You could ask in the pedal power section although the typical recommendation will be a road bike + turbo trainer + zwift subscription.

I've done exercise bikes before and they are dull. Not too bad in front of the TV but dull all the same.

The Zwift option is a lot cheaper than peloton and the competitive element is meant to make it much more bearable.

They also have training options which will help show your improvement over time.

Be careful when choosing an exercise bike if you're at all on the short side. My wife is only 5 foot and we made the mistake of assuming 1 size fits all. We found several that had a minimum height of 5foot 7inch iirc.

I have a Reebok GB40s, bought it of marketplace a few weeks ago. £200, almost new condition.

It is more or less silent, reasonably easy to move, has plenty of adjustment on the saddle/peddles and has a few programable routines that you can set. If you can, give it a couple of weeks and since gyms are now open Marketplace and/or eBay will be flooded with equipment, only reason I got it was becuase it was needed quickly for some rehab otherwise I would have tried saving myself a few quid by waiting.
