what our members say.

  • Such an accessible and lovely space conducive to conversation, focused work, and/or creative output - they think of everything you might need and provide a variety of spaces for those needs. It's our only go-to for team meetings, and is our main go-to when we need to find a fresh space to work when our own offices aren't cutting it. And the staff - I could name my favorites, but don't want to take away from the team here - they do such a great job curating the space and giving every individual what they need. LOVE IT.

  • "This is the best place in town if you’re a freelancer, remote worker or small startup who doesn’t want to work from home. The space is super cool. There’s a perfect mix of open space and meeting rooms. I’m a big fan of the phone booths that cut all noise in and out. But the real strength of Gravitate is its community. Everyone there is inspiring in their own way. It’s like having friends / coworkers in a work environment without the office politics. Check it out!"

    Julien D

  • "When I joined Gravitate in 2017, I was looking to get out of my home office and find a place to be more productive; I wasn’t expecting to also find my “Office Tribe.” Every morning, I look forward to going into Gravitate, because I’m surrounded by innovative and creative minds!"

    Colleen K

  • "When I moved to Des Moines I was in need of two things—workspace that was outside of my house, and a way to meet new people. Gravitate has been an indispensable resource that has helped me manage both my professional and social life in one convenient place."

    Mason K

  • "The staff is super friendly and accommodating. They put on great events and find things to celebrate, so the office is always lively. I also appreciate the different types of spaces available to move about throughout the day. Overall, a great place to get work done and also meet new people."

    Carrington K

  • "This place is amazing. The staff is attentive and always available, plenty of coffee (even at 3pm!) and super fast Internet. The downtown location is gorgeous. They use a modern app/tech for entry and reservations."

The Gravitate team has been exceptional at welcoming us in and accommodating our needs, allowing our team to get up and running quickly in their space. The social spaces and conference rooms provide us with all the collaborative space we need, and we've had the opportunity to meet new people we wouldn't have met otherwise. Highly recommend!"

    William S

  • I've been a member of Gravitate since moving to Des Moines and always find new and relevant ways to utilize my coworking membership. Whether that's attending a Pretzel Day to learn more about my fellow coworkers passions or attending a crafternoon to craft away the blues, I always have a positive experience when stepping foot in any of the locations. Would recommend to anyone who needs a place to call their home away from home!

    Britt S

  • I have worked in the East Village location for over a year. The space has everything I want — dedicated offices, open seating, small team rooms and conference rooms for collaboration, phone booths for private calls. Plus, the coolest balcony overlooking Grand Ave! The staff are extremely helpful, accommodating, and kind. It’s great to see “the regulars” and have “drop ins!” A fun, supportive environment!

    McKenzie K

  • My team has been using Gravitate in the Des Moines area for close to 1 year now. We have had the opportunity to use all three Des Moines locations. All three locations are fantastic!!! The best part is how friendly and accommodating the staff is. If there is something we need they are there to help in any way. ANYONE that is in need of a place to work, a place to have a group meeting, or a place to have a large event meeting this is the place to go!!!

    Brad E

  • Location is clean, professional and generally quiet as people focus on their work. The front desk staff is always friendly!

    Betsy M

  • Great way to change things up and get away from the home office for work. The Gravitate team is great to work with and very friendly which creates a positive and friendly environment. They always answer any questions I have about using any spaces and access to supplies is a nice feature as well. The space itself is modern and allows for a professional environment when meeting with clients. Another nice aspect is that the portal/app allows for me to quickly reserve spaces such as the conference room with ease. Way to go Gravitate team!
