I wanted to write this raving spectacular review for Float. I'm not the best writer but bare with me for an honest and open review. At the age of 21 I had two consecutive back surgeries. Seems somewhere in my childhood I fell on my butt and caused some damage. It's been 14 years since surgery. Nerve damage in both legs and lots of scar tissue. Fast forward to current times. I've learned to deal with the back and nerve pain. They have become just a part of who I am. In recent year i developed pain on the left side of my head. Occipital nueralgia. Feels like a screwdriver is being jammed into my eye socket. And then have episodes of pain along the eye and cheek bones. Over the last year I've looked for pain relief in all corners of the world. Got a daith piercing, tried herbal remedies, lost 70 pounds and many other things. I reached out to Jeremy for an appointment on messenger and was responded to almost instantly. Appointment booked! Time for my first float. I was super nervous! I'm a large plus size lady and it's always so hard to go into any establishment and not feel a little embarrassed. Worried about fitting into robes, or if I'll even fit in the equipment. I arrived at Float and was welcomed into an atmosphere of love and no judgment. Without even having to ask I was handed a super plush robe that fit!!!! The ladies locker room is outfitted with anything you need to get back out into the world. Combs, hairdryers, hair products and so much more. Once changed into the comfy robe, you are then asked to enter heavens chair placed on earth. This zero gravity massage chair covered everything. Arms, legs, back, neck and even feet. Ah-mazing! As you relax in this state of the art machine and take in the beauty of the room itself. Above are twinkling stars and what resembles a moon. If you look close enough you can find the big and little dipper. This starts the float experience for me as I felt I was already floating under the stars. Once the massage is completed comes the exciting part. The FLOAT! Sound proof rooms house these alien looking spaceships. Kind of daunting at first. But with everything explained I'm off to float. In the room, the pod exudes humid warmth. Before you get to float though a quick rinse is needed. I'm a simple country girl we have crappy shower heads at home and showering is just a requirement that has to be done. Not at Float. Waterfall type shower head. The flooring was really cool as well. A textured charcoal that would make even the most fearful of slipping pleasantly at ease. Pod time! Enter the warm pool of water and lay back. Your body becomes suspended and for me weightless. At 345 pounds weightless is not a feeling I ever feel. This took so much pressure off my back and legs. As the music softly plays you explore your environment and slowly realize no ones going to bother you. Your safe. Lights out. You cant tell if your eyes are open or shut. You feel nothing unless you wiggle a bit. You lose the feeling of where the water ends and the air begins. The music slowly fades away and your left with silence. Peaceful relaxing silence. No whir of a fan, no chatter, nothing. Babump. Babump. Babump. Your heartbeat becomes deafening. Slowly breathing in and out, you hear your breathe as it enters and leaves your body filling every cavern of your cavity. The humid thick air makes a cloud blanket that warms the skin and feels almost like a hug. I was able to freely stretch while suspended. I've been working on writing this review for a few days. I went looking for a miracle for my head pain, instead I found clarity about myself and relief from my everyday aches and pains. My lower body which is riddled with nerve pain felt soothed for the evening and into the next day. It felt like the release was just enough for some pressure release on a nerve somewhere. Ok so once you get out of the pod you can hang out, read, chill, look at local art and just be. Trust. You'll need a minute to acclimate back to the noisy world. Overall amazing experience! Take care of yourself and go float!! read more

Where to begin how mind blowing this place is. I've never even seen a FLOAT pod or heard of one. The experience put me in a trans deeper than any massage has. The ladies and gents were beyond sweet and caring. It's super clean and relaxing. What is a float pod and what do you do? Well you have the option of floating with or without clothes. Don't worry it's super salty which equals pretty clean. When you are in the pod, let the salts and water relax you. The water is the temp of your skin so it's not cold which I loved! The massage chairs are amazing! They do regular massages as well and are very fair priced for what you get. I loved everything about this place. Came out with three gift certificates. Maybe I got a little too excited but I wanted to share this incredible experience. If you catch specials for their open house, you can get so much for free! Highly recommend this place! read more

