Abstract: A handle for an exercise device, comprising a central, longitudinal rod and two two-branch forks provided to extend generally in axially opposite directions in a common plane at the opposite ends of the rod. The branches of each fork are transverselly interconnected intermediate their longitudinal extent, by a rod. The branches of the two forks and the two transverse rods form handles which are suitable for providing the different movements of the exercise device to which the handle, in use, is connected. The central rod also forms gripping handles for the different movements. In normal intended use, the rod is fixed to an exercise device by means of a sleeve positioned in the middle of the central rod, the central rod being rotatable within the sleeve around the longitudinal axis of the middle of the central rod.
