My coworker told me gravity isn’t a force it’s an effect mass has on space time, like falling into a hole or something. We’re not physicists, I don’t understand.

The force between your feet and the ground is percectly real and it’s reasonable to describe gravity as a force.
You *can* describe gravity as “not a force” since its an emergent property of motion through a curved spacetime, but then you can argue the other fundamental forces are also “not forces” since these “forces” also arise as emergent properties of something else.
