Abstract

A fitness apparatus and a method for assembly are disclosed. The fitness apparatus comprises a wheel assembly that includes a first circular side parallel to a second circular side, both bounded by a curved tread. Within the wheel assembly is an enclosable storage chamber. The fitness apparatus also includes an axis perpendicular to the first circular side and the second circular side, and when the fitness apparatus is in an abdominal exercise wheel configuration, at least a portion of the wheel assembly rotates around the axis. The fitness apparatus also includes a centerbore along the axis that supports a first removable handle and a second removable handle when the fitness apparatus is in the abdominal exercise wheel configuration.

Claims (39)

1. A wheel assembly comprising:

a rim;

a curved tread surface rotatably engaged around the rim;

a reinforced connection engaged with an interior surface of the rim, wherein the reinforced connection houses a set of handlebar connectors; and

wherein the wheel assembly has a substantially cylindrical shape with a first circular side separated from a second circular side by the rim.

2. The wheel assembly of claim 1 , wherein the set of handlebar connectors are vertical handlebar connectors oriented parallel to the first and second circular sides.

3. The wheel assembly of claim 1 , wherein the set of handlebar connectors are axial handlebar connectors oriented perpendicularly to the first and second circular sides.

4. The wheel assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the set of handlebar connectors further comprises at least one eyelet.

5. The wheel assembly of claim 2 , wherein the rim further comprises:

a concavity proximate to each of the set of vertical handlebar connectors.

6. The wheel assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:

a set of sockets recessed within the rim.

7. The wheel assembly of claim 6 , wherein the set of sockets further comprises:

one or more sidewalls;

a plurality of flexible fins extending perpendicularly from the one or more sidewalls.

8. The wheel assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:

a pair of removable covers sized to engage each of the first and second circular sides to form an enclosed cavity bounded by the pair of removable covers and an interior surface of the rim.

9. The wheel assembly of claim 8 , wherein the pair of removable covers has a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is softer than the second side.

10. A fitness apparatus comprising:

a pair of handles; and

a wheel assembly coupled with the pair of handles, wherein the wheel assembly further comprises:

a rim having a substantially cylindrical shape comprising a first circular side and a second circular side opposite and parallel to the first circular side;

a curved tread surface rotatably engaged around the rim; and

a reinforced connection engaged with an interior surface of the rim, wherein the reinforced connection houses a set of handlebar connectors.

11. The fitness apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the set of handlebar connectors are vertical handlebar connectors oriented parallel to the first and second circular sides.

12. The fitness apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the set of handlebar connectors are axial handlebar connectors oriented perpendicularly to the first and second circular sides.

13. The fitness apparatus of claim 10 , wherein each of the set of handlebar connectors further comprises at least one eyelet.

14. The fitness apparatus of claim 13 , further comprising:

a carabiner coupled to the eyelet; and

a resistance band attached to the carabiner.

15. The fitness apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the rim comprises a concavity proximate to each of the vertical handlebar connectors.

16. The fitness apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising:

a set of sockets recessed within the rim.

17. The fitness apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the set of sockets further comprises:

one or more sidewalls; and

a plurality of flexible fins extending perpendicularly from the one or more sidewalls.

18. The fitness apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising:

a pair of removable covers sized to engage each of the first and second circular sides to form an enclosed cavity bounded by the pair of removable covers and an interior surface of the rim.

19. The fitness apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the pair of removable covers has a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is softer than the second side.
