As a writer, I spend a large chunk of my day crafting content, and having a quiet space to focus is key to meeting deadlines. You might be familiar with Endeavor — a membership-based, collaborative coworking space downtown. But did you know that you can enjoy discounted access with their new Study Hall Pass?

What we tried:

Step inside Endeavor’s lobby and you’ll notice how vibrant it is. From the copper pennies adorning the ceiling to the windows overlooking downtown, the space feels open and welcoming. Communal areas surrounded by colorful artwork + comfy couches provide places to work, eat, or have a chat.

I used my Study Hall Pass to spend a day working at Endeavor. Shannon Wilbanks, Managing Partner at Endeavor, gave me a tour of the sprawling 20,000-sqft space, before I settled in for an afternoon of productivity.

What not to miss:

I spent most of my time powering through tasks inside The Sandbox, Endeavor’s quiet zone. WFH has its perks, but let’s be real — it’s easy to get distracted. Thanks to the Sandbox’s cozy + quiet environment, I was laser-focused in knocking out my to-do list.

Bonus: I could plug my laptop into large monitors, just like my at-home setup.

For my afternoon Zoom meeting, I popped into one of the private phone booths for some privacy. Afterward, I refilled my coffee from their bottomless selection and went right back to work.

What we’re still talking about:

Fully equipped with everything needed to break a sweat after a long day, Endeavor’s convenient on-site gym features state-of-the-art equipment + spa-like changing rooms. Need a mid-day movement break? Set up your laptop on one of the treadmills (like a standing desk) to walk while you work.

Bonus: Endeavor’s gym is rarely crowded, so you can get right to your workout.
