This looks like a great project ! Please donate in case it helped you or you like the idea. Every little helps. It's the only way such projects can stay open-source.
I fully agree with the social aspects, but the gym and food argument feels like a lack of self-discipline. Don't start your work if you are still in your underpants !
> Food is also big draw. Now I have to worry about what I eat every day and make my food. That's extra stress and cognitive pressure that is completely avoided when I get to just eat lunch from office's cafeteria.
Just use money saved on the commute and spend it at the local restaurant or order a catering.
