We are a whānau, family-friendly sports club with our members starting from 7 years old right up to 65 years old and everything else in between. Weightlifting aka Olympic Weightlifting which is two lifts the snatch and clean and jerk, is an individual-focused sport. But because our club places a huge emphasis on everyone contributing to the growth and strength of each other, we deliver our programs in a team training environment.
Our club is suitable for beginners looking to improve their well-being, power, and strength and form healthier habits, right through to athletes who choose to compete in local, regional, and national competitions. We promote being a drug-free sport and are affiliated with Weightlifting New Zealand.

HCC Barbell Club and the trust rely on volunteers, fundraising, club competition fees, and funding grants to help support the operation of their programs.
