About us

Faultline Barbell is built by and for the powerlifting community, with lifters in mind from start to finish.

Ash and Patrick have both been powerlifting for 5+ years, having competed with the New Zealand Powerlifting Federation (NZPF) at both the local, National and International levels. In 2024, Patrick represented Aotearoa, New Zealand at the IPF Commonwealth Powerlifting Championships, taking out the bronze medal position and breaking the NZ deadlift record.

Ash has been the President of the lower north island branch of the NZPF since 2024, organising and directing powerlifting events at the local level from Wellington - Hawkes Bay. She is actively involved at the governance level of the NZPF, supporting the growth of powerlifting across Aotearoa New Zealand.

We’re excited to welcome you to Faultline Barbell, as Wellington powerlifting’s new home!
