Halo Top ice cream is opening up a "gym" for a limited time!

It's not a traditional gym, but you can still burn all the calories and get free ice cream.

Here’s something you never thought you’d see: An ice cream company is opening gyms nationwide - experience it for a limited time in Chicago’s Magnificent Mile area from April 28 - April 30.

If you’re wondering how an ice cream company can pull this off, Halo Top’s No Work Workout gym features a slew of fun, calorie burning activities in a quick 24-minute circuit that will keep you active without feeling like you did a whole workout. And don’t worry about gym fees here- it’s all free to the public.

Instead of sweating in a spin class - take a spin on the Mechanical Bull. A pillow fight station mimics doing rounds on a traditional punching bag set-up. Instead of pullups, see how long you can hang from the rim after a Jordan style dunk. And the best part? Every workout ends with free ice cream.
