How did you convince your cheapskate partner?

Hello! I just did a demo at Nordstrom and the tonal is indeed awesome. My husband doesn't lift weights currently but he certainly used to and liked going to the gym pre-covid/pre-kids. I want him to demo it but even getting him over the price tag enough to demo may be hard.

I'm a peloton app user with a keiser bike and he'll use the bike while watching Netflix. How do I convince him on programs? Or is creating custom workouts where I should lean?

Any advice would be helpful. I'm also planning to finance and I'm hoping that might convince him rather than putting down a giant chunk of cash.
