Exercise machines for home

I used to run quite a bit, happily doing 10k a couple of times a week and was reasonably fit and healthy. Then I got Covid and now I have chest pains on occasion which make me nervous about going too far from home. So now I'm fat and unfit and fed up so my FABULOUS DH has built me a shed in the garden in which I can put up to two exercise machines. I am currently moving towards a spin bike and a cross-trainer. I'm not someone who is overly concerned about anything beyond burning calories and working up a sweat and I've always enjoyed those when I've gone to the gym. I need to find something that I can use daily, that doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart, that is comfy and is not synced up to some expensive subscription tat. I would really like to avoid spending more than £1000 in total BUT for the perfect machines I would consider it. Recommendations please!

As I assume you don't want to jump straight in with Pelaton!

I love my cross trainer!

I got it from local Facebook- I often see exercise bikes for sale. It might be a good starting point for you
