In the era of remote work, when people are used to working from anywhere, fitness clubs in the United States are becoming not only places for training but also interesting coworking spaces. An example is the Chelsea Piers in Brooklyn, where, in addition to training, you can hold online meetings and just relax. 

The coworking area is almost 400 square meters. m, it includes work desks and lounge areas for business communication, available to all club members. 

These innovations emphasize changes in the perception of the work environment.

Coworking is becoming a bridge between office and home, reducing loneliness (83% of respondents) and creating stronger social ties, while providing flexibility in choosing a place to work. The study, conducted in conjunction with the #WorkAnywhere project, showed that people consider working in a coworking space to be more socially meaningful than working in an office (64%) or at home (67%). 

Realizing the benefits of coworking, employers are actively supporting their employees in choosing public spaces. The benefits from Spotify and the Remote initiative emphasize the importance of flexibility for today’s workforce.

The idea of coworking appeared less than 25 years ago and has since evolved into thousands of spaces around the world. Statista’s forecast for 2024 is for 42,000 coworking spaces, emphasizing the importance and dynamics of this type of workspace.
