here in the studio unfortunately not possible. The equipment, however, is SUPER, which is the reason I'm staying until my contract ends. Only one treadmill is, in my opinion, too few. The opening hours on Saturday and Sunday are very impractical for a mother."
Read what she does there. She gives two stars, describes showers she calls barely usable, and then praises the equipment in capital letters and says she's staying. That mix is what makes her credible: she's not venting, she's weighing. The hygiene problem is specific and checkable, the smell in the showers, and it's a health-adjacent complaint, so I'd put it first on your list to verify in person.
Two other concrete facts fall out of her review: there's only one treadmill, which matters if cardio is your thing, and the weekend hours don't work well for a mother's schedule. Those are the kind of details you only get from someone who actually trains there.
The Cancellation Dispute
A visitor in February 2019, one star (translated from German): "I'd give no star at all. The cancellation was handed in personally, but supposedly nothing is on file. In my opinion it was mishandled. The boss is really rude, doesn't let you get a word in, and hung up the phone in my face. Disrespectful and unprofessional."
Here's the mechanism, because "my cancellation vanished" is one of the most common gym disputes there is. When a cancellation is handed in on paper at the desk and later "isn't on file," it usually comes down to whether it was logged, and the member almost never has proof they submitted it. German gym contracts typically require written cancellation with a notice period, and the safe move is to send it by registered mail (Einschreiben) so you hold a receipt, rather than handing it over the counter. That doesn't excuse a rude phone call, and I won't judge who's right from one account. But it moves the lesson from "they cheated me" to "cancel in writing, with proof, on a small studio's terms."
The Review To Read Carefully
A visitor in October 2017, one star (translated from German): "Thank goodness I ultimately didn't sign up. I toured the studio and the operator showed me around, I even did a trial session. First, the rooms are really very small, and the operator uses very obvious marketing strategies to convince customers."
I'd handle this one with care. She toured and did a trial but never became a member, so this is a first-impression from the sales visit, not a verdict on training there. Her checkable claim, that the rooms are very small, lines up with this being a compact studio, so that part I'd trust. Her read on "marketing strategies" is a gut reaction to a sales pitch, which is fair to share but hard to weigh, since every studio sells during a tour.
There's also a five-star review from someone who admits upfront they're only reporting a friend's satisfaction, not their own, so I'll set that one aside as secondhand.
What The 4.1 From 27 Means
Twenty-seven ratings is a small sample, so the average is fragile: a couple of the one-star contract disputes are visibly pulling it down from what the atmosphere reviews alone would give. What's consistent across the positive and even the two-star reviews is that the equipment and the personal, women-only feel are genuine strengths. The friction is administrative, contracts and cancellations, and physical, the showers and small rooms.
Since it's a women-only studio, the sample is also self-selected: the people rating it chose a small, personal, female space on purpose, which tends to lift the warm reviews and sharpen the disappointed ones.
What's Missing
Current information; the record stops in 2019, and a small studio can change hands or fittings in far less time.
Prices, and any confirmation the showers were ever renovated.
Who It's Not For
Women who need weekend flexibility or more than one treadmill, per the two-star member.
Anyone who won't cancel a contract in writing with proof.
Who It Suits
Women who want a small, friendly, non-intimidating studio with good equipment and first-name service, and who'll read the contract carefully going in. Verify the shower situation on a visit first.

FAQ
Is this a women-only studio?
Yes. The tagline and reviews describe a women's fitness and wellness studio with a personal, non-"pumper" atmosphere.
What are the main complaints?
A 2019 member described showers with a urine smell needing renewal and only one treadmill; two visitors described contract and cancellation disputes with rude service.
How should I cancel to avoid disputes?
Cancel in writing with proof, ideally by registered mail, given the notice periods in German gym contracts and one member's "nothing on file" dispute.
Can I trust the 4.1 rating?
Only lightly. It rests on 27 ratings from 2019 and earlier, pulled in both directions by warm atmosphere reviews and angry contract disputes.
