Regular exercise and physical activity promotes strong muscles and bones. It improves respiratory , cardiovascular health, and overall health. Keeping fit and staying active can also help one maintain a healthy weight , reduce one's risk for type 2 diabetes , health disease and reduce one's risk for some cancers !


The above, was the driving force behind the conceptualization and construction of Actiz Fitness Center , Owerri , a one -shop private owned Fitness Center; where professionals , the business class, political leaders , stakeholders , as well as tourists who visit Owerri, the Imo State capital , stop over during the weekend to keep fit.


Actiz Fitness Centre is a classy health fitness brand situated at the highbrow Concord Avenue, New Owerri, with best fitness facilites , providing a professional artificial green soccer filed - just like what one can see in Champions or Premier league ; a gym house with well trained coach , basketball court , indoor tennis , exotic bar for relaxation and viewing centre.

At Actiz Fitness Centre, novelty matches are also organised for professionals, regular individual clubs and private organisations as Nigerian celebrities and Footballers have been spotted at the facility .


An accomplished entrepreneur , Nze Franklin Iwunze , Nkwerre born businessman and politician , is a shinning example of Imo success story in the private sector whose wealth of experience , international exposure, love for humanity and personal drive for a vibrant Imo economy bequeathed to the state the best private owned Sports Centre while creating jobs for over 20 Imo youths.


Speaking with the Publisher of 4thestatereporters, Njoku Macdonald Obinna, Nze Franklin Iwunze popularly known by his Chieftaince title of Ogbuagu Nkwerre, posited that : `` Actiz Fitness Centre was primarily built to support the state government in the area of getting the youths and other stakeholders to always keep fit , as it promotes healthy living and reduces crime in the society since the youths constitute majority in the population index of the state .



With the growing rate and milestone recorded thus far at the Fitness Centre, an elated Chairman of Actiz Group and CCCean, Nze Franklin Iwunze, is of the strongest opinion that since sports reduces crime and productively engages the youths there is also a need for government partnership and support as plans are underway to replicate same in the various LGAs across the state to truly make dividends of government presence felt at the grassroots .
