Bun and Thigh Rocker Body by Jake

This is the Body by Jake equipment that uses special band straps as resistance (not to be confused with Bun and thigh Roller).

Question: Do you still use yours? did you have to replace any parts, like the bands?

I have a similar one but mine is Thane brand. I got it used from a friend. I don't know how long she had it how much she used it, but it's been mine for several years now. And no, I haven't used it very much. The bands still look okay on it, though, I think.

I found one at Goodwill two years ago for around $20-$25. I did buy replacement bands, as one of the 25 lb. bands eventually had a slight tear. However, note that even if a band says "25 lbs." of resistance, they can vary significantly! The Soloflex weight straps will also fit this model, at least on mine. I purchased some replacement bands I found on Walmart.com as well as eBay.

Although I love using it, I don't use it as frequently as I'd like to. The last time I used it regularly was when I did a Body Beast rotation back in late 2021. When I first got it I made a workout using the Bun & Thigh Rocker plus the BootySprout and did it about once a week (along with other things). It gave me great results in my lower body (glutes especially)!
