About AWNZ

AWNZ is the governing body for All-Round Weightlifting in New Zealand. We are committed to fostering a community of athletes who embrace the challenge and tradition of the 'odd lifts.'
​Our mission is to maintain the standards of the sport, sanction events, and celebrate the achievements of our members.
​
All-Round Weightlifting preserves the tradition of physical culture and the founding of weightlifting in the tradition of great 'old time' weightlifters like Eugen Sandow, Louis Cyr, Arthur Saxon, Hermann Goerner, Ed Zercher, and more recent legends like Steve Angell, Steve Gardner, and many more. ​
