Claim 19:
20. A roller assembly comprising:
a roller body extending between first and second ends, the roller body having a first cylindrical roller portion proximate the first end and a second cylindrical roller portion proximate the second end, a first end opening at the first end, a second end opening at the second end, a first internal cavity extending into the first cylindrical roller portion from the first end opening to a first wall surface proximate a center of the roller body, the first internal cavity configured to receive a first weight assembly including one or more first weights, and a second internal cavity extending into the second cylindrical roller portion from the second end opening to a second wall surface proximate the center of the roller body, the second internal cavity configured to receive a second weight assembly including one or more second weights;
a first weight holder received within the first internal cavity and configured for holding the first weight assembly within the first internal cavity, the first weight holder comprising:
a first shaft having a proximal end engaged with the first wall surface and a distal end opposite the proximal end, the first shaft being configured to engage the first weight assembly by extending through holes in the one or more first weights; and
a first fixing member engaged with the first shaft and positionable in a first plurality of different positions along a length of the first shaft, wherein the first fixing member is configured to engage a proximal end of the first weight assembly, wherein the first shaft has a first threaded portion, and the first fixing member is threadably engaged with the first threaded portion of the first shaft and is positionable in the first plurality of different positions by rotation to move the first fixing member along the first shaft;

a second weight holder received within the second internal cavity and configured for holding the second weight assembly within the second internal cavity, the second weight holder comprising:
a second shaft having a proximal end engaged with the second wall surface and a distal end opposite the proximal end, the second shaft being configured to engage the second weight assembly by extending through holes in the one or more second weights; and
a second fixing member engaged with the second shaft and positionable in a second plurality of different positions along a length of the second shaft, wherein the second fixing member is configured to engage a proximal end of the second weight assembly, wherein the second shaft has a second threaded portion, and the second fixing member is threadably engaged with the second threaded portion of the second shaft and is positionable in the second plurality of different positions by rotation to move the second fixing member along the second shaft;

a first end cap received in the first internal cavity to at least partially cover the first end opening and engaging the distal end of the first shaft, such that the first end cap is configured to retain the first weight holder and the first weight assembly within the first internal cavity, and wherein the first end cap is further configured to engage a distal end of the first weight assembly, such that the first end cap and the first fixing member are configured to limit movement of the first weight assembly along the length of the first shaft;
a first retaining member engaged with the roller body and the first end cap to releasably retain the first end cap in the first internal cavity;
a second end cap received in the second internal cavity to at least partially cover the second end opening and engaging the distal end of the second shaft, such that the second end cap is configured to retain the second weight holder and the second weight assembly within the second internal cavity, and wherein the second end cap is further configured to engage a distal end of the second weight assembly, such that the second end cap and the second fixing member are configured to limit movement of the second weight assembly along the length of the second shaft; and
a second retaining member engaged with the roller body and the second end cap to releasably retain the second end cap in the second internal cavity.
