About us
Gevity was built on a simple belief: your ambition, health, and relationships should strengthen one another, not compete for whatever time is left.
Success shouldn’t come at the expense of your well-being.
Gevity is for people who care deeply about what they’re building—and how they feel while building it.
A place where work, wellness, and community are part of the same rhythm.
Cold plunges between conference calls.
Yoga before your first meeting.
Red light therapy after a long day.
Espresso with someone who might change your next chapter.
Because a successful life should feel as good as it looks.
We were tired of building life in pieces.
Work happened in one place. Wellness in another. Community somewhere in between. So we built the place we couldn’t find.
The Founders
Connor Michalek
Espoir Michalek
Connor came from the high-pressure world of tech sales. Espoir grew up immersed in wellness, watching her family run a gym and build a movement community.
More than co-founders, Connor and Espoir are partners in life—a married team who kept returning to the same question throughout their travels:
Why were the things that made life feel full always kept separate?
They set out to build something different: a private club where focused work, physical well-being, personal growth, and meaningful connection could exist together.
Not another place to squeeze into your schedule.
A place designed around the life you actually want to live.
The ice bath epiphany that started it all
Connor was deep in prep mode. Building a travel blog, training for high-altitude climbs, and working through the early stages of something new.
He’d been grinding for hours and needed a reset.
So he hit a local cold plunge spot.
After a few minutes in the ice, he felt sharp again. Energized, alive, completely locked in. He turned to the staff and asked casually, “Hey, can I bring my laptop tomorrow? Sit in the ice, fire off some work, knock a few things out?”
A place where you could push your work forward and take care of yourself in the process.
Where you could recover without disappearing from your day. Drop into flow and be part of a real community.
That moment was the start of Gevity.
Not just a place to plunge.
A place where modern wellness, focused work, and human connection aren’t competing, they’re integrated.
It wasn’t a business plan. It was a gut feeling.
And it wouldn’t let go.
