Siôn-lee’s mission: to provide welcoming spaces where individuals of all ages and fitness levels could embrace a passion for fitness, dance, and wellness. From the outset,  sights on setting new standards in the fitness industry, nurturing a tightly knit fitness community that supports, motivates, and uplifts one another. Forging  partnerships, collaborate with local organizations, and drive initiatives that extend our impact beyond our classes. In conclusion, the history and aspirations are intricately woven, forming a tapestry of growth, accomplishment, and purpose. With each chapter, we continue to evolve, driven by our unwavering commitment to excellence and our enduring dedication to the well-being of our members. As we move forward, we remain committed to pushing boundaries, fostering unity, and making a lasting positive impact on lives and our community. 

From the outset SAVAGE has supported the local community as much as possible, starting with free Zumba® kids classes  throughout the summer holidays, where we don’t just give the participants a class, but also play games, teach about healthy eating and planting and growing their own vegetables, and because they are from an area described as deprived we also feed them too. All of which we supply free. All this plus volunteering for fundraisers and charity events, which has continued.

Even raising enough money for a local cause, refurbishing the local park and being involved in the design and execution of its completion, ensuring that it was disabled friendly, at a cost of £44,000.

​

From the outset the award nominations started and have continued with the following:

• 2018 Finalist the Swansea Life Awards for Best Gym, Health and Spa

• 2018 National Fitness Awards Finalist Outstanding achievement Award

• 2019 National Fitness Awards Finalist Outstanding achievement Award

• 2021 Welsh fitness Awards Group fitness class of the year Finalist

• 2022 Outstanding achievement and Group exercise gym of the year Finalist National Fitness Awards

• 2023 Winner of Trainee of the year Welsh fitness Awards

• 2023 Winner Outstanding Achievement Award National fitness Awards 

• 2023 Winner Community Involvement Award National Fitness Awards 

• 2025 3rd Place Instructor of the year. Wales. Heart & Soul Awards 

These accolades have pushed the business forward and help to build a reputation as a Zumba® fitness presenter and deliver masterclasses across the country, plus continue with the important work within the local community and good causes in locations across the country. 

After a few years of being an independent Zumba® fitness instructor and presenter, running not only independent classes and Masterclasses around the country, but also working within local authority gyms. The decision was made to create the business to provide an umbrella company from which to give a consistent marketing brand, central communication outlet, provide a platform for expansion and also to develop the instructors being mentored, giving additional opportunities to run their own classes under the same brand. 

It was impossible for Siôn-lee to be available for all the causes, events and classes he was being asked to do. So as a solution to this he began to develop the idea of a company that would allow him to mentor new instructors to teach in his style and in the way he teaches. Emphasising on customer interaction, a more intense delivery and performance level than the usual Zumba® fitness class.

SAVAGE DanZfit was planned to be launched before the covid outbreak, but was delayed until after, as it didn’t make business sense to launch until we were released from lockdown and launched in September 2021. 

In the aftermath of social distancing and isolation, Siôn-lee wanted SAVAGE DanZfit to become a catalyst for rebuilding connections and nurturing a sense of community. 

His classes offer a safe and inclusive space where participants can come together, forming new friendships and bonds that provide much-needed support and companionship. The power of human interaction and shared experiences helps combat feelings of loneliness, fostering a nurturing environment where individuals can lean on each other through their shared love for dance and fitness. 

SAVAGE runs community Zumba® classes six days a week in various centres around the Swansea area, along with Strong Nation, Plate by Zumba® plus Zumba Kids sessions in schools every week. 

We have also support local not-for-profit organisations like BAME (mental Health Support) who focus on education and advocacy to inspire a mentally healthy BAME community by providing support appropriate to their mental health and wellbeing - who believe that mental health and physical health should be valued equally, and Faith in families. 

Who’s Family Centres offer a range of services from childcare to lunch clubs, inspiring those they serve, and believe in them, to help them succeed. Each setting based in deprived areas of Swansea, aims to provide help and support to families within the community. S

Sion-lee is also asked to run fitness masterclasses around the country and guest at presenter masterclasses.

SAVAGE also runs regular POPWORLD Zumba party nights where we teach twenty minute sessions every hour from eight pm until the last session at 12am. These sessions are great fun and can get quite out of hand by the end, but they are great for awareness and new customer gathering. They also work really well as a night out for the existing class participants who love a good night out. ​​​​​​​​​​

The   mission   has   been  to  create  a  supportive  and  inclusive  fitness

environment for individuals  of all  ages  and  fitness  levels in Swansea

and its surrounding communities. We take pride in offering world-class

Zumba fitness classes that cater  to our  diverse  clientele   and   believe

in the power of  fitness to  transform  lives  positively.  SAVAGE  actively

the door of every class at every location. 

We  have  led  the  Swansea  and  Cardiff   PRIDE  events  by   providing  a

warmup    before   the   parades,   dancing  the  parade    route  and  then

providing  a  Series  of   Zumba® fitness   classes  at  periods   throughout

the day at the events, together with street  events for  Swansea council

like the Swansea food festivals and Christmas Parades.

SAVAGE has played, and continues to play a key role in contributing to the growth of the fitness industry in Swansea. Having partnered with local schools community organizations, and businesses to promote fitness and wellness initiatives. We regularly organize fitness workshops, community events, and health campaigns to inspire more people to embrace a healthy lifestyle.

From the start Siôn-lee has made a commitment to tackling childhood obesity, as it has emerged as a global health concern, casting a long shadow on the well-being of our younger generation. In an era dominated by technology and sedentary lifestyles, the importance of promoting physical activity and healthy habits has never been more critical. At SAVAGE, we firmly believe that the Zumba Kids fitness program can and does play a transformative role in addressing childhood obesity and nurturing a generation of healthy, confident, and active individuals. Through dance, children develop strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance, all while honing their coordination and motor skills. More importantly, dance fitness elevates children's self-esteem and body confidence, nurturing a positive body image that will serve as a shield against the negative influences of society. We aim to equip children and young adults with the tools and knowledge they need to make healthy choices throughout their lives, and serve as a foundation for developing positive habits, from making nutritious food choices to embracing an active lifestyle, thus empowering children to take control of their health and well-being.

As advocates for the health and happiness of the next generation, we call upon communities, parents, educators, and policymakers to recognize the transformative potential of our classes in tackling childhood obesity. By embracing our Zumba Kids program as a powerful tool for nurturing physical and emotional well-being, SAVAGE can pave the way for a healthier, more vibrant future for our children.
