ARENA WEST WEIGHTLIFTING

Arena West Weightlifting (AWW) is a West Auckland affiliated Olympic weightlifting club led by coach Mel Cowie, a New Zealand Masters record holder, dedicated to developing athletes through technical coaching, evidence-based training, and long-term progression.

We believe success in weightlifting comes from more than hard work alone. Our coaching combines movement analysis, strength and conditioning principles, and skill development to help athletes build strength, improve performance, and understand the “why” behind their training.

Whether you’re new to the Olympic lifts, looking to refine your technique, or aiming to compete at a local, national, or international level, AWW provides structured coaching and a clear pathway to help you reach your goals.
