I checked the US Weightlifting Federation web-page
(http://www.msbn.tv/usavision/).  It appears to be an all-metric sport.
Having also looked at a bit of weight-lifitng equipment for my son, I
noticed that anything that was of reputable quality was in metric units
while equipment that looked of dubious quality was in imperial units.

I saw some screenshots of Wii Fit in an online magazine (US-based) and it
seems like everything was in Imperial.  Maybe there is a switch that permits
changing measuring systems.  Wii Sports is also Imperial through-and-through
when it comes to golf and baseball, and there is no option to switch.

For what it's worth, I notice that random bits and pieces of exercise
equipment are made in hard metric dimensions, and some use metric
exclusively (rowing machines).
