What each type of cardio machine costs
| Ski ergs | £909 – £1,187 | Upper-body dominant. Smallest footprint of any full-size cardio machine. |
| Rowers | £1,095 – £2,394 | Full-body, low impact. The most complete single cardio purchase. |
| Air bikes | £1,160 – £2,394 | Resistance rises with effort. Brutal for intervals, gentle on joints. |
| Indoor cycles | £1,060 – £3,198 | Seated cycling. Quietest option and the easiest on a downstairs neighbour. |
| Cross trainers | Price on request | Zero-impact full body. The standard choice where joints are the limit. |
| Treadmills | £4,320 – £4,470 | Self-powered curved and HIIT decks. Motorised treadmills are quote-only. |
| Stair climbers | £3,495 – £9,995 | Climbing works the glutes, quads and calves with no landing impact. |

Which cardio machine should you buy?
- You have room for exactly one machine. Buy a rower. It trains legs, back, arms and lungs in one movement, stores upright, and a Concept2 RowERG from £1,095 is the most-used piece of cardio equipment in most home gyms for that reason.
- You live in a flat or train above someone. An indoor cycle or a ski erg. Neither has an impact phase and neither has a motor. A treadmill is the worst choice in this situation regardless of budget.
- Your knees, hips or back are the limiting factor. Cross trainer, ski erg or air bike — all three keep both feet in contact and remove the landing impact entirely.
- You train for conditioning and intervals. An air bike. Resistance is generated by the fan, so it rises with your effort and there is no top setting to outgrow.
- You want a hard lower-body workout in a short session. A stepmill. Climbing loads the largest muscles in the body against gravity, which is why stepmills sit at the top of the price range and why they are standard in commercial cardio floors.
- You are training for cycling performance specifically. A Wattbike AtomX — £3,198 — measures left/right balance and pedal-stroke shape, which a standard indoor cycle does not.
- You want running in a small space without a motor. A curved treadmill. It is self-powered, so it needs no plug and cannot run faster than you do.
