Don't want to break the bank, but I want to spend enough $$$ that I feel guilty enough to use it regularly.

I'll be a contrarian, but only so much as to offer a different option.

I think Peloton is probably your best option. But if you have a bike already, a Wahoo Kickr Core is decent value. Pair it with Zwift, and it can be pretty fun.

You can get a Kickr Core for about a quarter of the cost of a Peloton bike, and a Zwift subscription is cheap. Or Rouvy (a different cycling app that interacts with the Core) if you want something more realistic visually. Both will talk to the core and change resistance based on the virtual geography you're simulating riding on. And both have long (20+ mile) rides you can do, which I don't think Peloton does-IIRC most of their stuff is 30-60 minutes, and they're not mileage based.

And you have a bike to ride when the weather's nice.

Given that they're two completely different tools for different types of workouts,

the answer here is obviously both.

I think they bought Beachbody, so those are all the classes they have loaded, but they have a ton. Plus you can just do rides through scenic areas if you don't want to do the classes.

Allows the ability to say how health conscious you are without the proof (look at you…)

Identifies the amount of money you are willing to spend to prove this worthless endeavor is at least worth ATL’s head nod.

Convinces your internet friends here in this circle jerk how serious you are to staying alive long enough to see your country run by people that don’t look like you, don’t speak your language and most importantly don’t give a fuck about you and your country’s constitution.
