Body by Jake Bun & Thigh Rocker

Pros: Builds strength and muscle on the lower half of your body.
Cons: Takes up some space.

Osteoarthritis runs in my family. I have known for some time that building strong muscles can be one of the best preventive measures against developing osteoarthritis. Strong and lean muscle help support joints that can in turn prevent cartilage...

Pros: Great movement, really works the lower body
Cons: kinda cheap, doesn't really work the butt (till I make some changes to it ;)

Well after reading such good reviews on this product, I finally decided to buy one. It was between this and the bun and thigh roller(notice the difference in the names). The only place I could find the rocker was on ebay, for about 50 bucks, talk about a ...

Pros: easy to use
Cons: a little bulky to store

I ordered it off of the infomercial. It came standard delivery in a big box (to be assembled). Very easy to assemble - the instructions are clear, and it comes with the tools needed to tighten the bolts.

I put it in front of my TV, and use...

Pros: Easy to use.
Cons: Not so small

I bought this machine thinking that I would look like the women in the commercials. I paid $250 total and used it maybe a handful of times.

This is very possibly the most boring machine I have ever used. You sit in the little seat and rock...

Pros: Can be folded for easy storage under the bed or in the closet.
Cons: Sits kinda low to ground, could be problem for the elderly.

I have had one of these for a few years now and I love it... especially when I can't get to the gym, because of my kids..!!
If you stick to the program the program will work for you! The video and the fitness program is great to help you find your way with this machine and find what works for you best... it is true what they say "in just 3 minutes a day"... but i find myself using it 30 minutes a day ( or every other day)with all the variety of exercises available with this machine.

Pros: It works!
Cons: Can't find replacement weight bands, and if you do they are ridiculously expensive!

I have had my Bun & thigh rocker for more than 7 years. It really does WORK. The only problem I have is buying the replacement weight bands. They get brittle and snap. They are very hard to find to replace them. Go on Body by Jake web sight and see for yourself. I think now that there is a new model of the bun & thigh machine out, the manufacture should offer a trade in value if new model is purchase. Esp. if improvements are made such as pistons now instead of rubber bands. ADVICE: Don't buy used bands, chances are with age or use, they are wearing out and will not last long.
I also have the BBJ Ab scizzor which I also like very much.
Good products, but bad availability to parts.

Pros: GREAT WORKOUT, takes very little space, easy and quick to put together.
Cons: Weight limit even with 4 power bands is 200lbs. I could leg press 290 normally

Ok, it is now September, I checked my stats. I was wearing a size 18 in March when I started using the BTR and I wear a size 12. I can almost fit into a size 10. I love this machine, I recommend it totally to people interested in a good workout for your lower body and a limited workout for your upper body. I lost a total of 9 inches off my hips and 8 inches off my waist with the aid of this machine and a good diet regiment. BUY IT!!! USE IT !!! and you will love it!!!

Pros: Very durable. Very effective. Not expensive. Comfortable. No strain on your back.
Cons: Requires some space.

Easy to assemble. Have only used the machine a few times and my legs and butt look and feel better. I like to work one leg at a time on the machine. Gives a very intense workout.
