The Run For Your Bun Cafe takes 'exercise for payment’, which means that you choose an item you'd like to eat, and then pay for it by hitting the treadmill, spin bike, or rowing machine.


A grilled chicken burger can be paid for with a one-minute session on the rowing machine, one minute on the spin bike, and one minute on the treadmill, followed by 60 seconds of sit-ups, squats, and lunges.
