A grip (22) for an exercise dumbbell (12) or exercise barbell includes a first layer (24) that contacts the dumbbell (12) or barbell. The grip (22) includes a second layer (26) disposed about the first layer (24). The second layer (26) is adapted for contact with the user when the user grips the second layer (26). A method for making an exercise apparatus (10) includes the steps of taping a tapered end (32) of a grip (22) to a barbell or dumbbell (12). The inner surface (28) has teeth (30).
