Health club brand David Lloyd Leisure Group is launching the world's first 'pay with exercise' café, where guests will be able to pay for their food and beverages by exercising. The ‘Run For Your Bun’ café aims to highlight the important role that food and exercise play in a healthy, balanced lifestyle by encouraging guests to take part in high intensity workouts lead by one of David Lloyd's personal trainers. The café fuses elements of a hip Scandi-style coffee shop with those of a gym, and swaps cash tills and contactless payment terminals for treadmills, spin bikes, rowing machines and exercise mats.
