Transportation Cost: Coming from the Town center, you will spend about ₦600 for a round trip via Keke or Bike.
The "Plug" Insider Info:
At Xtreem, you don't need to worry about extra "Instructor Fees." One of the biggest advantages here is the floor culture, you can ask any of the coaches on duty to guide you on your training sets or correct your form for free. It is a high-intensity environment where everyone is there to work.
Located within the Rixos Hotel, this gym is for those who prefer a quieter environment, air conditioning, and a "Soft Life" atmosphere. It is a premium space that feels more like a wellness retreat than a traditional weight room.

The "Plug" Insider Info:
This is a "Soft Life" gym. It is rarely crowded, making it great for business professionals, introverts, or anyone who wants to focus without distractions. You are paying for the privacy, the cooling, and the prestige. While personal trainers are available, they usually come with an additional premium fee.

You want a place where the music is loud, the energy is infectious, and you want free coaching guidance. It is the best value for money in Umuahia right now for serious bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts.

You want to avoid the crowd, enjoy the AC, and maybe have a drink or a swim after your workout. It’s perfect for those who value privacy and comfort over a high-energy "grind" atmosphere.
