The EQUALIZER was created by Marc Lebert, a full-time certified personal trainer with a black belt in Taekwondo. He instructs boxing and circuit classes and is a part owner of fuel fitness in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

Marc recognized the need for a simple, portable, yet multi-purpose and versatile, piece of fitness equipment. Since the first prototype was designed, the EQUALIZER has evolved from a piece of equipment designed solely to train core muscles to a unique total body strengthener. The product has been purchased and utilized by personal trainers, fitness clubs, studios, rehabilitation centres, technical hockey training facilities, marshal arts clubs and home gyms.

Each bar weighs 8 pounds and is constructed of sturdy steel.