I loved my experience at Float! They were super nice and welcoming. I believe Courtney helped me. She explained everything very thoroughly and I appreciated that because it was my first time. The whole facility was really nice! I enjoyed my experience and can't wait to try it again and possibly get a membership! Glad to have this place in SA! read more

Enjoyed my first float today. I was greeted warmly and told exactly what I need to do. It is probably hard to describe, but very relaxing and great for my back. I like new experiences and this one I will repeat over and over. The business was very clean and nicely decorated. After my float I sat in their lounge area and just relaxed a little bit. I normally don't write reviews but this deserved one. read more

This was my birthday gift to myself and it truly was the greatest gift I could have given myself emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically. In every aspect of every way. It was a healing session and just what I needed. I started off in a relaxing room where I received my chair massage. Then introduced to the pod I would be in. Once in the pod you are floating on 1000 pounds of Epsom salt...in the pod all your senses are deprived which allows you to relax, your body feels at ease and restful, light but heavy at the same time. It was the most therapeutic thing I've experienced. It's so quiet in the pod- you can hear your thoughts but not just hear them you can feel them, you can live them like you're hallucinating into them. Which can be scary but so worth it. The mind is a strong and incredible thing. At first you only hear your breath, but after a while you hear nothing, you become one with the water and you can't even feel your body. It was extremely freeing, scary at first because once you're in the zone, you're not in control of your mind for an entire hour but it was so cathartic, you get an emotional release. Your mind dives into thoughts old and new. You feel like what you're dreaming/ thinking of is so vivid and real like you're hallucinating. I was able escape from the noise of my life and free my soul. It definitely is a life changing experience and I can't recommend this place enough! *** Plus the service was phenomenal. They provide you with robes, flip flops, towels, complimentary snacks and beverages, a relaxation area where you can unwind and journal after your float session. If you're iffy about floating in the nude you can rest easy, they give you your own sound proof room with the pod and shower in it that has a lock. All pods have a hydraulic door so you can open and close it, no latches no handles. They provide you with your own locker and a changing area that has all you need in it. read more

Float exceeded my expectations for my 1st time experiencing a float tank sensory deprivation chamber. Brandon was beyond helpful, and he gave me some excellent pointers as well as worked hard to make sure that I felt comfortable and welcome. Everything was very clean, inviting, and comfortable. Very relaxing, and the ambiance at Float is like you've entered a nautical paradise. See all of my photos, and do yourself a favor and come open minded enough to let yourself and the outside world go away. read more

If i cpuld give more than 5 stars i would. It was my first float & staff walked me through everything and very kind as soon as i walked in. Everything was clean. I felt so relaxed leaving. I will definately be back. read more

The float experience is one that everyone should try at least once; especially if you need to relax and unwind. It works like this: first you get a clean robe, some flip flops, then 15 minutes in a massage chair to start the relaxation process, then a shower before and you finally enter a very private pod or cabin with about 12 inches of body temperature water that contains about 1200 of salt added to it. The added salt (I think it's Epsom) makes you completely buoyant. It's also very healing. Just don't get it I your eyes, but if you do, there's a fix for it handy. You float in the water...the music fades away...the lights go out.... and you're alone with the sound of your own breathing and thoughts...and you just float. You will get the sensation of total weightlessness, you will drift away, you will relax like you never have before. For an hour, your body will release tension. It has no choice. You may even fall asleep (that's ok). You can't sink in the water...I even tested it by reaching down to touch the bottom, and it was tough to do. As your hour expires, the music fades in, the lights come on, and if you're lucky, you've also booked a massage afterward. Following the float, there is a shower for you with shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, and when you're all done, you can sit in the lounge and enjoy some warm tea. If you've booked a massage, that's next, and following that, you head back to the locker room where everything is available for you from clean combs, hair care products, and even deodorant. Trust me when I tell you that you will sleep well that night. I think they should keep the healing sounds on throughout. Silence can get VERY loud and even be distracting to the point of "are we there yet? ". Besides that, it was a wonderful experience. There was a hiccup on my first visit, but they made it right and the owner is a really nice guy. Do yourself a favor, and at least try it. You won't regret it. read more

