  • Patent number: 10668319
    Abstract: A lightweight and portable fitness apparatus comprises a pair of wheel assemblies connected by a connecting bar. The apparatus may be used to perform Pilates-style exercises by a variety of activities such as lifting or rolling the apparatus. The connection bar of the apparatus is offset from a center of each wheel assembly and rotatable from an outer portion of each wheel assembly. The offset position allows the connection bar and wheel assemblies to act as a stable rolling platform, similar to a platform of a Pilates reformer, but as the lightweight and portable apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9844696
    Abstract: A portable exercise device allowing a user to perform Pilates type exercises without using traditional, cumbersome equipment. The device uses a pair of wheel assemblies respectively attached to opposing ends of a central shaft. A shaft height can be adjusted from a center of each wheel to a lower point closer to a ground surface. Adjustable cam lockable hand/foot plates are attached to the shaft allowing the user to attach his or her feet to the shaft. Each hand/foot plate includes a rotational plate that allows the hand/foot plate to be positioned at various angles in relation to the shaft. Resistance bands are attached on one side to the shaft and on the opposite side to a resistance source. The resistance source can be the user's own hands or feet, or a retaining strap attached to a lower portion of a door or wall.
