I'd like to set up a small fitness corner in my home. I don't have that much space to work with, so I'm thinking one machine (bike, treadmill, or elliptical, but has to be relatively compact) and maybe a rack with weights or resistance bands. Anyone have recommendations? Would also like this all to be for under 1000 total if possible.

Peloton bike is super compact but expensive. I didn’t get it but I know ppl who have it that love it.

I have an elliptical and treadmill, I personally rarely use it, and prefer workout dvds with weights. I feel like the machines give you repetitive movements while a dvd or routine will give variety. My dh and kids like the machines.
I’d prefer keeping the space empty, and just invest in a good mat/rubber floor, weights and other small stuff.

Most home treadmills can fold up so footprint is small when not in use. I like treadmill because it enables me to walk and make phone calls or even use a laptop when it's icky outside, I get my steps in one way or another. You don't even need weights because you can use your body weight to create resistance (I'm not saying not to get them, I'm just saying you can do without and use the $$ for a good treadmill which are not cheap). Also some kind of chinup bar is useful.

I have a treadmill and an A frame with weights, fan, mat and resistance bands tucked into a basement corner.
