Coworking Space Amenities that will Change the way you Work
Out with the water coolers, in with the gyms. Here are some coworking space amenities that will improve your work day and where to find them.
Outdoor Coworkng Space Amenities
A change in environment can be a great way to destress or refocus. That’s why we love coworking spaces that offer outdoor options such as a terrace or rooftop cafe. Some of our favourite spaces offering this amenity include &Co Coworking in New York, and Temps Libre in Montreal.
Health & Wellness Coworking Space Amenities
The hustle life may have chosen you, but you can (and should!) choose to spare yourself the burn-out. Many coworking spaces offer amenities to support coworkers’ daily health and wellness. This can include anything from an in-office gym, to wellness rooms for meditation or reflection, to in-office energy-healing practitioners and even aromatherapy stations. Werklab in Vancouver and WeWork South Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York are two coworking spaces offering great health and wellness amenities.
24/7 Access
On the flip side, we know there are days when there’s just no time to stop and smell the essential oils. For those days, 24/7 access to your office—which is available at most coworking spaces—can be a saviour. This popular amenity is also great for coworkers whose peak productivity hours don’t fall between 9-5. Both night owls and early birds can rest easy knowing they can start and end their workday whenever they please.
Networking & Workshops
Lack of community is one of the biggest challenges faced by remote workers today. While the freedom and flexibility gained by working at home is tempting, many who choose this path come to realize that despite all its benefits, it’s hard to ignore the creeping feelings of loneliness that come with working at home. Enter coworking spaces. By offering physical spaces from which people can work, the coworking world empowers remote workers to build valuable personal and professional connections. While community is inherent to every coworking space, our hats go off to those making a focused effort to get coworkers mingling. This can include monthly socials and workshops, offered by spaces like Make Lemonade in Toronto and Bond Collective in New York.
