AquaFloat

I am so grateful that Aquafloat exists. The sense of freedom I experience while floating is simultaneously exhilarating and profoundly relaxing. It feels like I’ve been on a two week vacation! The facility is pristine. The lobby is serene, with exquisite sculptures to uplift the spirit. Staff personnel are knowledgeable, and focused on customer satisfaction. Highly recommended.

Relaxation x 1000! This place is amazing. If you want to relax, but try something new, this is it. You will not be disappointed. Staff is friendly. Facility is calming. Worth every dime.

An enjoyable experience in a clean and peaceful environment. It was the first time I’ve ever indulged in sensory deprivation and it will not be the last. I was concerned that I would feel claustrophobic but the tanks are large and I didn’t give it another thought as I floated my way to the most calm I’ve ever felt. This relaxed state is with me still and my husband noticed how I was glowing after exiting the spa. This is not something he would normally engage in, but he will be taking his maiden voyage tomorrow. I know that this will become part of our natural health régime and we will become regular floaters. Give it a try, you won’t be sorry and your skin will feel amazing. The proprietor is a wonderful guy and walks you through what to expect so any fears are put to rest as soon as you step into the water. I highly recommend it!

Aqua Float is a totally different kind of spa or wellness center than my husband and I have ever visited — more focused on individual meditation and healing rather than a social experience we could share with each other and friends. We spent 90 minutes in individual rooms within enclosed tanks, each boasting more than 800 pounds of saltwater with a little ambient lighting.
First impressions:
*It looks like a space ship or a device from some sci-​fi, futuristic film.
*I need to be extra careful not to accidentally rub my eyes with salt as it will burn.
*I will probably get bored, but this is supposed to be healing so I’m going with the flow.
Afterward:
*I fell asleep half-​way through and woke up with a start as it took me a minute to re-​orient myself. I also started to feel a bit claustrophobic so I opened the lid of tank a bit.
*I was incredibly thirsty — downing two water bottles immediately.
*After showering off all the salt, my skin felt amazingly smooth and I was glowing.
*When Michal and I met up in the lounge, we helped ourselves to complimentary fruit, lemon-​infused water and tea while reading a few materials on the benefits of floating, as well as journaling/​doodling. This time helped with extending the relaxation experience and alleviated my dehydration.
*I felt a boost in my mood and energy level that lasted me through the day.
Would I do it again?
Probably not unless there is another LivingSocial deal — We paid $ 29 each for what normally costs $ 60 each. Also — the length of the session seemed a bit too long to me as I did get a bit stir-​crazy in that tank.
However, I like finding unique, local spots like this and will now consider doing my Epsom salt baths at home as I love the way my skin feels afterward. This was also a very calming, restorative experience that I would recommend if you’re having a stressful or anxious week, as it truly helped me to quiet my mind.

Really cool experience. I’ve never done any type of «floating» or sensory deprivation before, but I thought I’d give it a try just because it’s close to where I live and someone I know tried it and really liked it. The building itself is beautiful, like a spa, and the owner gave me the run down since I was new. I’m not the meditative or yogi type, but I found the whole experience to be very relaxing and worthwhile. The pods themselves are much larger than I expected and once you’re inside with no light, they seem massive. I just focused on breathing and let my mind drift, and the time kind of melted away. I found myself in that feeling when you are heading to sleep and you flirt with sleepiness and lucidity.
After my float, I was noticeably more relaxed and had more of a sensitivity to stimuli, like music, than before. Usually I drive with music on, but I kept it off for the ride home to contribute to my mindful experience. I’d definitely do this again. This spot is particularly nice and the owner really knows his stuff. Give it a try.
