The spinning bike used for cathe's filming are heavy duty sport center equipment.
Most cathlete have purchased Sunny bike and they have been highly rated. Sunny brand
has been recently recommended on cathelete's page on facebook.

I bought a Sunny on Amazon. Reasonably priced, and, I love it!!! Gets lots of use! Heavy flywheel, and very well made! Definitely recommend!

I want to try spinning but am afraid to buy the bike for fear I won't like it. How does it compare to the treadmill and elliptical? I have both at home, do I need a bike too? My one fear is I count my steps and I hate workouts that don't show "steps". How does a spinning workout show on a fit bit in terms of steps?

Could you go to a class at a gym, so you can try spinning first?
I find the treadmill and elliptical to be boring. Just staring at a wall, or a tv is no fun for me. Spinning gives me a runners high. I love it. Since I do it to a video, and am coached by Cathe, I am pushed past my limits. I have every Cycle dvd Cathe has made, so I constantly am switching them up. No boredom!
I can not comment on the Fitbit. I have not purchased a fitness tracker for the very reason you speak of. Almost every workout I do does not get recognized by them.
