@Machavity While I agree it was spam, the moderator made a choice to save the content and try to push the user into being a productive contributor. As with many of these where there is undisclosed affiliation, I initially flagged it with a custom mod-flag explaining that it has undisclosed affiliation. So, my impression is that the moderator made an informed decision.
There aren't any additional posts on SE which mention the domain. Although, it is in the user's profile. The user is currently blacklisted. We can watch the domain (I'll do that shortly). The MS post has TP feedback. I don't really see more for us to do at this time. We'll see if the user posts additional spam.
@Machavity I think you may have confused this post with the answer you linked in your message I replied to above, which is a different answer on the same question. I did not find any association between the user and the linked site. (I looked when this was originally reported, and again now. The user's profile at least claims to have the type of experience which an SE site like Physical Fitness would like to keep as a contributor.
The question asks for recommendations or links to resources. The blog post linked in this answer is a list of treadmill workouts, which is what the question is asking for. The linked page contains no 3rd party advertising. I definitely wouldn't mark this one as spam.

@PrincessOlivia I looked and "bamse" has 26 legit uses. If it's just to catch the repeat, we have a rule to do that. And they might be changing it up too (see this report)

@Machavity Was this post really spam? It just looks like a poor questions to me. I'm not seeing any obvious association of the user with the site (e.g. nothing in their profile; only one post with a link to the site; the user has had an account for > 6 years).
