I suppose the questions back to you are what do you want to achieve, what do you want from a turbo, are there any specific features you think you'd like / need etc and what is your budget ? What was you fitness level before taking up cycling, run 10k or usually drive to the chip shop ?

Tell us more and we can try and be more specific about what might suit your needs

Well I just want to use it to get more base fitness for cycling, my fitness is already high being a Royal Marine, also want to climb a lot better than I do but know best way for that is climbing hills, I have a price around £200,

On the one I mentioned you can do sim hills, fast spins and intervals etc. I use it through out the year when I cannot get out on the road and when the weather is really bad my fitness stays at a good level so that when I get back on the road there is no real discernible difference IME.
If your willing to put the work in I find them to be a really useful asset to training.:)
