Our Story
Savuti Health and Fitness is a proudly independent gym and wellness club located at Delacombe Town Centre. Originally launched in 2019 as part of the QuickFit Health Clubs franchise, the club transitioned to full independence in January 2025, rebranding as Savuti Health and Fitness.
Founded by Nick Prince—formerly co-owner of QuickFit Delacombe—and now co-directed by Kane Risk, the club has undergone a major transformation. Significant investment has expanded our offerings to include Reformer Pilates, a dedicated recovery suite, and state-of-the-art functional and weight training facilities. These enhancements reflect our commitment to delivering a comprehensive, one-stop destination for health, wellness, and performance.
Why ‘Savuti’
The name Savuti was chosen by founder Nick Prince, inspired by a personal journey to the Savuti region of northern Botswana in 1996. That visit followed the profound impact of the iconic wildlife documentary Eternal Enemies by Derek and Beverly Joubert, which captured the untamed beauty and dramatic predator dynamics of the Savuti landscape.
Known for its fierce wilderness, powerful animal encounters, and the mysterious flow of its channels, Savuti is often interpreted as “land of mystery” or “place of transformation.” It symbolises resilience, unpredictability, and the raw beauty of nature—qualities that echo our belief in the transformative power of health and fitness.
Just like the ever-shifting landscape of Savuti, every fitness journey is unique—marked by challenge, renewal, and growth.
Our Philosophy: Fitness with Purpose
Founder Nick Prince brings a strong foundation in Public Health and Nursing and was awarded the prestigious Florence Nightingale Medal in 2023 for his global humanitarian work. At Savuti, we believe that well-managed fitness clubs play a vital role in advancing public health.
We’re passionate about:
Reducing health risks through movement and prevention
Enhancing mobility, independence, and quality of life
Improving physical and mental wellbeing
Building stronger, more connected communities
We strive to create an environment where people of all backgrounds and abilities feel welcome, supported, and empowered to take control of their health.
Performance for Sport and for Life
Savuti Health and Fitness supports both personal health goals and athletic excellence. Whether you're training solo, preparing for sport, or recovering from injury, we provide the tools and expertise to help you thrive.
We work with:
Local sporting teams and individual athletes on off-season and in-season training
Beginners embarking on a fitness journey with the intention to build lasting habits
Everyday members aiming to improve their healthspan, strength, and vitality
At Savuti, it’s not about hype, flashy perks, or short bursts of motivation—it’s about showing up, forming habits, and building behaviours that support long-term physical and mental resilience. We’re here for those who value consistency over image, discipline over trends, and self-leadership over ego.
We are inclusive by design, yet attract a community of like-minded individuals who respect the process, care about their health, and contribute positively to the shared space. It’s not about athletic ability—it’s about having the mindset to grow, adapt, and stay the course.
