About
Hi, I’m Amanda, the founder of Vest Fit NZ.
I started this business because I couldn’t find the kind of weighted vest I actually wanted here in New Zealand—something well-made, not bulky, comfortable, and designed to move with me, not against me.
I’m a busy mum of two based in Christchurch. Staying strong and active has always been a big part of my life, even with everything else going on. I know how important it is to have gear that fits properly, feels good, and actually helps you get the most out of your workouts—whether that’s in the gym, at home, or out walking the hills.
Like so many others—especially other mums—I’ve always found it hard to carve out time for exercise. Between family, work, and all of life’s demands, getting a solid workout in can feel like a mission.
That’s why weighted vests made so much sense to me. I wanted a way to supercharge my workouts without needing more time, or a complete routine overhaul. Just throw it on and carry on—walking, training, even chasing the kids—and get better results from the same effort.
Thanks so much for being here. If you’ve got any questions or just want to say hi, I’d love to hear from you.
