Abstract: A handle for a jump rope includes a bearing assembly proximate to a first end of a hand grip portion. A shaft passes through the bearing assembly and has a longitudinal axis. A fastener is secured to an end of the shaft for affixing a first end of the jump rope thereto. The fastener includes a first and second protrusion which extend away from the longitudinal axis of the shaft in substantially opposite directions. A first opening located in the first protrusion and a second opening in the second protrusion each receive and frictionally engage the first end of the jump rope. Magnets may be placed in the handle.
