Everyone should experience a sensory-deprivation tank, at least once. Each pod contains around 200 gallons of water with 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt. The salt creates buoyant water enabling your body to float. There are hundreds of reasons to go experience this: meditation, exercise/ training/ injury recovery, insomnia, relaxation, wellbeing, pregnancy, PTSD treatment, etc. The salt also is beneficiary for your hair, skin, and body. This also includes a cleansing and detox of your body.
I chose Float Life because it close to my place, available parking, and cheaper than most float pod companies. Thanks to Groupon it was $40 for a 60-minute float, which is no longer valid. Prices are $70 for 60-minutes, $90 for 90-minutes. Use promo code Try60 for $20 off. Memberships are also available.
The lobby is clean and smaller. Staff is friendly and spends 10 minutes thoroughly explaining standard safety, tips, and facts. Ask any and all the questions you want. Our staff member knew all the answers. I scheduled my Float just a day in advance online at floatlifewi.com, or you can call. My friend scheduled her Float at the same time as mine, but a lot of people just go by themselves.
Showers and shampoo are in the room. They also supply makeup wipes, petroleum jell for cuts, and earplugs, which they strongly advise. A spray water bottle and dry cloth is located in the pod to use if you get salt in your eye. Do not wipe your face or eyes and you won't have a problem. I turned the room lights completely off and turned the music in the pod to soft. PITCH BLACK-- so, I ended up turning the pod light to dim. The first 20 minutes I was anxious and couldn't lay still. After that, I felt meditated and calm. I never felt claustrophobic. My advice is to know exactly where the music and light buttons are before you turn the room lights off. The last thing you want to be doing is fumbling around in the dark. My friend said that she couldn't lay still. This is not for everyone, but we are glad we tried it! My favorite result from this experience is that I had a great night sleep that night. read more
