Injoy Cloppenburg in Germany shows 4.2 from 64 reviews, and its four written reviews, spanning 2016 to 2026, reveal a genuine tension between a detailed, serious complaint about recent maintenance decline and more recent reviews describing solid, attentive coaching.
A Serious, Detailed Complaint About Facility Deterioration
Shadow's review, from October 2025, is the most severe and specific here: "Quality has declined significantly lately! It's getting increasingly gloomy because broken lights aren't being replaced. The walls in the showers haven't been cleaned in years, they're absolutely slippery and disgusting. The only shower in the sauna area has been broken for weeks. Damaged cushions are simply thrown away, but no new ones are purchased. The restrooms usually reek of urine. Overall, the studio now looks run-down and very poorly maintained. You'll never win new customers this way, exorbitantly expensive contracts, but service is practically nonexistent. It's a shame, it used to be really nice." I'd flag this in full detail rather than summarize it away, since it's an itemized list of specific, verifiable maintenance failures, unreplaced lights, uncleaned slippery shower walls, a broken sauna shower, missing cushions, rather than a vague dissatisfaction, and it explicitly frames this as a decline from a previously better state.
A Detailed, More Positive Account of Coaching Responsiveness (translated from German)
Alonia's review, from February 2026, just months after Shadow's complaint, offers a notably different focus: "Overall I am very satisfied. You are very well looked after, and upon request the training is adjusted at any time. I feel well advised professionally. The prices are somewhat expensive, but you get a large selection of equipment and good advice in return. I liked the courses, though some unfortunately book up very quickly." I'd note that this review doesn't address the specific maintenance issues Shadow raised, focusing instead on coaching quality, so I wouldn't treat it as contradicting Shadow's complaint so much as covering a different aspect of the experience entirely.
A Detailed Account of Staff Friendliness and Sauna Access (translated from German)
Jasmin's review, from January 2026, adds a relevant detail given Shadow's specific sauna complaint: "I've tried various studios, but have now been here for some time and am very satisfied! Everyone is super friendly and helpful, and there's also a sauna where you can relax after training." I'd flag that sauna mention directly, since Jasmin describes it as a working, relaxing amenity around the same period Shadow specifically described the sauna's only shower as broken for weeks, a detail worth confirming directly given the two accounts don't fully align.
An Older Account of Well-Maintained Equipment
Westley Collins's review, from October 2016, describes an entirely different era: a nice gym with a good choice of well looked-after machines, good classes, and good staff. I wouldn't weigh this too heavily against the more recent maintenance complaint, given the roughly nine-year gap between the two reviews.
What's Missing
The two most recent reviews, from January and February 2026, don't directly address the specific maintenance failures Shadow described in October 2025, so I'd confirm the current state of the showers, lighting, and sauna directly before joining, given the conflicting impressions.
Who It's Not For
Anyone with high expectations for shower and restroom cleanliness, given at least one detailed, recent, specific complaint about persistent maintenance neglect in those exact areas.
