5 Places to Take Your Break in Your Coworking Space
Rihanna said it best – work.work.work.work.work.
Who else can relate – you sit down at your desk and before you know it, hours have passed that have felt like minutes. When tensions are high, when deadlines are approaching, when quarters are ending, when times are stressful – we tend to work straight through it and not give ourselves a chance to breathe.
We want to do well at our jobs, it’s not a bad thing! Our goals are high and we have big plans for our future. However, the work hard mentality isn’t always what’s best for our bodies and won’t always allow us to perform our best.
It’s important to take breaks and give ourselves a chance to recuperate and recharge. The great news is – coworking spaces create the perfect environment for productive breaks during the workday. Not only are they centrally located in the city, but they house several different rooms and areas for an effective break time.
1. Relaxation Rooms
Who else already feels relaxed just by reading that? Relaxation rooms are the perfect getaway for a short trip away from your office. They are quiet, solitary rooms with comfortable chairs (sometimes even massage chairs) that allow you to take a deep breath and cleanse your mind. Many of our coworking spaces offer relaxation rooms and there’s good reason why they are so popular and well utilized between CommonGrounds members.
2. Coffee Bar
Nothing says “recharge” like a cup of coffee. CommonGrounds is proud to offer our iconic rose gold La Cimbali espresso machine (fondly known as “Rosie”) in many of our premier locations across the United States. A Rosie in your coworking space means lattes, cappuccinos, espressos and more just steps away from your office! Nothing is more refreshing than the scent of a freshly brewed beverage and a friendly Workplace Manager that’s more than happy to brew it for you.
3. A Short Walk
It’s always good to get some fresh air. If the office is feeling overwhelming you just need to get out, we say go for it!
All CommonGrounds Workplace are centrally located, typically in the heart of their city. This means they are nearby some of the best restaurants, cafes, and local favorites in the city that are in walking distance. So take a quick jaunt around the block, maybe grab a snack or window shop while you’re at it, and stretch your legs. You’ll come back feeling fresh, rejuvenated, and ready to tackle the rest of your day.
4. Wellness Rooms
A wellness room is different than a relaxation room, but still holds supreme value. A wellness room is a private room where you can spend some time if you are feeling mentally or physically unwell, or if you are a nursing mother that needs to pump. This room provides a space for necessary breaks and is an area designed to make you feel comforted and supported.
5. Fitness Center
Sometimes you just need to work it out. That’s why several of our spaces feature fitness centers! We place immense value on wellness in the workplace and taking a break for some gym time is time well spent. Whether you decide to go after work or in the middle of the day, it’s up to you – that’s why we love flexible workspaces!
Coworking spaces like CommonGrounds Workplace are full of support. We support a healthy workday and a workday that’s productive. In order to maintain a healthy workday, you need to take care of your body and your mind, and part of that includes taking breaks. So choose a work environment where you can not only take a break, but take a break you can actually enjoy.
