HCC Barbell Club is a family-friendly sports club, that welcomes members of all ages. While Olympic-style weightlifting, which includes snatch and clean & jerk, is an individual sport, our club strongly emphasizes collective growth and strength. We create a supportive, team-oriented environment where everyone contributes to each other's progress.
Our programs cater to all levels, from beginners seeking to improve well-being, power, and strength, to experienced athletes aiming to compete in local, regional, and national competitions. We promote a drug-free sport and are proudly affiliated with Weightlifting New Zealand.
HCC Barbell Club operates under the HCC Barbell Club Trust, which is dedicated to improving the holistic well-being of communities that may not traditionally engage in physical activity. We achieve this through promotion, education, training, and active participation in weightlifting.
Our club thrives on the support of volunteers, fundraising, competition fees, and grant funding to help sustain our programs.
HCC Barbell Club works closely with HCC (Hale Compound Conditioning), with the co-founders of HCC supporting the Trust Board in co-designing, developing, and implementing programs that prioritize the hauora (well-being) of our participants in weightlifting, workshops, and events.
