I have to wonder why people feel the need for all this equipment when walking/cycling and military style calisthenics ,or Tai chi, will do all you need ,and more, to keep a person in good shape.
My personal method is Tai chi and cycling either with bikes,trikes or stationary to stay as healthy as I can. Simple ,direct ,inexpensive.
What ever motivates you. I like the variety.
Treadmill, because I used to run, and even though my Dr. told me I had to replace my knees a few years ago, I'm now 80% better than they were, and I can get away with running on the treadmill as the deck absorbs impact.
Recumbent because when I hurt my back, it was the ONLY exercise I could do.
Spin Bike (just purchased), because last spring, I realized the other two did nothing to keep me in cycling shape.
Total Gym, because Chuck Norris told me to
(my wife actually purchased this).
And home instead of local Gym, because I can just go do it whenever I want! I work out pretty much EVERY day.
