Location

The right location can really make or break your experience with a coworking space. A convenient, well-situated workspace not only saves you time but also enhances your work-life balance. 

Located right in the heart of Old Town, the DWC coworking space is just minutes away from local coffee shops and the best lunch spots that Fort Collins has to offer. Plus, cutting down on commute time means more freedom to focus on your work and enjoy your evenings instead of being stuck in traffic. The right location can transform your workday into a more productive and enjoyable experience.

Price

It’s no secret that price matters. Affordability and value for money should align with the amenities and services offered. DWC coworking is currently offering a new member special for the first three months. Flex Desk memberships are available for just $109/month for the first three months, before returning to the regular rate of $199/month. Fixed Desk memberships are available for $139/month for the first three months, then revert to the standard rate of $249/month. These competitive prices allow you to experience all the benefits of a professional coworking space without breaking the bank.

Amenities

Amenities play a crucial role in enhancing productivity and comfort in a coworking space. DWC provides a variety of amenities to support your work needs, including:

• High-speed internet access
• Complimentary tea and coffee
• Black and white printing
• Standing desks
• A well-equipped conference room

Having access to these amenities ensures you have everything you need to stay productive and comfortable throughout your workday.

Networking Opportunities

One of the biggest drawbacks of working from home is the lack of human interaction. At DWC Coworking, we understand the importance of balancing focused work time with opportunities for connection and collaboration.

Our coworking space fosters a dynamic community where you can network with like-minded professionals, exchange ideas, and even discover potential business partnerships. Whether you’re sharing insights over a coffee break or brainstorming with the person at the next desk, you never know when inspiration might strike. Networking is essential for growth, and at DWC, we provide an environment where connections happen naturally.

Welcome to DWC Coworking, the perfect retreat for busy parents who need a break from household distractions to buckle down and get work done. Our coworking space offers a quiet, focused environment where you’ll be surrounded by other driven professionals—whether you’re launching a business, tackling a big project, or simply craving a productive atmosphere.

We always hear about how important it is to have a healthy work-life balance, but why is that? Setting clear boundaries between work and home life can help to prevent burnout, improve work performance, and reduce stress. Taking on too much at once means you probably aren’t giving your full attention to the task at hand and that can lead to feeling burnt out and overwhelmed quicker than you may realize. 

Having a dedicated working space to go to and get your work done helps you to switch off your work brain when you get home so that you can be fully present with your family and actually enjoy your downtime. If you’re thinking about all the work you still need to get done while you’re at home with your family, then is it really your downtime? Reward yourself with some actual relaxation by separating your work life and personal time.

So, if you’re ready to reclaim your focus, boost your efficiency, and enjoy your time at home without the stress of unfinished tasks hanging over your head, come check out the DWC Coworking Space. Your productivity (and your sanity) will thank you. Get started by booking a tour through our website or giving us a call 970-980-8091.

If you spend long hours sitting at a desk I’m sure you can relate to the feeling of being deep into your work and suddenly coming to the realization that you’re slouched over with your shoulders hunched and you start to become a little too aware of the aching in your back and neck. Sure, a good stretch break can help, but what else?

An article published by the Orthopaedic Hospital of Wisconsin talks about the truth behind standing desks. The overall consensus is that using a standing desk periodically throughout your work day can have some great overall health benefits. What are those health benefits? 

Burn More Calories

One of the biggest challenges of a desk job is trying to stay active during the day. Using a standing desk can help you burn some extra calories! Around 100-200 calories per hour, to be exact. While that may seem like a small amount, it adds up! Throw in a walking pad under your desk while you’re standing and you’re also getting in your daily steps while working. That sounds like a win win to me!

Improve Posture and Reduce Back Pain

Another benefit of using a standing desk throughout your work day is that it can help improve posture, which in turn helps with back pain. We’re all getting older, but that doesn’t mean we need to be in pain. By occasionally standing instead of sitting at work, you can reduce minor back pain caused by sitting for long periods of time. 

Remember: standing desks are most effective when paired with proper ergonomic adjustments. Ensure your screen is at eye level, your wrists are straight, and your feet are firmly planted.

Boost Mood and Focus

Lastly, using a standing desk can also help boost your mood and focus! Who wouldn’t want to be in a better mood at work? Standing can make you feel like you’re doing something good for your health and when you feel good, you’re usually going to be in a better mood. 

Now that I’ve thoroughly convinced you that you need to incorporate a standing desk into your work flow, I bet you’re thinking to yourself “where am I going to get a standing desk?”. You’re in luck! Here at the DWC Coworking space, we have multiple standing desks to choose from. Schedule a tour here to check out the office, or reach out to info@digitalworkshopcenter.com with any questions!