This place is amazing, never been more at peace than when I was in the cabin for a 60 minute float. The staff is great and the atmosphere is extremely relaxing. If I was going to be in the area longer the membership would be a no brainer read more

Wow! I wasn't quite sure what to expect here. Boy was I pleasantly surprised with the relaxing experience I just had! If you have an hour, give this a try. You'll be glad you did! read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. Lisa is such a sweetheart, so friendly and calming. Rachel is a miracle worker and incredibly knowledgeable! Self care is very important during these times, and I can't recommend a better place to go! Support small businesses! read more

Elizabeth was a wonderful host. I was a first time floater and she was patient in answering all of my tedious questions. Ryen was also helpful and friendly. The facility was lovely and I enjoyed my experience. I would definitely recommend Float to a friend or family member interested in a peaceful, and new experience. read more

Has a fabulous 2 hour massage with Amanda today!! I get really bad knots in my back but I am a total sissy when it comes to pain. Amanda got the perfect amount of pressure!!! This is the second time I have been here and the staff has always been amazing!! read more

This is the place. What a wonderful experience. I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I went in feeling achy and hurting. By the time I left, I was floating on a cloud! So therapeutic. So calm. So peaceful. I loved every minute of it! Highly recommend!!! read more

Been going for about 2 months and Michelle D. is such an amazing therapist. And Lisa in the front area is sweet.

Great experience over all! Definitely adding more time to my massage next time. Great pricing. They also have an area where you can buy stuff to take home read more

This was my first time trying this experience and I enjoyed it a lot more than expected. I first caught eye of Float on Groupon, but while exploring the website, went with the TriFloat package. Scheduling online was super easy, and the location was also easy to find. They literally had everything you could ever need, make up remover, female hygiene products, shampoo/conditioner, bodywash, hair dryer, etc. The 15min massage chair was a great way to kick off the relaxing experience. You shower before enter the Pod and shower after the pod. Can't wait for my next 2 appointments! read more

Great staff! Great service. Will definitely return during my next trip! Burns the eyes a little bit but nothing you can really do about that and it's a small inconvenience for such a great service. read more

This place is awesome!! Did my first float and it was so relaxing, will go back. The massage chair prior to the FLOAT is so amazing i almost fell asleep!! Super clean and hygienic as well ! Great for after work as well :) read more

The place is OK, but the customer service is not that great. Went in there for my first float and the representative was rushing to tell me the procedures, but thats fine. The problem I got was the SpaFinder gift card that I used. It was a $100 gift card that I used $49 with my float. I wanted to make sure that the card will be OK to be used at this spa and it did, but the problem is that the card is a one time use no matter how much the service is as long as it is under $100. It was my fault that I didn't know that the card is "one time use". So my remaining balance of $51 was gone without being used. The representative did not tell me about this and did not provide any accommodation for the remaining balance. I feel like they just take the whole $100 without letting me know since it's one time use anyway. I messaged them back few hours later after I found out about the zero balance and the representative did not help at all and just said the manager will reply me in a few days. Not sure why it would take few days. It is now been 9 days and still no reply. Either the representative did not transfer my issue to the manager or the manager does not care at all after they took the money. read more

This was something I tried by a fluke, and ended up really enjoying it! The staff was amazing and very helpful, the place was spotless and the art in the relaxation area is gorgeous. The Float itself made me a bit nervous at first, but it was easy to relax after a few minutes. Very cool experience, definitely something I would like to try again. read more

Definitely would recommend! Very professional, knowledgeable and clean amenities. Everything was explained to me by Jessica and I felt comfortable in knowing what to do even though it was my first float. The float experience itself was impressive. I am not a person who relaxes easily and I almost fell asleep twice! I am telling all my family and friends about it and hope that more people start taking time to relax and get away from everyday stress with FLOAT. read more

Great find! Was in town for work and needed some stress relief. I did the infrared sauna and massage chair sessions. FABULOUS! Left feeling relaxed, and present. Facility was clean and staff was AWESOME! So friendly and helpful. Little details made the difference. Will definitely be back for a float session next time I'm in town! read more

