When it comes to leading a healthy and fulfilling life, it's not just about hitting the gym and eating your veggies. Studies have shown that community and connection play a vital role in our overall well-being, both mentally and physically.
Joining a coworking community can do wonders for your mental well-being by providing a space that fosters and strengthens social connections. It's not just about the physical amenities like a desk, coffee, and Wi-Fi, but rather the built-in network of individuals who can become your friends, support system, or even your future partner (we've seen it happen!).
We’re growing again! Our fifth Gravitate Coworking location is on the way for early 2022—Gravitate East Village (yeah!).
You can find us at 505 East Grand Avenue, Suite 200. That building might look familiar to you as it is also home of the flagship RAYGUN store. Gravitate will occupy the entire second floor of the building, with more than 10,000 sqft of community and workspace!
We’re proud to share that our own Abby Rowling, Director of Operations and Downtown Community Manager, has been named as one of five finalists for the “Community Manager Award” presented by the Global Workspace Association (GWA), an industry group that serves coworking spaces and other flex-space providers.
WOI Local 5 News featured Gravitate Coworking during Good Morning Iowa this week.
An employee here at Gravitate says once work from home started they began getting more inquiries about people wanting to leave home coming here to work and she says recently those have increased and that's because people have been telling her because of the promise of a vaccine and them feeling like it’s safer to go out.
Through Gravitate Coworking’s participation in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, our founder Geoff Wood was invited to speak on 1/22/2021 with Rep. Cindy Axne, who represents Iowa’s 3rd congressional district (including the Des Moines-metro) in the US House of Representatives. We thank Congresswoman Axne for her time and work on behalf of Iowan’s in Washington, DC. This post represents the remarks that Geoff shared on the call.
I'm excited to share that we are officially opening our first rural coworking space next month (woot!) in Jefferson.
Gravitate Coworking—Jefferson will be at retail-level in the “City View on State” building at 202 E. State St. It’s just off the town square northeast of the Greene County Courthouse and immediately adjacent to Accenture's Rural Forge project. The local community’s ability to rally together and execute on unconventional and forward-thinking projects like Rural Forge are a big reason that we decided to start our own rural initiative in Jefferson.
