Where Do Remote Workers Find Community in Birmingham?

Coworking spaces don’t exist for entrepreneurs only- we know remote workers also need to get out of their home office and into a thriving community. It’s easy for remote workers to work from coffee shops but they are full of distractions, (usually) spotty wifi and you end up spending too much money on coffee and snacks. Not to mention, most coffee shops are only offering to-go in the era of COVID.

Forge provides stylish, modern workspaces, events, networking opportunities and access to an ever-growing support system. Not to mention, we also offer free unlimited Domestique coffee all day everyday.

“I work on a small team of co-workers based all over the U.S. Because of that, I spend quite a lot of time of my work week participating in conference calls and Skype meetings. Being a member at Forge not only helps me incorporate in-person socializing into each day, but it also motivates me in terms of outside-the-box thinking and gives me a network of people with diverse perspectives and backgrounds to bounce ideas off of.”

A coworking membership at Forge is $189/month- giving you access to open workspace 24/7. $189 may sound like a lot but hear me out….

You are guaranteed a spot to work.

You don’t have to pay for coffee.

No more crappy wifi.

There are phone booths for phone calls.

Our space is spotlessly clean!

You have plenty of space to socially distance from fellow coworkers!

You are no longer alone- you can be part of a community of friendly faces at Forge.

“With events for members every week, at varying times of the day, there are opportunities for everyone to feel connected. I travel every other week for my job and Forge provides that consistency of a place to work when I am home. Also, having the Pizitz Food Hall downstairs is always convenient. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is constantly looking for a good place to work and coffee shops or their house just won’t cut it.”

Everyone at Forge is here to get work done. When you think about it, the majority of people in a coffee shop aren’t there to work. The music can be distracting- along with the many conversations you overhear from strangers! Don’t be tempted by your bed any longer- get out of your home office and be your best self.

If you need more convincing, read some reviews from current Forge members who are remote workers.

“Since starting to work out of Forge in 2019, I quickly realized the environment that Forge has to offer its members is like nothing else I’ve experienced in my career. Forge and The Pizitz have developed a community that provides multiple opportunities to meet other professionals in the Birmingham area. As an Atlanta native, this has been very beneficial for me to grow my network and engage even more with this city.”

“Being a remote employee, it is hard to establish a sense of community and productivity working from home. The Forge has afforded me many opportunities to network and build relationships with other business professionals in the Birmingham market, while providing the structure of an office environment to help me maintain a high level of productivity. Working at Forge is one of the best career decisions I’ve made.”

Forge Member, Eric

“Forge has been such a blessing for the past two and a half years! Because I work remotely for a company in based Nashville, I had a tendency to feel very isolated at first – which is not a great thing for work ethic let alone mental health. Since I joined Forge, I am not only more efficient but am also reenergized by the people surrounding me. It reminds me that though I am working alone, I can still be surrounded by an great community of people who inspire me in my own job.”