I adored all the workers here! I haven't gotten any massages or taken the time for myself to find something that I'd like to do just for me and I was skeptical when my boyfriend got me a massage/float but the service here was amazing and they were so nice and had patience with me! It was a neat experience and I would love to do it again. read more

Great way to enter another birth year! Cleanse the mind,soul, and body. Thank you Yessica for the great experience and the opportunity to attend his great float location in San Antonio. #peace #oneLove read more

Jeremy and staff have a truly top notch operation at Float SA. I have gone twice now and both times I felt so welcome and relaxed. The massage chairs are awesome and the tanks have a spray bottle and towel in case you get salt in your mouth/eyes. I can't wait to go back for my third float! read more

This was so cool. First time floating and I loved it. I feel very relaxed. The float center is very clean and professional. Jessica walked us thru the process and put us at ease. Ended up joining as a monthly member. Thanx Jessica you rock! read more

Wow. This place is amazing. Worth the trek from stone oak to 410/10. Be sure to leave plenty of time for all this place has to offer. Private, quiet and well-stocked dressing room, the chill lounge, the pod itself (which is just an incredible experience, but so individual, I don't want to go into too much detail). You honestly don't need to worry about anything. It's an odd sensation at first, and several times I thought I wasn't really disconnected or sleeping and then suddenly the hour was up!!! I felt great for a few days after!! DO IT! read more

Had a great experience and can't wait to go again! The owner was very nice and made me feel comfortable. What surprised me was how energized I felt after my session! I've recommended this place to others. read more

My first experience with FLOAT was amazing! Elizabeth was so helpful, accommodating, and a wealth of knowledge. I can't wait to go back!!

Very awesome and professional experience! The staff was super friendly with explanations of how this works. Additionally, if you ever need anything, their customer service was on point! I'll be back here for sure! read more

What an amazing experience! I was so anxious for my first time and the owner and staff made me feel completely comfortable. The experience and atmosphere was so impressive, I joined as a member, so I can go more frequently to reboot and refresh my brain!! read more

First time floating and it was so relaxing!! Jessica made this experience wonderful, she was very friendly and helpful with everything!! I will definitely be going back with my husband! I feel so at peace and it's a great experienced! Thank you!! read more

I went to Float for the first time today, and it was an amazing experience. It was very easy to find, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful, and the place was gorgeous and very soothing inside. I also love that you can schedule your appointments online - great function! Since I've never floated before, they were quick to explain everything and make sure I knew what to expect - and the massage and float itself was heaven. I've never felt more relaxed, and my chronic back pain was diminished considerably after an hour in the tank. I can't wait to return! If you've never tried it before, take the plunge (pun intended) and try it out - you won't regret it. read more

Wow!!!! This place was amazing, staff was amazing. The experience floating was without equal.

I went as a birthday gift and it was a great experience! Elizabeth explained everything perfectly and even provided tips. The massage was great and the tank was wonderful! I will be going back for sure! read more

Beyond amazing ,customer services was amazing. I bought a Floating session for my Mother on Mothers day as a gift and she absolutely loved her experience. I highly recommend them ! read more

Did my first float today, suggested by Jessica (staff) and I must say it was awesome. As soon as I walked in Elizabeth greeted me with such a welcoming smile. She explained everything and answered all my questions. The floating experience was amazing. The staff is polite and also amazing. The place is clean, the atmosphere is pleasant. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested. read more

Excellent experience and the owners really pay attention to the small details. I go to the smaller tank every time and usually try a free cup of tea after. They take care of everything. Float is the standard read more

Love this place!! FLOAT is so very chill and relaxing, and I didn't even float. I purchased a 3 float package for my hubs for Christmas and decide to tag along for his first float. Jeremy was so nice, friendly and knowledgeable. He gave me a tour while the hubs was changing and let me relax in one of their awesome massage chairs. The facility is relaxing, very clean, and pretty, with some great art on the walls. I'm jealous of my hubby's float. I will definitely be back for a float or massage of my own, or both! read more
