New Zealand Wheelchair Bodybuilding Federation

The New Zealand Wheelchair Bodybuilding Federation – NZWBBF – is a not-for-profit organisation set up to provide exercise guidance, coaching, and sporting opportunities for people with physical disabilities. Wheelchair bodybuilding is a growing sport internationally and the NZWBBF is the first New Zealand-based organisation to encourage Kiwis with disabilities to become part of this exciting and vibrant community of bodybuilding athletes.

Through the provision of online bodybuilding events – in which competitors’ photos are judged and winners are determined via a panel of qualified bodybuilding judges – the NZWBBF has established an impressive roster of athletes and encourages all New Zealanders with disabilities – wheelchair users and those eligible to compete in its standing category – to pursue healthy living and regular gym training with a view to becoming competitive bodybuilders.

Bodybuilding – both sport and lifestyle – is one of the single most effective ways to develop physical strength, endurance, cardiovascular fitness, and confidence. With the training and balanced nutrition, opportunities to compete, and the strong support network of like-minded individuals that comprise the bodybuilding lifestyle, a solid foundation for success can be achieved. Best of all, bodybuilding is an activity that almost anyone can take part in – whatever the disability, if you can lift weights, you can bodybuild. For those new to bodybuilding, the NZWBBF provides all the information needed to succeed in this rewarding and challenging sport. Please support the NZWBBF so many more Kiwis living with disabilities can experience the thrill of competition and the health benefits to be derived from building a stronger physique.
