I have a choice to either buy a stationary bike or a treadmill that I want to use for the next 6-7 years. Which one should I get?
Concept2 Rower or SkiErg. It will last for decades, and its way more efficient at developing fitness than either the treadmill or the bike.

You should buy whatever you will use the most for fitness. It doesn’t matter if your treadmill is bifl quality if it’s just a clothes hanger. That said, you need to spend $$$ for a treadmill that lasts. If you’re willing to invest that great, but it’s a little cheaper to get a stationary bike that will last given they don’t need to support your body weight. Personally for my home gym I like my rowing machine on days I’m not running. It’s a full body workout, the concept2 is a bifl machine for “reasonable” for a fitness machine, and I enjoy it. Again though, first priority should be something that you’ll use or it’s a waste of money regardless of how quality it is, unless you care that someone get a second hand bifl purchase.
